Is the invertase of Streptococcus mutans intracellular or extracellular?
What is its subunit location (is it bound to the plasma membrane, cytosolic, vacuolar, or periplasmic?)?
The invertase of Streptococcus mutans is intracellular and uses this enzyme to demineralize the tooth surface by forming lactic acid from the metabolism of fructose and glucose. This intracellular form is mainly found with the cytoplasmic membrane or bound to the plasma membrane.

GTP-coupled receptors bind and interact with intracellular proteins. These proteins, in turn, each have a specific response in cell signaling. Place the description on the correct location of GPCR signaling. 1st attempt See Hint Plasma membrane GDP GDP GTP GDP leaves and exchanges with GTP, leading to subunit dissociation Ligand occupancy of receptor causes a twist in the transmembran e loops, opening the GTP/GDP pocket of the alpha subunit Inactive heterotrimeric G protein bound to GDP Beta/gamma subunits remain as...
How would an equal distribution of ions inside (intracellular) and outside (extracellular) the neuron affect the membrane potential? What is the advantage of an unequal distribution?
or each of the following sentences, select the best word or phrase from the list below to fill in the blanks ot all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase should be used only once 38. (3) An extracellular signal molecule can act to change a cell's behavior by acting through cell that control intracellular signaling proteins. These intracellular proteins that bring surface signaling proteins ultimately change the activity of about cell responses. Intracellular signaling proteins can...

What is the equilibrium membrane potential due to Nations if the extracellular concentration of Nations is 148 mM and the intracellular concentration of Nations is 21 mM at 20°C? Number
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...
