Caspase proteins are enzymes known to play a role in programmed cell death (apoptosis) and the inflammatory response. Apoptotic caspases are subcategorized into initiator and executioner caspases. Initiator caspases produce a chain reaction that activates executioner caspases. Caspase 9 is a kind of initiator caspase and caspase 3 is a kind of executioner caspase that plays a direct role in degrading cellular components.Apoptosis can be activated by internal (intrinsic) cellular mechanisms or external (extrinsic) signals. The extrinsic apoptotic pathway begins with the reception of a signal at the death receptors and the intrinsic apoptotic pathway begins with the permeabilization of the mitochondria. Both apoptotic caspase pathways are shown in Figure 1. Caspase proteins have been implicated in the premature death of cornea endothelial tissue being stored for transplant. To investigate the effect of caspases 3 and 9 on tissue degradation, scientists monitored the endothelial cell…

Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that is a central regulator of cell division and cellular metabolism. Activated mTOR phosphorylates several protein targets, this activates pathways that lead to increased energy utilization, increased cell division and decreased apoptosis (cell death). Over-activation of mTOR is associated with several types of human cancer. In healthy cells, signaling downstream of growth factor receptors leads to the activation of PI3 kinase (PI3K), which phosphorylates lipid targets such as PIP2, forming PIP3. These lipids recruit a kinase called AKT to the cell membrane, where it is phosphorylated and activated. In turn, AKT phosphorylates and inactivates PRAS40. PRAS40 is normally bound to mTOR, inhibiting its activity. Thus, inactivation of PRAS40 activates mTOR. A schematic of this signaling pathway is shown below. Which of the following mutations is most likely to increase activation of mTOR? a mutation that decreases the activity of…

Many common medications function by interrupting the normal operation of certain signal transduction pathways. Which of the following describes a possible mechanism by which a certain medication may interrupt a signal transduction pathway? A A medication enters the target cell and triggers apoptosis by causing the release of di- gestive enzymes from cell lysosomes. B A medication interacts with the phospholipid bi-layer of the cell membrane and in- creases its permeability. с D A medication binds to membrane-bound glucose proteins and acts as an allosteric in- hibitor that prevents the intake of glucose by the cell. A medication diffuses through the membrane of a target cell and inhibits an enzyme that normally synthesizes a second messenger.
