Phosphorylation of nuclear lamins regulates their assembly and disassembly during mitosis. You add a drug to cells undergoing mitosis that inhibits the activity of an enzyme that dephosphorylates nuclear lamins. What do you predict will happen to these cells? Why?

You are interested in cell size regulation and discover thatsignaling through a GPCR is important in controlling cell size inrat white blood cells. The G protein downstream of this receptoractivates adenylyl cyclase, which ultimately leads to theactivation of PKA. You find that cells that lack the GPCR are 15%smaller than normal cells, whereas cells that express a mutant,constitutively activated version of PKA are 15% larger than normalcells. Furthermore, the normal blood cells become smaller whentreated with cholera toxin, which has been shown to inhibit certainsubclasses of the Î± subunit of the G protein. Given these results,explain what you predict would happen to the cel's size (bigger,smaller, or no change) if cells were treated in the followingfashion.
