. CheB is a methylesterase that demethylates the receptor. The protein contains two domains: the N-terminal domain is the regulatory domain, and the C-terminal domain is the catalytic domain. CheB is activated by phosphorylation, which causes a conformational change that exposes the active site in the catalytic domain.
a) What is the difference between a two-domain protein and a two-subunit protein?
b) What would you expect to be the phenotype of a mutant that lacked the N-terminal domain of CheB?
a. Protein subdomain is a part of protein subprotein. Two domain protein means protein (single polypeptide) with a single protein with two domains whereas protein subunit consist of one or more polypeptide chain.
b. The protein that lack N terminal of cheB protein, which do not have regulatory sequence, will not able to express because of the absence of structural domain.

The CFTR protein is a membrane Cl- transport protein and has a cytosolic regulatory domain that is phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA). PKA phosphorylation has been found to activate the Cl- channel activity of CFTR in lung cells. Secretion of chloride by CFTR is enhanced by binding of epinephrine to the β-adrenergic receptor that couples to Gs, and is inhibited by binding of serotonin to a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that couples to Gi. However, epinephrine and serotonin added...
A single transmembrane hormone receptor associates into a dimer upon binding to the hormone on the exterior of the cell. The cytoplasmic domains of the receptor dimer have tyrosine kinase activity and each subunit of the dimer phosphorylates tyrosines in the other subunit. These phosphorylated tyrosines then serve as substrates for the binding of a membrane associated protein Xm. Upon the binding of Xm to the phosphorylated transmembrane dimer, the kinase activity of the dimer also phosphorylates the Xm protein...
Drosopholia eye development is an example of cell differentiation directed by signal binding to a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). In this pathway, R7 photoreceptor development requires a receptor (SEV, sevenless), which is activated by binding to a plasma membrane bound signal (BOSS, bride-of-sevenless) displayed on the adjacent R8 cell Receptor activation leads to activation of RAS via two proteins, Drk (down- stream of receptor kinases) and Sos (son-of-sevenless). Activated RAS leads to activation of a phosphorylation cascade that activates the...
Epinephrine B-Adrenergic receptor Adenylate cyclase GDP ATP Cyclic AMP ✓ Protein kinase A Protein kinase A Describe the steps by which epinephrine causes cAMP production. [Choose ] Epinephrine binds to the extracellular portion of the beta-adrenergic receptor [Choose] The binding of epinephrine causes dimerization of its receptor. Choose] On the intracellular side, this change propagates to membrane-bound heterotrimeric G proteins. This causes them to hydrolyze GTP. [Choose ] < [Choose ] The G-proteins then dissociate into their alpha and beta/gamma...
4. The protein shown below is an enzyme-linked receptor. This means that this protein... Circle your answer a) can speed up chemical reactions. b) can bind to certain signaling molecules. c) all of the above. D. Think about the enzyme-linked receptor we discussed in class. After the signaling molecules binds to this receptor, it causes the active site on the receptor to become available. What binds to this active site? E. Consider the molecule you named in the previous question....
3) A protein contains an N-terminal cleavable signal sequence and two further transmembrane domains. How is the protein most likely oriented with respect to the ER membrane? How is it oriented when introduced to the plasma membrane after trafficking?
Place in the right order the sequence of biochemical events that after the release of insulin into the bloodstream from the pancreas leads to the translocation of GLUT4 from internal vesicles to the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. (1) Insulin is released by the beta cells of the pancreas ( ) Binding of PKB to PIP3 promotes phosphorylation of PKB by PDK1 ( ) The catalytic site of the insulin receptor phosphorylates tyrosine residues of target intracellular proteins, among which the...

1. Protein kinases phosphorylate target enzymes and as a result enzymes become activated or inactivated. Which of the statements are TRUE? (Multiple answers: You can select more than one option) A. Phosphorylated enzymes behave like competitive inhibitors B The presence of a phosphate acts as a non-competitive inhibitor/activator. No change in Km but significant change in Vmax C. The presence of a phosphate group induces a conformational change that modifies the affinity and catalytic ability of a target enzyme D....
