If an animal cell suddenly loses the ability to produce GTP, what will most likely happen to its signaling system? OIt will not be able to activate G proteins on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. OIt will be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal. O It will use ATP instead of GTP to activate G proteins on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. O It will not be able to activate receptor tyrosine kinases.

You learned in this chapter that Na+/K+ active transport pumps in the plasma membrane of the axons are responsible for creating the imbalance between Na+ and K+ inside and outside of the neuron that produces the resting membrane potential. In early research studying the role of ions and the involvement of active transport of ions in neural signaling, investigators used the giant axon of a squid as a model. The diameter of a giant axon is far greater than that of a mammalian axon, which enabled researchers to isolate it easily and use it in in vitro experiments. In one early experiment, researchers investigated the active transport of Na+ out of the axon in response to the presence of cyanide. Experimentally they hooked up a section of axon to a syringe, immersed the axon in artificial seawater, introduced radioactive 22Na (as 22NaCl) into the axon, and then quantified the transport of 22Na out through the axons plasma membrane. The rate of 22Na transport out of the axon was determined by measuring the radioactivity released into the fluid sur- rounding the axon over a period of time. The Figure shows the results of the experiment. What is the effect of cyanide on Na1 transport out of the squid axon? How do the data show the effect? Source: P. C. Caldwell et al. 1960.

The epinephrine signaling pathway plays a role in regulating glucose homeostasis in muscle cells. The signaling pathway is activated by the binding of epinephrine to the beta-2 adrenergic receptor. A simplified model of the epinephrine signaling pathway is represented in Figure 1.

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+
Of the steps listed below, which problem would take you the longest to realize you had a problem in your RTK (ie the highest number of earlier steps could still occur)?

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.
