_____________ _ produces the second messengers IP3 and diacylglycerol (DAG).

Expert Solution

when a ligand binds to GPCR, the conformation of the GPCR changes then trimeric G proteins associate with GDP on the G-alpha is replaced with GTP, then G alpha dissociates from G beta-gamma subunits, Galpha-s stimulates adenylate cyclase and G beta-gamma activates phospholipase C, which cleaves Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to IP3 and diacylglycerol.

G alpha is deactivated when GTPase activating protein hydrolyze GTP to GDP.

Phospholipase C produces the second messengers IP3 and diacylglycerol (DAG).
In heterotrimeric G-proteins, the G alphas subunit stimulates adenylyl cyclase.
Types of regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins known as GTPase activating protein (GAP ) accelerate termination of signaling by stimulating a G-protein to hydrolyze GTP.

Which of the following statements about heterotrimeric G proteins is FALSE. Upon activation by a G-protein coupled receptor, the G-protein usually breaks into two complexes, each of which can activate target proteins. The α subunit is bound to GTP when the protein is in the inactive state The activated a subunit switches itself off by hydrolyzing its bound GTP G-proteins can activate membrane-bound enzymes and ion channels Once activated by a receptor, the α subunit can dissociate from the receptor
