Someone goes for a jog first thing in the morning and encounters a squadron of javelinas, causing a release of epinephrine. Some of this circulating epinephrine binds to a G-alpha-s coupled receptor (GPCR) on the surface of muscle cells. Which of the following would occur in the muscle cell as a result of this activation? Nitric oxide synthesis would increase. cyclic AMP (cAMP) activity would increase. Phospholipase C (PLC) would hydrolyze (cut) the molecule PIP2. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. Which ligand is CORRECTLY matched with its characteristic? Group of answer choices Glucagon: stimulates the activation of the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway Nitric oxide (NO): must bind to its target protien withn a few seconds because NO degrades rapidly Steroid hormone: produces a response in its target cells within seconds Acetylcholine: hydrophobic molecule that binds to an intracellular receptor.

Overexpression of this receptor in the cells of the adrenal gland causes Cushing's syndrome, a disease caused by the overproduction of cortisol. One strategy that scientists have employed to treat this disease is the use of small molecules that bind to, but do not activate, MC2R. This type of molecule is generically referred to as an antagonist. How can an antagonist bind to the same receptor as ACTH but not activate it? O a. The antagonist can bind covalently while ACTH binds non-covalently O b. The antagonist is only partially complimentary to the binding pocket of MC2R O The antagonist binds to ACTH and blocks it from binding to the receptor properly O d. The antagonist is the exact same structure as ACTH but since it is synthetic it doesn't work One cause of Cushing's syndrome is the inappropriate production of GPCRS in the adrenal gland that are not normally present in those cells. When these receptors are activated they result in the production of cortisol. Which statement about…
When the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the acetylcholine receptor (a GPCR) on muscle cells, it causes them to contract. ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation. How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?
Trace the sequence of events in signal transduction for each of the following second messengers: cyclic AMP, inositol trisphosphate (IP3 ), diacylglycerol (DAG), and calcium ions.
The neuotransmitter acetylcholine is released from presynaptic neurons in response to a nerve impulse and diffuses across the synaptic cleft or neuromuscular junction to a receptor on another neuron or a muscle cell. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a pentamer containing four types of subunits, α2βγδ. Place the following in the correct order, from the release of acetylcholine from a neuron to receptor resensitization.
A patient has been exposed to the organophosphate pesticide malathion,which inactivates acetylcholinesterase. Which of the following symptoms would you predict: blurring of vision, excess tear formation, frequent or involuntary urination, pallor (pale skin), muscle twitching, orcramps? Would atropine be an effective drug to treat the symptoms?(See Clinical Impact 16.2 for the action of atropine.) Explain.
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Because too much glutamate can cause excess Ca+2/Na+2 influx and excitatory in post-synaptic cells, the balance between excitation and inhibition must be tightly regulated. Calling upon only mechanisms that are directly part of the glutamate life cycle, describe two ways that you could experimentally limit or prevent glutamate excitotoxicity.
All the B - adrenergic receptors are linked with Gs G-protein. Physiological processes mediated by the intracellular second messenger cyclic AMP include: YOU CAN CHOOSE MORE THAN ONE A.carbohydrate breakdown by the liver (glycogenolysis) B.increased contractility (e.g. increased cardiac contractility) C.smooth muscle relaxation (e.g. bronchodilation or vasodilation) D.Triglyceride breakdown (lipolysis)
Organophosphate poisoning is a result of excess acetylcholine at different nerves and receptors in the body because acetylcholinesterase is blocked. Please provide rational to explain how the binding of organophosphate with serine in the acetylcholinesterase enzyme leads to excess accumulation of acetylcholine.
Glycogen breakdown is stimulated by a signaling cascade that is an excellent example of signal amplification. Amplification in glycogen breakdown is where a small number of signal molecules (hormones) activate a rapid and large release of glucose. Which of the following is the correct sequence for this signaling cascade in skeletal muscle cells? O epinephrine, GPCR, Protein kinase A (PKA), phosphorylase b kinase O insulin, insulin receptor (RTK), protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), glycogen phosphorylase glucagon, GPCR, Protein kinase A (PKA), glycogen synthase O epinephrine, protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), phosphorylase b kinase, glycogen synthase insulin, insulin receptor (RTK), protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), bifunctional enzyme, glycogen synthase
ATPase is an enzyme that can hydrolyse ATP and release the potential energy stored in the phosphate bond. How would a metabolic inhibitor that blocks ATPase function affect the resting potential of nerve cells?
The figure below shows a signaling pathway activated by the bindiıng of adrehalMNe LU the beta-adrenergic receptor. Binding of adrenaline to the receptor causes GTP-binding and activation of G proteins. Active GTP-bound G protein activates adenylate cyclase to initiate a signaling cascade that affects cellular responses, and includes cellular changes to mediate increased heart rate and accounts for the flight-or-fight response. activated adenylate cyclase adrenaline activated B-adrenergic receptor adenylate cyclase G protein subunit 22 GTP SDP conformational ATP CAMP change in receptor heterotrimeric G protein ACAMP inactive protein kinase A active protein kinase A 4 cellular responses Consider the homozygous mutation in which a cell produces a variant of adenylate cyclase that can no longer be activated Which of the following are true in this cell? Select all that apply. Heart rate increases Protein Kinase A is not activated CAMP levels are lower than normal Heart rate decreases
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that, when bound to its receptor, causes the receptor to open a channel that allows the flow of Na+ ions into neurons. When the Na+ ions begin to flow into the neuron, this change in the net charge across the neuronal cell membrane often triggers Ca2+ ion channels to open. In this scenario, the acetylcholine receptor would be acting as a channel, and the Ca2+ channels would be classified as voltage-gated; leaky ligand gated; voltage-gated symporter; antiporter None of the above. ion
