1A. If Creb upregulates gene T with acetylcholine stimulation, what happens to T when cAMP phosphodiesterase is always active compared to normal? 1B. If Creb normally upregulates expression of gene Y with adrenaline stimulation, what happens to gene Y if PKA has a nonfunctional NLS compared to normal signaling? Choices are: A. Stays the same B. Decreased expression C. Increased expression

xytocin stimulates contraction of smooth muscles in the breast and uterine wall. The key step in muscle contraction is release of calcium from internal cell stores. With which type of receptor does oxytocin interact to cause muscle contraction? A. Gαi-coupled receptor B. Tyrosine kinase coupled receptor C. Cytokine type 1 receptor D. Ser/Thr kinase receptor E. Gαq-coupled receptor
Binding EGF to the EGF receptor causes phosphorylation of tyrosines on the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which this phosphorylation activates downstream signaling complexes? Select one A. Causes degradation of receptor by proteasome pathway B. Causes EGF receptor to be internalized so it can interact directly with downstream signaling molecules C. Tyrosine phosphorylation alters 3D structure of downstream signaling proteins causing them to change from an inactive to active conformation D. Causes release of EGF from receptor E. Alters the localization of downstream signaling partners in the cytoplasm
Aberrant signaling through the EGF receptor signal transduction pathway drives many forms of breast cancer, while misregulation of PI3K drives many prostate cancers. PI3K is one of MANY downstream effectors of EGF receptor signaling, and there are several known activating mutations of PI3K. Would a small molecule that targets PI3K be an effective treatment for a breast cancer that is driven by aberrant signaling through the EGF receptor? Briefly explain your choice. (THIS CAN BE DONE IN LESS THAN TWO SENTENCES, AND MINIMALLY IN ABOUT EIGHT WORDS.)
Binding of a ligand (like TGFA) to a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) causes all of the following except (can use cell): OA. Dimerization of the receptor B. Auto-phosphorylation of the receptor O C. Activation of Ras through an interction with GRB2 (an adaptor) and SOS (a GEF) proteins. O D. Activation of heterotrimeric G proteins
Consider this pathway: epinephrine --> receptor -->G-protein---> Adenyl Cyclase---> cAMP --> protein kinase --> transcription factors. Identify the effector. A. cAMP B. G protein-coupled receptor C. epinephrine D. adenyl cyclase Which statement is not true about G proteins? A. They are integral membrane proteins. B. They are slowly inactivated by their own GTPase activity. C. They are multisubunit proteins consisting of α, β and γ subunits. D. They act as transducers for hormones
Which of the following statements regarding signaling in normal cells and cancer cells is false? a. In normal cells, RTK transphosphorylation is strictly dependent on ligand binding. Ligand binding promotes a conformational change in the RTKS that is required for dimerization, and dimerization is required for transphosphorylation. b. Cancers cells that over-express RTK's can respond to tiny amounts of ligand, and in some instances signaling can be ligand-independent. c. Cancer cells that have established several autocrine signaling loops have a poor prognosis, because these cells have enabled multiple independent mitogenic signal transduction pathways. 4 d. The extracellular ectodomains of all RTKS are highly conserved in primary sequence and structure. e. RTKS have a hydrophilic extracellular ectodomain, and hydrophobic transmembrane domain, and a hydrophilic cytoplasmic domain, which contains the catalytic portion of the protein.
2) Indicate by writing “yes” or “no” whether amplification of a signal could occur at the particular steps described below. Explain your answers. A. B. C. D. E. An extracellular signaling molecule binds and activates a GPCR. The activated GPCRs cause Ga to separate from GB and Gy. Adenylyl cyclase produces cyclic AMP. CAMP activates protein kinase A. Protein kinase A phosphorylates target proteins.
Activation of certain GPCRs triggers an intracellular signaling mechanism that involves activation of adenlyl cyclase and an increase of cAMP. Which of the following statements best describes the the events that follow such a cAMP increase? a.) The cAMP increase leads to activation of protein kinase C. b.) The cAMP increase leads to activation of the release of the gamma subunit from the GPCR. c.) The cAMP increase leads to activation of protein kinase A.

You are studying the role of CAMP in cell signaling. You hypothesize that 2 intracellular signaling proteins, named GO and TIGERS, interact with each other when cells are treated with an extracellular source of CAMP. The two proteins were tagged with CFP or YFP (CFP = cyan fluorescent protein; YFP = yellow fluorescent protein). CFP is excited by 435 nm light and emits lights at 480 nm. YFP is excited by 480 nm light and emits light at 535 nm. 400 500 Wavelength of Emitted Light 400 500 Wavelength of Emitted Light 600 600 Fluorescence 400 400 500 Wavelength of Emitted Light 600 500 Wavelength of Emitted Light 600 Fluorescence Intensity 400 500 Wavelength of Emitted Light 600 Figure Legend.
