Chapter 6, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way yeast controls the events through a complex signaling cascade that is induced by binding of a hormone to a G protein-linked receptor.
Concept introduction: Cells communicate with each other by a process known as cell signaling. It is important for an organism to receive and respond to the stimulus. There are four sequences of events that take place in cell signaling. They are signal transmission, reception, signal transduction, and response. A ligand binds with a cell receptor and undergoes receptor‑ligand alterations and initiates a specific response.

Put the following steps for the outline of the growth factor signaling pathway in order:
Map Kinase Kinase is Phosphorylated
Proteins involved in gene transcription are activated
Growth factor binds to its receptor in the cytoplasmic membrane
Receptor recruits adaptor protein and GEF
Autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues on the receptor
Structural change of the receptor activates Tyrosine Kinase
Map Kinase Kinase Kinase is phosphorylated
Ras, a small GTPase, is activated by the exchange of GTP for GDP

- The G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) pathway elicits diverse intracellular responses in different cells. The basic steps of GPCR signaling are outlined in this diagram. Which of the following statements correctly describes the process of GPCR signaling? The GPCR activation is reversible after the signal of the ligand diminishes. The membrane-embedded enzyme uses GTP as a secondary messenger to initiate gene expression. The ligand attaches to both the GPCR and the membrane-embedded enzyme to activate the GPCR pathway. The ligand-bound GPCR sends a GTP molecule to an enzyme in the membrane and switches it into an active state.arrow_forwardHormone H regulates these effects via its receptors which are found at both the cell surface (csRH) and within the cell (içRH).

- You are studying the role of CAMP in cell signaling. You hypothesize that 2 intracellular signaling proteins, named GO and TIGERS, interact with each other when cells are treated with an extracellular source of CAMP. The two proteins were tagged with CFP or YFP (CFP = cyan fluorescent protein; YFP = yellow fluorescent protein). CFP is excited by 435 nm light and emits lights at 480 nm.

- Steroid hormones are required by the body at puberty and into adolescence to regulate growth and cell division at more rapid pace than in later life. This regulation occurs via their interaction with cellular receptors and the signaling cascades/pathways that follow. Describe for me the difference between the two major classes of steroids, anabolic and catabolic steroids. What might you expect the result of signaling cascades to be in cells receiving either anabolic or catabolic “signals”? (B) At some point in late adolescence, steroid production decreases by almost 100 fold, as we transition into “adulthood”. Why might we wish to stop these signals from constantly being in our blood stream, (like, Say, between 17-24 years of age)? What result might these steroids have on cancer cells where abhorrent signaling is already causing an increased rate of cell division/growth? Could steroid use result in Cancer?arrow_forwardWhy do we need to identify and determine the function of every single molecule involved in cell signalling? Provide one concrete example of an application of an elucidated cascade of events in cell signalling. (The answer should be no less than 300 words)arrow_forwardRTKs are receptors made of an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular kinase domain (see image). Insulin binds to its RTK Insulin receptor, causing an increase in glucose absorption and storage in liver cells. EGF binds to its own RTK, EGFR and promotes cell growth through the Ras pathway. a) Explain why the same type of tyrosine kinase in two RTKs can lead to very different cellular responses. Give an example of potential cellular outputs for each of these two RTKs.arrow_forward
