You genetically engineered a cell to no longer contain the extracellular domain of an integrin. What is the most likely effect of losing this domain on the cell's ability to bind?
A
It would affect the cell's ability to attach to the ECM.
B
It would have no effect on the cell's ability to attach to anything.
C
It would affect the cell's ability to attach to the cytoskeleton through adaptor proteins.
D
It would affect both the cell's ability to attach to other cells and the cell's ability to attach to the cytoskeleton.
What kind of domain is involved with intracellular signaling, cytoskeleton remodeling, and are able to bind phosphoinositides with both high affinity and specificity?
A.
SH2
B.
SH1
C.
PH
D.
None of the answers are correct
E.
SH3
F.
Either SH1 or SH2
Receptor downregulation often occurs via endocytosis as a means of turning off a signaling pathway. How does receptor-
mediated endocytosis result in turning off signaling?
O A. Receptor-mediated endocytosis shuts off signaling through polyubiquitination and degradation of the receptor by the
proteasome.
B. It doesn't. Signaling continues until the endosome fuses with the lysosome.
) C. Signaling is shut off rapidly through the budding of endosomes into themselves forming multivesicular bodies. This sequesters
the cytoplasmic tail from intracellular signaling proteins.
D. Receptor-mediated endocytosis shuts off signaling by sorting receptors to recycling endosomes.

Endosomes containing the receptor are transported by myosin V walking towards the minus end of microtubules. Endosomes are targeted to the late endosome/lysosome by Rab and SNARES facilitate membrane fusion. OC.

However, a particular cell you are studying has an unusually low number of testosterone receptors. How might the cell's response to testosterone be affected by its low number of testosterone receptors? A. The cell will activate more protein kinases in response to testosterone exposure than a cell with a normal number of testosterone receptors. B. The cell will make less mRNA in response to testosterone exposure. C. The cell will make less cAMP in response to testosterone exposure. D. The cell’s response to testosterone exposure will be identical to the response of a cell with a normal number of testosterone receptors.arrow_forwardYou perform a competition study on a GPCR. You have isolated the plasma membrane from cells which contains the GPCR of interest. If an agonist and an inverse agonist are at equal concentrations in your study but the inverse agonist has a 10 x higher affinity for the receptor than the agonist, what would you expect to be the overall outcome to be? More of the agonist is bound and so most of the receptor is in its active conformation and is stimulated More of the inverse agonist is bound and so most of the receptor is in its inactive conformation and is unstimulated.arrow_forward
