6. Explain why the RTK signaling pathway includes the extra complication of having a protein (Ras)
that switches between GTP- and GDP-bound states.
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- 5. Explain the signaling steps that take place after the EGF receptor is dimerized, up to the poiunt when Ras gets activated. Draw a schematic to make it easier for your classmates to understand.6. Explain why the RTK signaling pathway includes the extra complication of having a protein (Ras) that switches between GTP- and GDP-bound states. PLEASE ANDWER BOTH6) The functioning of the "Ras/MAPK" signal transduction pathway is absolutely essential in order for cells to grow, divide, and migrate. One important protein that is part of this pathway is BRAF. This protein is a kind of enzyme called a "kinase" – an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group onto another protein. - In some melanomas, a mutated form of BRAF called BRAF Val600AGlu drives the progression of the cancer. The drug “vemurafenib" slows the progression of the cancer by slowing the production of the mutant BRAF protein. (National Cancer Institute. 2019. Types of Cancer Treatment.

Briefly explain your reasoning in the space provided, using information provided in the text to support your answer. Type of therapy (traditional or targeted)?: Brief explanation: 191. Which of the following signaling events is NOT engaged downstream of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma activation? a. Calcium ion (Ca2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) b. Heterodimerization of the subunits c-Fos and c-Jun to form the transcription factor AP-1 c. IkappaB degradation and resulting translocation of NFkappaB into the nucleus d. Recruitment of protein kinase C (PKC)-theta to the plasma membrane e. PIP3 generation at the plasma membrane which recruits and activates Akt, leading to cytoskeletal remodeling

Explain how scaffold proteins help the efficiency of the AMP kinase cascade. Why is it important that the interaction of the scaffold with the MAP kinases is NOT a very stable interaction?1.Describe in detail the signal transduction pathway that leads to activation of either PKA, Kinase or PC. 2. Describe in detail the signal transduction pathway that leads to activation of MAPKinase or Akt/PKB. 3.Describe the similarities and differences in the structures of GPCRs specific for various ligands including the extracellular , transmembrane , and intracellular domains.
- 1A.If transcription factor G is downstream of EGFR and upregulates gene H, what happens to H if Grb2 has an ER signal sequence? 1B. If transcription factor A is phosphorylated by Akt and upregulates gene B, what happens to gene B if a PI3K inhibitor is added? Choices are: A. No expression of the gene B. Upregulation even in the absence of stimulation/ EGF C. Upregulation but only in the presence of cytokine/ EGF1. Based on the following description, draw the cell signaling pathway described (you only need to draw the pathway in one cell, but show the type of signaling described – you may need 2 diagrams). Compound X is released from cells in the pancreas and activates cells in the liver. What general type of cell signaling is this? When compound X binds its receptor on a liver cell, some of the amino acids (Y – one letter amino acid code) on the cytoplasmic side of the receptor are phosphorylated. Label what type of receptor this is. This leads to the receptor activating a cytoplasmic protein F which then activates a kinase K which then activates protein Z (diagram what is happening here – how is protein Z activated). Protein Z activation results in several genes being expressed. Label all your parts (don’t forget to label the ligand). Circle the signal transduction pathway and put a box around the cell response.1. The following image shows a mechanism in which gene expression activity is regulated by ligand. Arg RS-2 Teu Met RBS Ligand RBS hidden a. What is this kind of regulatory machnism called? b. Does it involve transcription or translation? c. What happens in the presence of the ligand? d. What happens in the absence of theligand? e. What do you think the genes that are regulated here - metabolic (breakdown) or anabolic (buildup) for the ligand? Explain
- 3) The “Met" receptor is a membrane receptor protein responsible for initiating signal transduction pathways that cause cells to divide, among other things. After the Met receptor has been stimulated by its specific growth factor, another protein called c- Cbl will bind to the Met receptor. C-Cbl will then attach a chain of small proteins called ubiquitin to the Met receptor. These chains of ubiquitin help the cell recognize that the Met receptor should undergo receptor-mediated endocytosis, which eventually leads to the destruction of the Met receptor. Circle any answer or answers that include mutations that could cause the cell to potentially become a cancer cell. A) a mutation causing there to be too much ubiquitin protein produced. B) a mutation causing c-Cbl to be inactivated. C) a mutation causing ubiquitin to be inactivated. D) a mutation causing there to be too few Met receptors produced. E) a mutation causing the Met receptor to no longer be able to bind to its growth factor.…14)How does a compound that inhibits the GTPase activity of ras affect cell responses to growth factors? It would increase proliferation. It would increase glucose production. It would decrease glucose production. It would decrease proliferation.8. Describe the MAP kinase activation pathway
