Chapter 11, Problem 5TYK

Which of the following is a key difference between GPCRs and RTKs?

  1. a. GPCRs use cGMP, but RTKs use cAMP.
  2. b. GPCRs are membrane bound, but RTKs are found in the cytoplasm.
  3. c. GPCRs are common in animal cells, but RTKs are common in plant cells.
  4. d. GPCRs generally activate a single pathway, but RTKs may trigger many signal transduction pathways.

A small number of cell surface receptors and low amounts of signals (ligands) can generate a large intracellular response as each step of the signal transduction pathway can be expanded by... A. gene amplification, i.e. increasing the number of target genes. B.  enzyme-mediated signal amplification, e.g. phosphorylation cascades. C.  the synthesis of new proteins. D.  ATP Synthase, e.g. by building proton (H+) gradients.
What is the function of Ras during tyrosine kinase cell signaling? a. It activates the opening of channel-linked receptors. b. It is an enzyme that synthesizes second messengers. c. It links the receptor protein to the MAP kinase pathway. d. It phosphorylates other enzymes as part of a pathway.
Which of the following statements regarding signaling in normal cells and cancer cells is false? a. In normal cells, RTK transphosphorylation is strictly dependent on ligand binding. Ligand binding promotes a conformational change in the RTKS that is required for dimerization, and dimerization is required for transphosphorylation. b. Cancers cells that over-express RTK's can respond to tiny amounts of ligand, and in some instances signaling can be ligand-independent. c. Cancer cells that have established several autocrine signaling loops have a poor prognosis, because these cells have enabled multiple independent mitogenic signal transduction pathways. 4 d. The extracellular ectodomains of all RTKS are highly conserved in primary sequence and structure. e. RTKS have a hydrophilic extracellular ectodomain, and hydrophobic transmembrane domain, and a hydrophilic cytoplasmic domain, which contains the catalytic portion of the protein.
