- PKC interacts directly with signaling molecules in growth factor cascades, but interacts with signaling inhibitors during immune signaling.
- PKC amplifies growth factor cascades, but turns off immune cascades.
- PKC is activated during growth factor cascades, but is inactivated during immune response cascades.

Aberrant signaling through the EGF receptor signal transduction pathway drives
many forms of breast cancer, while misregulation of PI3K drives many prostate
cancers. PI3K is one of MANY downstream effectors of EGF receptor signaling, and
there are several known activating mutations of PI3K.
Would a small molecule that targets PI3K be an effective treatment for a breast
cancer that is driven by aberrant signaling through the EGF receptor? Briefly explain
your choice.

Binding of TGF-β to its receptors can elicit a variety of responses in different cell types. For example, TGF-β induces plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 in epithelial cells and specific immunoglobulins in B cells. In both cell types, Smad3 is activated. Given the conservation of the signaling pathway, what accounts for the diversity of the response to TGF-β in various cell types?

- When insulin binds to its receptor, a conformational change occurs that results in auto phosphorylation of the receptor on a specific Tyr residues. In the next step of the signaling pathway, an adaptor protein called IRS-1(insulin receptor substrate-1) docks with the phosphorylated receptor. This step is essential for the downstream activation of several kinases including Alk, also known as protein B as well as protein C kinase and GSK-3. Protein kinase 3 is involved in mobilizing GLUT 4 glucose transporters to the plasma membrane and GSK-3 phosphorylates glycogen sunthase. What would be the effects of a mammalian organism over expressing IRS-1 were also deficient in muscle GAK-3? Would this deficiency be lethal ?arrow_forwardTLRs activate NFkB, AP-1, and IRF transcription factors to induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. A key feature of TLR signaling is the ability to induce inflammatory cytokine gene expression extremely rapidly following TLR stimulation. This is accomplished by signaling pathways using several mechanisms to activate transcription factors that are already present in the cell prior to TLR stimulation, but are kept in an inactive state. These signaling pathways use all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT: Induced ubiquitination leading to protein degradation Induced ubiquitination inducing protein–protein interactions Induced phosphorylation leading to nuclear translocation Induced phosphorylation leading to kinase activation Induced phosphorylation preventing protein degradationarrow_forwardUse the SGF-signaling pathway image as a reference, to answer the following questions.

- Once an activated signaling pathway has elicited the proper changes in target gene expression, the pathway must be inactivated. Otherwise, pathological consequences may result, as exemplified by persistent growth factor initiated signaling in many cancers. Many signaling pathways possess intrinsic negative feedback by which a downstream event in a pathway turns off an upstream event. Describe the negative feedback that down-regulates signals induced by (a) erythropoietin and (b) TGF-β.arrow_forwardYou are studying the role of CAMP in cell signaling. You hypothesize that 2 intracellular signaling proteins, named GO and TIGERS, interact with each other when cells are treated with an extracellular source of CAMP.

During the 1990s, it was discovered that Factor X stimulates the proliferation and migration of the cells that form blood vessels, thereby inducing the formation of new blood vessels. Factor X binds to specific receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) on the cell surface and causes the RTKs to dimerize and become active, initiating an intracellular signaling cascade that stimulates cell division and inhibits apoptosis. Many cancer cells secrete high levels of Factor X, and increased Factor X expression in a tumor is correlated with a poor medical outcome for the patient. Some evidence suggests that blocking Factor X-dependent signaling may prevent the formation of new blood vessels and lead to the death of immature blood vessels without disturbing mature blood vessels.
