Q17: G protein coupled receptors have two cavities, one opened towards the extracellular space and one opened towards the cytosol. What binds to the cavity opened towards the cytosol?
Homework Answers
Alpha subunit of g protein binds to the cavity opened towards the cytosol.
GPCR s are heptameric receptors, spanning the membrane. Once it encounters a ligand, it undergoes conformational changes and activates trimeric g proteins and further downstream processing of cell signalling occurs. G proteins are heteromtrimeric in nature and the three subunits are alpha, beta and gamma. The alpha subunit, in inactive g protein is associated with GDP however on activation by GPCRs, GDP are replaced by GTP.

Some G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are associated with a protein called RGS, which stimulates the GTPase activity of the receptor’s G-protein. What effect does RGS have on GPCR signaling? a. Signaling events are activated (upregulated) due to an increase in cAMP levels. b. Signaling events are downregulated due to disruption of the receptor-ligand interaction. c. Signaling events are activated as PKA as inhibition from the regulatory subunits is abolished. d. Signaling events are downregulated as the G-protein adopts its inactive...

INFORMATION ABOUT IMAGE G FOR QUESTIONS 12-15:
GABAB receptors (GABABRs) are
G-protein-coupled receptors that can be found on both pre- and
postsynaptic neurons. When they are activated by GABA, they can
have a range of effects. For the synapse you are studying in the
following questions, the effects of GABABRs are
indicated in IMAGE G.
You are doing a series of experiments in which you are recording
from the pre- and postsynaptic cell at a synapse. The experiments
described below...
