Document Summary

Polar ligand- it is a membrane bound receptor. If ion channel, just opens and then lets things through, that is the response. If enzyme, a lot of steps happen (ex: adenylyl cyclase) including amplification- will keep getting the response as long as ligand is bound to the receptor. Adenylyl cyclase (enzyme)- alpha binds to it, activates the adenylyl cyclase to it, turns. Atp into camp, then does the secondary messenger purpose (do all 5 responses) Special about enzymes amplification (enzyme doesn"t get used up, keeps doing it) Lingand binds to one receptor, get amplification, so get a lot of camp. 1 ligand a million products (ex: camp) Don"t need a lot of ligands to have a lot of response. This does not increase number of receptors, but number of final products and responses camp turns inactive protein kinases into active protein kinases they go on to break apart atp create new proteins.

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	a.	An intracellular receptor activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane protein to form IP₃, which then activates the opening of an ER channel protein, which releases cyclic AMP into the cytoplasm, where it binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	c.	An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	d.	A tyrosine-kinase receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which activates phospholipase C, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

QUESTION 9

If an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce GTP, what might happen to its signaling system?

		It would use ATP instead of GTP to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger.
		It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.

QUESTION 10

A hormone signal is sent from the brain to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. Why do only certain cells respond to this signal?

		Hormones do not last long enough in the bloodstream to stimulate a cellular response
		Only cells that have a specific transcription factor gene will be able to respond to the signal
		Only cells in the immediate vicinity of the cell sending the signal will respond
		Only cells that have a receptor for the specific signal will be able to respond to it

7 B) Which of the following statements regarding ion channel regulation by GPCRs is FALSE?

Activation of GPCRs in rod cells leads to increased neurotransmitter release.

The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activates a K+ channel via the G-beta/gamma subunit.

The G-alpha subunit is responsible for activation of PDE in the membrane of rod cells.

Activation of GPCRs in rod cells causes the closing of nonselective cation channels in the membrane.
