Chapter 16, Problem 4Q
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind diarrhea caused by inhibition of GTP hydrolysis of GTP-α of cAMP-mediated chloride channels.
Introduction:
There are certain hormones; the actions of which are mediated by another set of molecules known as the second messenger. Some of the second messengers include cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), inositol-phospholipid system, and calcium ions.

Students have asked these similar questions
TLCK and TPCK both use Histadine residues in the active site as inhibitors of serine proteases. Why is TLCK specific for trypsin and TPCK is specific for chymotrypsin?
Explain why mutations of the Arg residue in Gsα that is ADPribosylated by cholera toxin are oncogenic mutations.
You have isolated a new protease that cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of Asp and Glu. Based on the enzyme's
inactivation by DIPF, you suspect that it may utilize a mechanism similar to chymotrypsin.
The difference in specificity might be explained by the
absence of the S1 binding pocket.
replacement of serine 195 with a positively charged residue.
presence of a positively charged residue in the S1 binding pocket.
presence of a negatively charged residue in the S1 binding pocket.

As a substrate, the enzyme converts ATP to cyclic AMP only when the energy sources of cells are low. cAMP mediates the synthesis of a kinase that adds a phosphate to glycogen synthase and phosphorylase. The Km value of the active site is 3.5 x 10-5M while the Km for the allosteric site is 1.7 x 10-3M.

Explain.arrow_forwardSnake venom contains many hydrolase enzymes, including several serine proteases. One such protease (present in high concentrations in snake venom) mimics the action of thrombin to activate fibrin.
