CPPS 325 FINAL EXAM with correct answers |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What are the 5 well-known enzyme-linked cell surface receptors?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


- CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1. Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase: produces
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cGMP
|\




2. RTK: phosphorylate tyrosine residues leading to association of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


signalling molecules and cascade |\ |\ |\




3. TK Associated Receptors: associate with proteins having TK
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


activity |\




4. Receptor Tyrosine Phosphates: Removes phosphate on tyrosine
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


residues
|\ |\




5. Receptor Serine/Threonine Kinases: phosphorylate specific
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Serine/Threonine residues on IC signalling molecules |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




How are RTK and TK Associated Receptors different? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


ANSWERS ✔✔RTK phosphorylate tyrosine while associated |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


receptors bind/find proteins with TK activity to initiate the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cascade of signalling. |\ |\




What is the reciprocal of RTK? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Receptor
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Tyrosine Phosphatases. They take the phosphate off the tyrosine
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


residues to inactivate signalling cascades.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Ex. Transforming GF Beta superfamily of receptors, cell type
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


dependent.


What is the major mechanism for receptor signal transduction? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Tyrosine kinase phosphorylation |\ |\ |\ |\

,RTK vs. Serine/Threonine Phosphorylation ? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Tyrosine phosphorylation is rare (1%) relative to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


serine/threonine residue phosphorylation. Tyrosine
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\


phosphorylation is the major mechanism of receptor signal |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


transduction.


What is the net effect of activated TKs? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Tyrosine phosphorylation on target proteins.|\ |\ |\ |\




What do TK pathways mediate? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Cell
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


growth (growth factors), differentiation, host defense, metabolic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


regulation, cell survival pathways (survival factors).
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What are amplifiers of the TK pathways? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔PI3-K -> PIP3 |\ |\ |\




PLC -> DAG and InsP3&Ca2+
|\ |\ |\ |\




What are RTK mediated actions in the cell? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell motility,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


promotion of cell survival and modulation of cellular metabolism.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




TKs exist in either the cytosol or as transmembrane receptors,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


what are the differences in the two types? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Cytosol receptors have an src N-terminal region. Cytosol has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


no membrane spanning domain.
|\ |\ |\

,TM receptor has a single membrane spanning hydrophobic TM
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


domain. Ex) Epidermal GF RTK. |\ |\ |\ |\




What is src? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Src is a non-receptor TK, so
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


it does not span a membrane. It is a tyrosine kinase. And
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


although it is cytoplasmic TK it can still bind to activated RTKs.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What is contact inhibition confluency? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Stops Src domains signalling and therefore cells stop dividing.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
|\




If there is an issue then cancer can result and mutation causes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


an inhibition of the stop signal so the cells keep growing and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


dividing.


What are SH domains? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Src homology
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


domains. Src and other proteins that have src-homology domains
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


can bing to activated RTKs.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What are the different SH domains in proteins? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


ANSWERS ✔✔There are SH1, SH2 and SH3 domains. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What isSH1 domain characterized by? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Catalytic domain of a protein, for example the receptor. and it
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


has the kinase activity. It is responsible for phosphorylating
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


tyrosine residues. |\

, What is SH2 domain characterized by? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Binds peptides with consensus (positional information on C-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


terminal side of the phosphorylated tyrosine).
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Very specific. |\ |\




Mediates protein-protein interactions in cellular signalling
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cascades. Very common in proteins outside the src family.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What do SH2 and SH3 domains have as a common funciton? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔They mediate protein-protein interactions
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\


in cellular signalling cascades.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Very common in proteins outside the src family.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




What is SH3 domain characterized by? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔Interacts with proline-rich peptide targets (minimal |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


consensus). Mediate protien-protein interatctions in the cellular
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


signalling cascade. Very common in proteins outside the src
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


family.


What are PTB domains? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔(Phosphotyrosine binding domain) |\ |\ |\




Bind to phosphorylated tyrosine. Functional equivalent of the SH2
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


domain, except for the positional informational. Is not the C-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


terminus like SH2, but the N-terminus side of the phosphorylated
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


tyrosine.
shc is a PTB protein.
|\ |\ |\ |\




What is the normal action that stops signalling for cell division in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the src pathway? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Contact Inhibition
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Confluency
