ANS 1..(C) SPECIFICITY

EXPLANATION: G protein is a type of seven pass transmembrane protein which contain three domain extracellular, integral and intracellular(cytosolic).It has multiple subunit, means trimeric subunit which contain G alpha,beta and gamma subunit.They are specific because when signal molecules/ligand comes into extracellular domain it generates a signal cascade in which the inactive form of trimeric units gets activated by guanine exchange factor results into signal transfer.But when the specific signal molecule/ligand is absent ,they are not able to produce signalling cascade and pathways remain switch OFF.In G protein when subunit is in binded form with GDP the signaling which will OFF but when they get binded with GTP switch will be ON.

DESENSITIZATION is a condition arises when there is loss of responses occur due to repeatation of same signaling for long duration .SENSITIVITY also a type of response generally shown by neurotransmitter.

ANS 2..(f) LOCALIZATION

Explanation:LIPID raft generally limiting the signal by internalising themselfes in a particular area .As lipid raft contain high concentration of cholestrol and glycosphingolipid in the subdomain of plasma membrane.Raft also have small amount of protein so they may involve in signal transduction.Rafts are also important for regulating signaling by two process first is not transfer proper signal due to less protein containa and secondly by sequestration of signaling components which means they supress the protein activity internaly or within raft.

Mutations to proteins directly involved in the G-protein couple receptor could render the signaling pathway either constitutively active or inactive. Explain in which protein(s) can result in constitutively active signaling pathway and which one will result in inactive signaling by mutations.

Neurobiology 1.What signaling pathway is activated when enkephalins bind to the m-opioid receptor? What are 2 actions of m-opioid receptor activation that block pain sensation (nociception) at the relay synapse between nociceptive neurons and projection neurons in the spinal cord? Who do these actions block nociception?

Explain the cell signaling pathway which involves membrane receptor (tyrosine kinase receptors and G protein-coupled receptors). Use ONE (1) specific example to explain each reception pathway. The details of the summary should be concise and informative. The length of the summary for each type of membrane receptor should be less than 200 words.
