Question
Diagramming Cell Communication
Remember: SHAPE DETERMINES FUNCTION
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. It circulates around the body in the blood and binds to receptor proteins in the cell membrane of cells to "unlock" them and allow sugar to enter the cell.
In people with type 2 diabetes, the shape of the receptor protein in the cell membranes is changed due to poor diet. As a result, insulin is no longer the correct shape to bind, and sugar stays in the blood.
For this assignment, I would like you to make two hand written drawings:
- Show insulin correctly binding to a receptor protein in a normal person's cell membrane.
- Show insulin UNABLE to bind to a receptor protein in the cell membrane of a person with Type 2 diabetes. The receptor should be an INCORRECT SHAPE to match the insulin molecule.

Consider how cell signalling will proceed in a cell exposed to hormone H with each of the following homozygous mutations. НК expressed? | Суclin A cell cycle expressed? progression? cell survival compared with wild type. Mutant (# refers to the active ? mutants listed above) (same, more, less) (yes/no) (yes/no) (yes/no) (yes/no) # 4 # 5 #1 + #2 Below is a list of mutations commonly found in different components of the hormone-signaling pathways. Mutant #1: The içRuundergoes a loss-of-function mutation. Mutant #2: GSK-3B can no longer be phosphorylated. Mutant #3: ERK is constitutively active. Mutant #4: Lyn undergoes a gain-of function mutation. Mutant #5: The cyclin A gene's DNA is highly compacted and inaccessible. Mutations in the signalling pathways depicted above have been associated with an increased incidence of several types of cancer. hormone H H extracellular fluid inactive GTP inactive RAS…arrow_forwardCan you please help me with this problemarrow_forward
