Tyrosine Kinase Pathway - Biochemistry
Card 0 of 24
Protein-tyrosine kinase activation can result in the activation of two classical second messengers, inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). These molecules are produced as a result of a hydrolysis reaction that is stimulated by protein-tyrosine kinase activation.
What is the enzyme that catalyzes this hydrolysis reaction, and what molecule is cleaved into IP3 and DAG?

What is the enzyme that catalyzes this hydrolysis reaction, and what molecule is cleaved into IP3 and DAG?
In this specific pathway, protein-tyrosine kinase phosphorylation activates phospholipase C (PLC), which then catalyzes the hydrolysis of 
, a membrane phospholipid, into IP3 and DAG. IP3 and DAG then go on to activate second messenger cascades. Protein kinases can be activated by tyrosine kinases, but PLC is the enzyme specifically required for the IP3/DAG cascade.

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) transduce extracellular signals into intracellular signaling cascades. This is possible because RTKs have an extracellular ligand binding domain to sense ligands outside of the cell, a transmembrane domain that spans the cell membrane, and an intracellular domain that activates pathways within the cell.
Which of the following best describesthe mechanism by which the cytosolic domains of RTKs activate downstream signaling cascades?

Which of the following best describesthe mechanism by which the cytosolic domains of RTKs activate downstream signaling cascades?
Ligand binding stabilizes the dimerization of cytosolic domains of RTKs, and the intracellular domains can trans-phosphorylate one another (autophosphorylate) to activate the kinase domains. While there are other mechanisms of activation for RTKs, none of the other answers provide a correct mechanism for this activation.

Which of the following correctly places the steps of the receptor tyrosine kinase in order?
The first step in all signaling pathways is ligand binding. This causes the extracellular domains to dimerize, inducing a conformational change in transmembrane segments. The cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase domains are then then brought close so they can cross-phosphorylate leading to receptor tyrosine kinase activation. Insulin signaling is a primary example of receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction, and its receptor is already dimerized.

Which of the following correctly matches the SH2 (Src Homology 2) and SH3 (Src Homology 3) domains with their residues?
Which of the following correctly matches the SH2 (Src Homology 2) and SH3 (Src Homology 3) domains with their residues?
SH2 and SH3 domains are Src homology domains that interact with insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrates. They are especially important in the Ras-activated MAP kinase cascade. SH2 domains, because of their deep positive arginine pockets, tightly bind phosphotyrosine residues but not phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues.

Where do protein kinases most commonly add phosphate groups from ATP for signaling purposes?
Where do protein kinases most commonly add phosphate groups from ATP for signaling purposes?
The most common point of transfer of an ATP phosphate group is to the hydroxyl of tyrosine, serine, and threonine. Tyrosine and serine/threonine-specific kinases, in particular, help regulate signal transduction. As for the other amino acids, another kinase that sometimes appears is a histidine kinase, mostly in prokaryotes. Sulfur, nitrogen, and carboxyl groups are not typical targets for phosphorylation within proteins for signaling purposes.
