8) Indicate which of the five major types of membrane protein (adhesion, enzymatic, recognition, receptor, and transport) is most likely to be involved in each of the situations described below: a) An oncologist wants to study the cells from a certain tumour that has been surgically removed from a patient. However, she must first treat the tumour with a solution affects a membrane protein on the tumour cells. Because of the effect of the solution on the membrane protein, the tumour tissue falls apart into individual cells. Type of membrane protein: b) Farmer Jebediah wakes up in the morning and makes himself an extra-strong coffee. The caffeine in the coffee attaches to a protein in the plasma membrane of his neurons, inducing a signal transduction cascade and causing Farmer Jebediah to be more alert Type of membrane protein:

With protein kinase-mediated molecular switches, downstream target molecules are typically activated by ... a) being phosphorylated b) binding to ATP c) the action of a phosphataase d) hydrolysis of GTP e) binding to GTP
The activity provides you with a version of the NGF pathway, an example of a RTK. All of the proteins involved can be in ON/OFF states. Using this cell signaling pathway you will be asked a variety of questions to determine how the molecules are regulated, but also how a cell would respond if this cell signaling party steps were interrupted or activated.

2 of 16 Compound Binds to Elicits biological receptor response A Yes Yes B Yes No C No No Refer to the table above. Compound X is the natural ligand that binds to a receptor and stimulates a signal transduction pathway associated with the receptor. Based on the information given in the table, what are the roles of compounds A, B, and C? O A is an antagonist, B is an agonist, and C is a ligand. A is an agonist, B is an antagonist, and C has no role. A is a ligand, B has no role, and C is an antagonist. A is an agonist, B is an antagonist, and C is an agonist. A has no role, B is an agonist, and C is an antagonist.
For the protein Calmodulin-1: 1) this protein have any secondary, tertiary and/or quaternary structures present? 2) Are there any molecular additions to this protein that are not amino acids?For both questions, can you explain if so, where specifically? The protein Calmodulin-1 is stated to have the molecular function of signaling receptor binding which is interrelated with the biological function of calcium-mediated signaling. Can you explain this relationship?
