What are the three main parts of a signaling pathway? Give a detailed specific example, such as how epinephrine signals for rapid digestion of glycogen in liver cells.
Epinephrine stimulates glycogen breakdown by activating glycogen phosphorylase. However, in the research lab, no glycogen breakdown occurred when epinephrine was added to a test tube containing the enzyme and its substrate, glycogen.
Explain why glycogen phosphorylase could be activated by epinephrine only when the hormone was added to intact cells in a solution.
(a) Predict the effect of a mutation that enhances the activity of the kinase associated with the PDH complex. (b) Predict the effect of a mutation that reduces the activity of the phosphatase associated with the PDH complex.

- When adrenaline (epinephrine) binds to adrenergic receptors on the surface of a muscle cell, it activates a G protein, initiating a signaling pathway that results in the breakdown of muscle glycogen. How would you expect glycogen breakdown to be affected if muscle cells were injected with a nonhydrolyzable analog of GTP, that can’t be converted to GDP? Consider what would happen in the absence of adrenaline and after a brief exposure to it.arrow_forwardThe epinephrine-mediated “amplificationcascade” of Figure 24.14 has six steps, all of which are catalyticwith one exception. This cascade leads to the activation of glycogenphosphorylase. This enzyme acts in turn on glycogen to yieldglucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P).(a) Which step is not catalytic?(b) If each catalytic step had a turnover (molecules of substrateacted on per molecule of enzyme) of 10, how many moleculesof G-1-P would result from one molecule of epinephrine?(c) What is the biochemical advantage of such a cascade?(d) How is the amplification cascade of this questionreversed?arrow_forwardWhat class of enzyme catalyzes each of the two steps that convert tryptophan to serotonin?arrow_forward

How does the mutation affect the cell’s response to insulin? Can additional insulin (e.g., from injections) overcome the defect?arrow_forwardIn the case of GPCR (G protein coupled receptor) signaling pathways, which of the following statements is INCORRECT? The gamma subunit of the trimeric G protein has a transmembrane domain whereas the alpha and beta subunits are peripheral proteins If G alpha was locked in a GTP bound state, it would be bound to the effector enzyme rather than to the beta and gamma subunits. In some but not all signaling pathways, when the beta and gamma subunits are separated from alpha - the beta/gamma pair can also stimulate the activation of effectorsarrow_forward
