Document Summary

Protein that adds a phosphate group to another protein or to itself, usually activating it. Hormone binds to two rtk subunits and they form a dimer. Protein builds a bridge between rtk and the ras protein, activating ras. Triggers a phosphorylation cascade of protein kinases. Activation of receptor is coupled with activation of g protein. When a g protein is bound to gtp, it is active. When it"s bound to gdp, it is inactive. Stimulates heart muscle cells to beat faster. Results when sugar (glucose) gets trapped in the blood instead of being taken up by cells and stored or used for energy. Insulin is a ligand because it binds to a receptor (insulin receptor) When someone has diabetes, insulin does not bind to the receptor and therefore cannot be transported/enter the cell. Process by which a single cell becomes two daughter cells. Dividing the cytoplasm to create two complete cells (cytokinesis) Mitosis: produces somatic cells (everything by gametes)

	a.	Phosphorylation of the RTK
	b.	Cytoplasmic proteins bind the phosphorylated RTK
	c.	Dimerization of the RTK
	d.	The RTK binds to DNA to regulate transcription

2 points

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.

		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.

2 points

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
