Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin
of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of
the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na*
channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the
membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is
repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?
Ligand binding and response. The following question involves the ligand binding to a receptor and the receptor's response to that ligand.
What ligand concentration would be required for a full agonist with a KD of 8 nM to achieve a response of 0.75?

Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardCell signaling.
