trast the activation of cytokine receptors to the activation of receptor threonine kinases. b. We discovered a new cytokine that stimulates cancer cell growth. Now we want to determine if the JAK/STAT pathway is activated after stimulation. In the lab we have a small molecule that can competitively bind to SH2 domains. Explain where and how in the pathway this inhibitor would be effective.

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.

The hypothesis for the experiment shown in the picture is that the TamC3 and TamR3 cell lines function, and grow the absence of estrogen, receptor function. Reduced reliance on estrogen, receptor signaling alters mTOR pathway activity. If this hypothesis is true, then mediators of mTOR signaling (Akt or p70S6K) should have reduced levels of phosphorylation . A. Where would you look to see this? B. To what degree does the data in the picture support the hypothesis?
Researchers have found that a certain signal transduction pathway, illustrated in the figure below, may be responsible for the development of cancer in pancreatic cells. In normal pancreatic cells, where the pathway remains inactive, a membrane-bound receptor called Ptc inhibits a downstream protein known as Smo. The inhibition of Smo blocks the activa- tion of a complex of proteins known as the HSC, which results in the cleaving of one of its proteins called Ci. The cleaving of Ci, in turn, prevents the pathway from initiating the syn- thesis of division-facilitating enzymes. A Ptc B Smo с inhibition D A model of a Ptc signal transduction pathway under normal conditions. HSC Ci cleavage A certain protein called the Hedgehog protein (Hh) is found to activate this signal transduction pathway and trigger uninterruptable cell division. cell division not initiated Which of the following describes the most plausible mechanism by which Hh triggers uninterruptable cell division? Hh binds to…
