MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems Flashcards: 3a Hormone Transport Receptors Signal Transduction

Study 3a Hormone Transport Receptors Signal Transduction in MCAT Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

What is the typical downstream signaling consequence of RTK phosphotyrosines?

ANSWER

Docking of SH2/PTB proteins to initiate kinase cascades. Phosphotyrosine residues on activated RTKs recruit SH2/PTB domain proteins, which propagate signals through pathways like MAPK for cell growth.

A researcher compares signaling from two receptors in the same immune cell. Receptor M is activated by a membrane-impermeant cytokine and leads to phosphorylation of STAT proteins that dimerize and enter the nucleus. Receptor N is activated by a steroid hormone that diffuses across the membrane and binds an intracellular receptor. In an experiment, a selective blocker prevents ligand binding to receptor M only. Which outcome would be expected if receptor M is blocked?
