- If you have a protein kinase that is regulated by both small molecule inhibitors as well as by phosphorylation, and is part of a cooperative enzyme complex that works as part of a larger pathway involving kinase and GTPase proteins please explain where on this protein regulation could occur, how different types of inhibition could control the function of the protein as well as the function of the complex, and how the protein could regulate other proteins. (This question was previously answered but it was answered incompletely mentioning an herbicide developed in the 1950's. Apparently, it was a plagiarized excerpt from an NCBI article. This is a repost for a full and complete answer. Thank you so much for your help! :) )What is the purpose of A kinase–associated proteins (AKAPs)? Describe how AKAPs work in heart muscle cells.Mutant tyrosine kinase signaling proteins are implicated in many types of human cancer. Hundreds of millions of dollars are required for the basic research and development of a new drug. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs have been approved for cancer treatments by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. What do you think would be some of the difficulties of finding these drugs given that similar kinases are active in normal cells? Do you think new medications of this type should be developed through government-sponsored research? Why or why not? If not, what alternatives do you propose?
- Explain, in detail, how tyrosine kinase proteins are involved in one signal transduction pathway of your choice. Make sure you describe the complete pathway in which it is involved. Then, describe how you would experimentally demonstrate the requirement of a tyrosine kinase protein in your chosen pathway.Cite a metabolic pathway where active protein kinase is needed and explain its mechanism of action. Note: Explain it conscisely and preciselyIn Figure 4C, we see the inhibition of LRRK2 kinase activity by nanobody 1 (Nb1). Using the Lineweaver-Burke plot, estimate the Km of LRRK2 in the absence of Nb1. Show your work and provide your answer with the correct units.
- Kinases are enzymes responsible for transferring the terminal phosphate of ATP to the side chains of serines, threonines, and tyrosines in proteins. This is called phosphorylation. Many kinases require autophosphorylation before they can phosphorylate other targets. Discuss how phosphorylation of Ser, Thr, and Tyr changes their chemical properties and how phosphorylation of a kinase might help make it active for other substrates..Figure 9.8 HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase. In 30 percent of human breast cancers, HER2 is permanently activated, resulting in unregulated cell division. Lapatinib, a drug used to treat breast cancer, inhibits HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation (the process by which the receptor adds phosphates onto itself), thus reducing tumor growth by 50 percent. Besides autophosphorylation, which of the following steps would be inhibited by Lapatinib? Signaling molecule binding, dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. Dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. The downstream cellular response. Phosphatase activity, dimerization, and the downsteam cellular response.Identify which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.Diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3) are byproducts of enzymatic cleaving of PIP2 using phospholipase C while PIP2 formed via enzymatic activity of kinases. b.cAMP is an important second messenger because it serves to activate or inactivate proteins within the cells, especially those cells which their metabolic pathways are regulated by cAMP-dependent kinase (A-kinase). c.Second messengers are molecules that act alternative to signaling molecules to bind to the receptors by altering the structure of cellular proteins.
