- The G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) pathway elicits diverse intracellular responses in different cells. The basic steps of GPCR signaling are outlined in this diagram. Which of the following statements correctly describes the process of GPCR signaling? The GPCR activation is reversible after the signal of the ligand diminishes. The membrane-embedded enzyme uses GTP as a secondary messenger to initiate gene expression. The ligand attaches to both the GPCR and the membrane-embedded enzyme to activate the GPCR pathway. The ligand-bound GPCR sends a GTP molecule to an enzyme in the membrane and switches it into an active state.Signaling activity of G proteins is controlled by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and Guanine exchange factors (GEFs). What are the mechanisms by which GAPS and GEFs control G protein functions? GEFS inhibit G protein functions by stimulating GTP hydrolysis; GAPs activate G protein functions by stimulating GDP-GTP exchange. O GAPS inhibit G protein functions by stimulating GTP hydrolysis; GEFs activate G protein functions by stimulating GDP-GTP exchange. GEFS inhibit G protein functions by stimulating GTP hydrolysis; GAPS activate G protein functions by inhibiting GDP-GTP exchange. GAPs stimulate G protein functions by blocking GTP hydrolysis; GEFS inhibit G protein functions by stimulating GTP-GDP exchange. GAPS inhibit G protein functions by stimulating GDP-GTP exchange; GEFS activate G protein functions by stimulating GTP hydrolysisGTP-binding proteins play critical roles in many signal transductions through G proteins. Describe two examples in which G proteins act and compare the role of the G proteins in each case.
- Many cellular processes require the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. However, unlike ATP, GTP hydrolysis is often not used as an energy source for the cell, but rather, is associated with a group of enzymes called GTPases. Which of the following statements about GTP and GTPases is correct? 1. GTPase activating protein (GAP) binds to GTPase when it is in the active state. 2. The exchange factor GEF binds GTP directly and delivers it to the GTPase. 3. The "switching" behaviour of GTPase is because GTP hydrolysis causes the enzyme to change shape. 4. Structural differences in the terminal phosphate group explains why ATP hydrolysis releases energy and GTP does not. O 1,2 and 3 O 1 and 3 O 2 and 4 O 4 only O All of 1,2.3 and 4 are correctAn SH2-containing protein contains a mutation that changes its binding pocket such that tyrosine and phosphotyrosine bind with equal affinity. As a result, MEK activity: does not change with receptor dimerization and transautophosphorylation decreases due to changes in Raf activation increases with ligand binding-induced dimerization decreases due to allosteric inhibition of SH2-domain bindingWhen you think about the primary structure of the mannose-6-P receptor, assuming that it is an integral membrane protein with one membrane-spanning domain and assuming that it has a ERSS, what are all of the different protein domains that must be present in this protein's primary structure to get it to where it needs to go and to carry out all of the functions/activities? (Draw a schematic of the protein structure/sequence and explain each region). What do you think would happen to a soluble protein that normally contains a KDEL tag (ER retrieval) if the tag was cleaved off (where would the protein end up)?
- Receptor tyrosine kinases such as the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor can basically be broken down into three domains: (1) An extracellular, ligand binding domain, (2) A transmembrane domain that must cross through the cell membrane, and (3) an intracellular domain. Match the amino acid with the domain that it would MOST LIKELY be associated with. Lysine (choose (1), (2), or (3) from above) A tyrosine residue capable of being phosphorylated on its hydroxyl group (choose (1), (2), or (3) from above) Isoleucine (choose (1), (2), or (3) from above)GTP is an important high-energy molecule that facilitates the activation of many cellular sig- nal transduction pathways. Certain genetic dysfunctions can inhibit the ability of a cell to synthesize GTP. Which of the following describes the most direct result of GTP synthesis inhibition? A B с D The cell would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to produce the cellular response in the relevant signal transduction pathway. The G protein-coupled receptor will not be able to bind corresponding ligands, inhibiting the reception components of the relevant signal transduction pathway. The cell will use ATP instead of GTP to activate the G protein on the intracellular region of the G protein-coupled receptor. The cell would not be able to activate G proteins on the intracellular regions of G pro- tein-coupled receptors.What is meant by intrinsic GTPase activity? Exchange of GDP for GTP on the a-subunit of the G protein Inhibition of GBCR receptor activity Activation of Adenylyl Cyclades Breakdown of cAMP by phosphodiesterase Spontaneous hydrolysis of GTP on the a-subunit of the G-protein
