Suppose a researcher discovers a new growth-factor signal-transduction pathway. When the researcher adds the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog GTPYS, the duration of the hormonal response increases. Why does the hormonal response last longer in the presence of GTPYS? O The Ga-GTPYS complex has higher affinity for GB and Gy than for adenylate cyclase. O Ga binds covalently to adenylate cyclase in the presence of GTPYS. O The G protein in this signal-transduction pathway is defective for nucleotide binding. O GTPYS prolongs the Ga-adenlylate cyclase association because GDP formation cannot occur. O Adenylate cyclase binds to GTPYS independently of the G protein.
