Cyclin-dependent kinases are a type of "microchip" protein that require multiple inputs (i.e., structural alterations) to be activated-- and thus are active only under specific conditions (as shown in the diagram below). How does limiting activity to when all conditions have been met help the cell function properly? INPUTS has this phosphate been removed? been added? has this phosphate is cyclin present?

What is the effect of having fluctuating cyclin levels throughout the cell cycle, while the levels of its corresponding cyclin dependent kinase stay relatively constant? Explain.
What do you mean by S-phase cyclindependent kinases?
Non-canonical Hedgehog signaling results in actin cytoskeleton rearrangements, leading to cellmovement and changes in cell shape. Describe how changes to the actin cytoskeleton lead to cellmovement and changes in cell shape.You do not need to draw out the signaling pathway again (#1b). Your answer should focus onthe changes to the actin cytoskeleton. Drawings will be helpful!
Cytokine receptors and tyrosine kinase receptors are similar in all of the following ways EXCEPT one. Which one is the exception? O They are both down-regulated by lysosomal degradation They both involve receptor exoplasmic domain dimerization They both result in an effector protein entering the nucleus O They both involve cytosolic domain phosphorylation

Group of answer choices RAN would not bind exportin and proteins would accumulate in the nucleus All of the answers are likely None of the answers are likely Importin beta would not release from RAN in the cytoplasm and nuclear import would slow down RAN would not bind to importin beta and protein cargo in the nucleus would not release
Why do signaling responses that involve changesin proteins already present in the cell occur in millisec-onds to seconds, whereas responses that require changesin gene expression require minutes to hours?
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) is a molecule that can act as anallosteric activator of kinase enzymes inside of the cytoplasm. Describehow CAMP molecules affect kinase enzymes?
Stathmin is phosphorylated by cyclin dependent kinases in response to extracellular signals such as growth factors. To further understand the role of phosphorylation in stathmin function, you decide to treat cells with growth factors in the presence or absence of phosphatase and observe microtubule dynamics. Based on the known function of stathmin, and phosphorylation of stathmin, how would you expect phosphatase treatment to affect microtubule dynamics? A. Decreased frequency of catastrophe in the presence of phosphatase, compared to untreated control B. Increased frequency of catastrophe in the presence of phosphatase, compared to untreated control C. Rapid microtubule polymerization in the presence of phosphatase, compared to untreated control D. Catastrophe frequency is the same in phosphatase treated and control cells
You have discovered two new inhibitors that inhibit enzymes involved in the pathway shown below. Both inhibitors are newly identified proteins. You know that one of these proteins is a noncompetitive inhibitor of the G1/S-cyclin dependent kinase (G1/S-Cdk). Another protein is a competitive inhibitor of the phosphatase (ie. a regulatory enzyme) that removes phosphates from phosphorylated Rb. mitogen activated mitogen receptor intracellular signaling pathway activated G,-Cdk and G,/S-čdk inactivated Rb protein active Rb protein inactivated transcription regulator active transcription regulator PHOSPHORYLATION OF Rb TRANSCRIPTION TRANSLATION CELL PROLIFERATION 1.

RAS is a signal transducer that acts as a switch for turning on cell division. Drag the descriptions below to their proper places on the figure to show the sequence of events. When growth factor binds to the receptor, the intracellular domain activates RAS by facilitating exchange of GDP for GTP. When no growth factor is bound to the extracellular receptor, RAS is bound to GDP and is inactive. RAS activates the first of three sequential kinase proteins termed the MAP kinase cascade. Cell proliferation proceeds as the machinery for cell division is set in motion. The end result of the MAP kinase cascade is activation of a transcription factor.

TGF-B Receptor I (RI) phosphorylation of Smad2/3 does all of the following EXCEPT: activate Smad2/3 binding to the Co-Smad Smad4 dissociate intramolecular binding of Smad2/3 MH1 and MH2 domains. RI phosphorylation of Smad2/3 does all of these things. release Smad2/3 from the nucleus into the cytoplasm unmask the Smad2/3 nuclear localization signal (NLS).
Animal cells utilize rapid increases in cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration to respond to certain extracellular signals. This requires keeping the cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration very low in the absence of signal (when the cell is “at rest”) and increasing the cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration when a signal is detected. Propose a mechanism by which the action of Ca++ transport proteins in the plasma membrane can account for the reversibility of Ca++ levels in the cytosol. Be sure to indicate whether active or passive transport is involved as well as the type of transport protein (channel or carrier) responsible.
