Receptor Serine/Threonine Kinases | Receptor Tyrosine Kinases | G-Protein-Coupled Receptors |
Receptor serine/threonine receptors transduce signals for the TGF-beta family | IT is a cell surface receptor that binds and respond to growth factors such as fibroblast growth factors (FGF) | It interacts with G proteins in the plasma membrane. |
They perform inhibitory as well as stimulatory signal action for growth and differentiation by binding to members of the transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) superfamily. | Binding of a signaling molecule with an RTK activates tyrosine kinase in the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor which then launches a series of enzymatic reactions that carry the signal to the nucleus. |
Binding of a signaling molecule to a GPCR results in G protein activation, which in turn triggers the production of any number of second messengers. |
Transduce signals by means of serine/threonine. | Transduce signals by means of tyrosine kinase activity. | GPCRs transduce signals by means of heterotrimeric G proteins. |
How does RSTK signal transduction differ from RTK and GPCR signaling? (Drawing a table may help)
a) Describe the VEGFR signal transduction pathway. What is a RTK? How does it transmit an external signal to the interior of the cell? What is the response of the cell? b) How can signal transduction pathways can be used to explore and develop possible new drugs for breast cancer treatment?
Describe how the signal transduction pathway that involves G proteins is similar to the signal transduction pathway involving inositol triphosphate. In a second paragraph describe how these 2 signal transduction pathways differ from one another. In a third paragraph describe how these 2 pathways are turned off.
How does cancer result from defects in the EGF activated signal transduction pathway?
-Trace the general mechanism by which a signal transduction pathway occurs (i.e. from signaling molecule to response) Describe the two ways in which signaling proteins act as molecular switches -Which amino acid residues do kinases typically add phosphate groups? Distinguish between the two types of G proteins -What proteins regulate GTP-binding protein (G proteins) in terms of activation and inactivation? - Distinguish between the three main classes of cell surface receptors. -Trace the general mechanism by which a signal transduction...

A) Draw and describe the Wnt signal transduction pathway i) with and ii) without ligand binding. Follow the molecules from the receptor, all the way into the nucleus. B) Summarize the formation of the dorsal axis in the Xenopus embryo beginning with the oocyte and proceeding through to the late blastula. Indicate where Wnt signaling is and is not activated. C) Explain the changes in gene expression that occur after Wnt activation and how these affect organizer genes and gastrulation....
