Why do steroids take relatively long to generate change after they bind to intracellular receptors? O The intracellular receptors have very slow kinetics. The bound receptors affect gene transcription rates. O The steroid receptor complex activates signal transduction pathways. O The steroid receptor complex must then exit the cell to exert its effects.

You perform a competition study on a GPCR. You have isolated the plasma membrane from cells which contains the GPCR of interest. If an agonist and an inverse agonist are at equal concentrations in your study but the inverse agonist has a 10 x higher affinity for the receptor than the agonist, what would you expect to be the overall outcome to be? More of the agonist is bound and so most of the receptor is in its active conformation and is stimulated More of the inverse agonist is bound and so most of the receptor is in its inactive conformation and is unstimulated.
D Question 18 Which of the following statements describes the signal amplification that results from activation of the G-protein coupled receptor? Fragmentation of the G-protein leads to an increase in entropy O The binding of a ligand to the receptor increases the chances of the receptor binding a G-protein The binding of a G-protein to the receptor increases the chances of it exchanging GDP for GTP O The ligand is bound to the receptor sufficiently long such that the receptor can fragment several G-proteins
O Copy of Pathway divergence occurs when: O signaling pathways produce the same outcome one signaling pathway triggers another Osignaling pathways split to produce multiple outcomes. Osignaling pathways use a common intermediate Question 14 Which of the following is NOT a mechanism for halting G-protein coupled receptor signaling? receptor endocytosis. OGDP hydrolysis Arrestins 2. O ATP hydrolysis
When growth hormone binds to an enzyme-linked receptor, (a) G proteins are amplified into a cascade of molecules (b) the enzyme portion of the receptor becomes dephosphorylated (c) the receptor becomes activated and phosphorylates signaling proteins in the cell (d) an ion channel is opened (e) an immediate signal is sent into the nucleus, and specific genes are activated or inhibited
Calcium ions (a) can act as second messengers (b) split calmodulin (c) are kept at higher concentration in the cytosol than in the extracellular fluid (d) are produced in the ER by protein kinases and protein phosphatases (e) typically terminate signaling cascades
In signal transduction, which of the following is not a target protein? a. proteins that regulate gene activity b. hormones that activate the receptor c. enzymes of pathways d. transport proteins e. enzymes of cell reactions
Histamine binds to the H1 G-protein-linked receptor to initiate the itchiness and airway constriction associated with an allergic response. If a mutation in the associated G-protein’s alpha subunit prevented the hydrolysis of GTP how would the allergic response change? More severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. Less severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. No allergic response. No change compared to normal G-protein signaling.
Which of the following describes the way in which phosphorylation cascades can improve signal transduction efficiency in a signal transduction pathway? A B с D They facilitate the amplification of the initial signal. They counter the effects of protein phosphatases. They ensure the production of the correct cellular response. They decrease the speed of signal transduction in the pathway.

In the hypothetical signaling pathway shown below, the hormone 'square' binds to its high-affinity receptor, which activates a protein 'X,' which diffuses to and activates the enzyme 'Q synthase'. When active, Q synthase catalyzes the conversion of 'P' to 'Q.' 'Q' then diffuses to the enzyme 'C kinase', which catalyzes the phosphorylation of 'C'. Phosphorylated 'C' then diffuses to and binds to the Ca* channels in an organelle membrane, which causes them to open and release Ca, which then triggers the cellular response. The second messenger in this pathway is Square Q synthase C kinase AGBO +. ARP Ca2+
