Question

You have been studying the effects of vitamin D on gene expression. What kind of receptor do you expect to be involved in this response?

Nuclear receptor

ion channel

enzyme linked receptor

GPCR


If you make a mutation in a G protein so that it cannot interact with it's alpha subunit or RGS protein, which of the following outcomes would be most likely?

phosphorylation of the GPCR

all are likely outcomes

constant activation of adenylyl cyclase and production of cAMP

Which of the following is/are an example of a latent gene regulatory protein that is regulated by cleavage or proteolysis?

STAT1/STAT2

RAS

SMADs

NFKB

If phosphorylation of an intracellular signaling molecule promotes signaling, then which enzyme would you expect to turn off signaling?

phosphatase

kinase

phospholipase

GTPase




You are studying the localization of a steroid hormone receptor in cells using fluorescent microscopy. You have tagged the receptor with GFP (green fluorescent protein) and are looking to see where the receptor goes under different conditions. You treat the cells with the cortisol. Where do you expect to find the green fluorescence?

cell surface

ER

nucleus

cytoplasm

Explanation / Answer

1. Nuclear receptor

Calcitriol is metabolite of vitamin D, which binds to the nuclear receptor.

4. Phosphatase.

Because signaling will be terminated by removal of phosphate, so phosphatase will be used.

5. Nucleus.

Steroid hormone receptor binds with the steroid and take it directly to the nucleus.
