Question
Chapter 14, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A potential drawback of drugs that are ATP-competitive inhibitor should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A competitive inhibitor resembles the substrate that binds at the active site of the enzyme. Competitive inhibitors are mainly used in making drugs. For instance, during chemotherapy, a drug, named methotrexate is used which acts as a competitive inhibitor. Moreover, if the concentration of the substrate is increased, then the effect of a competitive inhibitor can be reduced.

Inducers and Inhibitors of AEP.
Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…

- Dear Expert. Thank you for your advice, which is good and helpful. I note that your answer is "when 3 binding sites have been occupied the activity of these receptors is maximum." However, I also note that for a similar question (see below) on α7 nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR) also gives the same answer, ie. at least 3 agonist binding sites should be occupied. Another Question - "To maximize the activity of an α7 nAChR, how many agonist binding sites should be occupied." I understand that in α7 nAChR, binding to two sites is more effective and binding to three sites is most effective for activation. On the other hand, binding to four or five sites in the nAChRs of chromosome 7 speeds up desensitization more than activation. Therefore, to maximize the activity of an α7 nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR) is also "3 sites". Am I right?arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question.

- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardSIGNALS AND TARGETS.

The figure shows the number of cells that have clusters of IRE1 molecules after those cells are treated with various levels of thapsigargin (Tg), a chemical that can induce ER stress. IRE1 can form these clusters when ER stress is induced and this clustering can cause activation of RNAse activity in IRE1. In this experiment, normal IRE1 was used (IRE1α) that can bind to Sec61, along with a modified version of IRE1 that binds to Sec61 more weakly than normal IRE1 (wIRE1α), and another modified version that binds to Sec61 more strongly than normal IRE1 (sIRE1α). From this figure you can conclude that: Question 18 options: IRE1 binding to Sec61 promotes the formation of IRE1 clumps IRE1 binding to Sec61 prevents the formation of IRE1 clumps co-translational translocation is a key process the golgi aparatus is heavily involved in the unfolded protein response The…arrow_forward
- Assighment. Create a diagram which illustrates the typical signalling mechanism of action of each of the four common classes of receptor (e.g. kinase-linked receptors etc.) and possible routes of communication (autocrine etc.). Your diagram should show the specific molecules involved, the mechanisms of signal transduction and indicate the different pathways that are activated. It should include a specific example of a receptor, ligand and signalling pathway for each general class. Include as wide a variety of ligands and modes of action as you can. For each of the examples describe the mechanism of action in the form below.
