Quiz Subrissions - Quiz 6: signalling - BIOLOGY 2803: CELL BIOLOGY FALL 2013 - McMaster Unirasity

Release of calcium ions from cell membranes

Stimulation of apoptosis

Question4

l/lpoint

Receptor tyrosine kinases are so called because...

They autophosphorylate on threonine in response to ligand binding.

They contain SH2 domains that bind to phosphorylated tyrosines.

They are phosphorylated by G-proteins in response to ligand binding.

Question 5

1 point

A cell secretes growth factors that have a slow diffusion rate, and interacting only with other cells in the
immediate area is an example of
signaling.
exocrrne

synaptic

cell contact

Question6

l/tpoint

Sending a signal through the cell membrane can lead to the production of second messengers inside the cell.
Which of the following can serve as second messengers?
cAMF

Ca++

IP3
NO (nitric oxide)

all of the above

QuestionT

l/lpoint

Which of the following statements about G protein coupled receptors is true.

Quiz Suhrissims - Quiz 6: sig nalling - BIOLOGY 2803: CELL BIOLOGY FALL 2013 - McMaster Unirersity

GPCRs have intrinsic kinase activity and autophosphorylate in response

to ligand binding,

GPCRs are found only in animal cells, they have not been found in plant cells.

GPCRs include the receptors in the eye that respond

to light signals.

GPCRs act through the second messenger GTP.

QuestionS

l/lpoint

Some receptors for growth factors activate a protein kinase cascade, with the participation of multiple enzymes
to effecta change in gene expression. Which of the following statements abouta protein kinase cascade are
true?
Multiple steps allow the amplification of the signal.
External signals can lead to changes in gene expression.
Multiple steps leading to kinase activations can result in cells having different responses, depending
on the presence or absence of target proteins.

Multiple steps in an activation mean that abnormal stimulation of a cell response such as growth can
occur with mutations in more than one gene.
All of the above are true.

Question9

l/lpoint

The endogenous GTPase activity of G-proteins serves to:

synthesize GTP as an energy source.
synthesize cGMP as a second messenger.
stimulate the activity of enzymes by producing energy.
hydrolyze GTP returning the G protein to a pre-stimulated level of activity.

Questionl0

O/lpoint

In a fight-or-flight response, epinephrine released by the adrenal glands binds to a membrane receptor on
muscle cells. Which of the following events result from ligand binding?

;r{

G-protein is activated by binding GTP and causing adenylyl cyclase to produce cAMP.
The second messenger, cAMP, activates protein kinase A which inhibits glycogen synthetase blocking
glycogen synthesis.
Protein kinase A activates phosphorylase kinase, which transfers a phosphate that activates glycogen

phosphorylase. This leads to the breakdown of glycogen and the production of glucose-l-phosphate.
Glucose produced from glucose-l-P stimulates glycolysis, produclng energy for muscle contraction.
