In the above signalling diagram, hormone H binds to both an intracellular and a cell surface receptor. Initially you assume that hormone H must therefore be a small hydrophobic molecule. However, further analysis revealed that it is a large hydrophilic molecule. Knowing this, what would you need to add to this diagram to accurately reflect how these signalling events are possible and why?

Info:
In many mammalian species, including humans, there is a hormone (H) that acts as a key regulator of
hexose (6 carbon sugar, eg - glucose) metabolism, cell cycle progression, and ultimately cell survival.
Hormone H regulates these effects via its receptors which are found at both the cell surface (csRu)
and within the cell (icRu). The signalling pathways that become activated in the presence of hormone
H are depicted and described below.

Signalling via the cell surface
receptor
· Hormone H mediates its cell cycle
stimulatory and pro-survival effects by
binding to and activating the cell
surface hormone H receptor ( .
· The activated csRH activates Lyn,
which activates RAS and ultimately
the Raf/MEK/ERK kinase cascade.
· Active ERK:
o phosphorylates and inactivates
GSK-3B. Inhibition of GSK-3B
promotes cell survival.
o inhibits p27, preventing it from
inhibiting cell cycle progression.
o activates Egs, a transcription factor
which promotes cell cycle
progression by triggering Cyclin A

Signalling via the intracellular receptor
Hormone H also binds to and activates the intracellular hormone H receptor (icRu).
The activated icRu translocates to the nucleus where it acts as a transcription factor binding
to a specific sequence called a hormone H response element (HRE) found within promoters
on the DNA.
icRu - HRE binding upregulates the transcription of the hexose kinase gene, which is
required for hexose metabolism and ultimately cell survival.
Below is a list of mutations commonly found in different components of the hormone-signaling
pathways.
Mutant #1: The icRuundergoes a loss-of-function mutation.
Mutant #2: GSK-3B can no longer be phosphorylated.
Mutant #3: ERK is constitutively active.
Mutant #4: Lyn undergoes a gain-of function mutation.
Mutant #5: The cyclin A gene's DNA is highly compacted and inaccessible
Mutations in the signalling pathways depicted above have been associated with an increased
incidence of several types of cancer.
