Protein kinase receptors phosphorylate themselves and/or other proteins when act

Question

Protein kinase receptors phosphorylate themselves and/or other proteins when activated, resulting in a(n) decrease in ligand–receptor binding. increase in production of ATP. change in shape and function of the proteins. change in the dissociation constant. inhibition of further transduction of the signal.

Explanation / Answer

Change in shape and function of the proteins

The phosphorylated receptors now work as docking targets for other proteins which have specificity for phosphorylated proteins. Hence change in structure due to phosphorylation helps in transferring the signal and induction of pathway.
