Answer #1

Correct answer is option d- Adenylyl cyclase

Explanation: Raf, Atk and Erk are activated by Receptor tyrosine kinases. But adenylyl cyclase is activated by G protein coupled receptor (GPCR). When suitable ligand bind to G protein coupled receptor, the G protein, which remain associated in the cytosolic domain of GPCR, became activated and bound GTP is replaced by GTP. As a result G protein became activated and G-alpha subunit get detached from the beta-gamma subunit of G protein. G-alpha subunit of G protein with bound GTP activates adenylyl cyclase which then converts ATP to cAMP. Then cAMP acts as second messenger and it regulates downstream pathway. So correct answer is option d - adenylyl cyclase.
