The binding of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) to the PDGF receptor stimulates phosphorylation of 8 tyrosines in the receptor's cytoplasmic domain. The enzyme phosphatidylinositol 3'kinase (PI 3-kinase) binds to one or more of the phophotyrosines through its SH2 domains and is thereby activated. To identify the activation phosphotyrosines, you synthesize 8 pentapetides that contain the critical tyrosines (at the N-terninus) in their phosphorylated or unphosphorylated forms. You then mix an excess of each of the various pentapeptides with phosphorylated PDGF receptor and PI 3-kinase. Immunoprecipitation of the PDGF receptor will bring down any bound PI 3-kinase, which can be assayed by its ability to add 32P-phosphate to its substrate.

A) Draw a flow diagram showing how this assay works.

B) Do your results support the notion that PI-kinase binds to phosphotyrosines in the activated PDGF receptor? Why or why not?

C) THe amino acid sequences of the PDGF receptor pentapeptide tested above (number accodingly to the position of tyrosine in the PDGF receptor) and peptide segments that are known to bind to PI 3-kinase in other activated receptors are shown below. Which amino acid residues are most important and why?

1. How does sexual reproduction compare to DNA transfers inprokaryotes?
I. Both increase genetic diversity.
II. Sexual reproduction results in greater evolutionarychange.
III. DNA transfer in prokaryotes allows for fewer errors andmutations.

a. I only

b. I and II

c. I and III

d. I, II, and III

2. What type of receptor is described in the followingparagraph?

Binding of a signaling molecule to this type of receptor uses anenzyme to remove a phosphate group from an ATP molecule to activateanother receptor. The activated receptor can be recognized by relayproteins inside the cell, which bind to the receptor and changeshape. These activated proteins then trigger a transduction pathwaythat leads to some sort of cellular response.

a. intracellular receptor

b. ligand-gated ion channel

c. g protein-coupled receptor

d. receptor tyrosine kinase

3. Yeast cells, plant cells, and mammal cells all share manysimilarities in cell signaling. This provides evidence that

a. cell-signaling mechanisms are only found in organisms that usemethods of sexual reproduction

b. intercellular communication evolved as a way for multicellularorganisms to coordinate cell functions

c. eukaryotic cells use signal transduction pathways whileprokaryotic cells use a more primitive form of signaling

d. signal transduction pathways appeared in cells before theevolution of multicellular organisms
