Question 1

Question
Which Gprotein causes the activation Phospholipase CBeta?
Answer
  • Gq
  • Gs
  • Gi

Question 2

Question
How is Phospholipase CBeta activated?
Answer
  • By GTP binding to the alpha subunit of the Gq protein
  • By ATP binding to the alpha subunit of the Gq protein
  • By GMP binding to the alpha subunit of the Gq protein

Question 3

Question
What is broken down by phospholipase CBeta?
Answer
  • Phosphatidynositol 4,5 bisphophate
  • Phosphatidynositol 3,5 bisphophate
  • Phosphatidynositol 2,4 bisphophate

Question 4

Question
Which product of the PCbeta pathway causes the release of calcium from the ER?
Answer
  • IP3
  • Diacylglycerol

Question 5

Question
What role(s) does the released Ca perform?
Answer
  • Activates protein kinase C
  • Activates protein kinase B
  • Activates various Ca dependent protein kinases

Question 6

Question
What residues are phosphorylated by the protein kinases activated by this pathway?
Answer
  • Serine
  • Threonine
  • Tyrosine

Question 7

Question
Which subunit of Protein Kinase C contains the pseudosubstrate domain?
Answer
  • PS
  • C1A
  • C4

Question 8

Question
What is the function of subunut C1A
Answer
  • DAG binding site
  • Calcium binding site
  • Phosphatidyl serine binding site

Question 9

Question
Do Ca 2+ and phosphatidyl serine bind to subunit C2?
Answer
  • Yes
  • No

Question 10

Question
Which subunits are part of the catalytic domain?
Answer
  • C1A
  • C3
  • C4
  • PS
  • C5

Question 11

Question
ATP binds to C2, True or False?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
When IP3 causes the increase in cytosolic calcium, what happens to protein kinase C?
Answer
  • It moves to the membrane and binds with DAG
  • It remains in the cytoplasm and binds with DAG

Question 13

Question
Once protein kinase C has bound to DAG in the membrane, what does it then bind to to release the pseudosubstrate from its active site?
Answer
  • Phosphatidylserine
  • Phosphatidylglycine
  • Phosphatidylglutamate

Question 14

Question
Which of the following is a tumor promoting agent?
Answer
  • Phorbol ester
  • Orphol ester
  • Phenyl ester

Question 15

Question
How do tumor promoting agents effect Phospholipase CBeta?
Answer
  • They bind without being degraded, so it becomes hyperactive
  • They stop the alpha subunit binding, so it becomes unreactive
  • They cause the multiplication of the number of PCbeta enzymes in the cell, causing hyperactivity
