Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 12RQ
Histamine binds to the H1 G-protein-linked receptor to initiate the itchiness and airway constriction associated with an allergic response. If a mutation in the associated G-protein’s alpha subunit prevented the hydrolysis of GTP how would the allergic response change?
- More severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling.
- Less severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling.
- No allergic response.
- No change compared to normal G-protein signaling.

The figure below shows a signaling pathway activated by the binding of adrenaline to
the beta-adrenergic receptor.
Binding of adrenaline to the receptor causes GTP-binding and activation of G
proteins. Active GTP-boundG protein activates adenylate cyclase to initiate a
signaling cascade that affects cellular responses, and includes cellular changes to
mediate increased heart rate and accounts for the flight-or-fight response.
