Phospholipases and phosphotases both play an important role in the signal transduction. Phospholipases , specifically phospholipase C is catalyze the conversion of PIP(phosphatidylinositol) that is present in plasma membrane component, into DAG and IP3. Both ths DAG and IP3 act as an important second messanger in case of signal transduction and these molecule mediate the effect of first messanger in case of signal transduction. Therefore, phospholipases help to activate second messanger that carry informatio from the receptor present in cell membrane to the nucleus of the cell.
On the other, phosphotases are the enzyme that remove phosphate group from the molecule. This enzyme help in the corrdination with kinase enzyme in signal tranduction. The ligands having that are attach to the receptor protein and phosphotases mediate the transduction of these messages from receptor to ths nucleus.
how do phospholipases and phosphotases regulate signal transduction?
Describe how the signal transduction pathway that involves G proteins is similar to the signal transduction pathway involving inositol triphosphate. In a second paragraph describe how these 2 signal transduction pathways differ from one another. In a third paragraph describe how these 2 pathways are turned off.
5. What is the function of phosphatases in signal transduction processes? Amplify the transduction signal so it affects multiple transducers Amplify the second messengers such as CAMP Inactivate protein kinases and turn off the signal transduction Prevent a protein kinase from being reused when there is another extracellular signal Move the phosphate group of the transduction pathway to the next molecule of a series
a) Describe the VEGFR signal transduction pathway. What is a RTK? How does it transmit an external signal to the interior of the cell? What is the response of the cell? b) How can signal transduction pathways can be used to explore and develop possible new drugs for breast cancer treatment?
A signal transduction pathway includes the steps listed below. 1. An inactive signal transduction molecule is activated. 2. A transcription factor enters the nucleus. 3. A gene is expressed. 4. A ligand binds to a receptor. 5. A receptor undergoes a conformational change. 6. An active signal transduction molecule binds a transcription factor. Which represents the correct order of these steps? 4, 1, 5, 6, 2, 3. 5, 4, 1, 6, 3, 2. 4, 5, 1, 6, 2, 3. 1,...
