1. Based on the following description, draw the cell signaling pathway described (you only need to draw the pathway in one cell, but show the type of signaling described - you may need 2 diagrams). Compound X is released from cells in the pancreas and activates cells in the liver. What general type of cell signaling is this? When compound X binds its receptor on a liver cell, some of the amino acids (Y - one letter amino acid code) on the cytoplasmic side of the receptor are phosphorylated. Label what type of receptor this is. This leads to the receptor activating a cytoplasmic protein F which then activates a kinase K which then activates protein Z (diagram what is happening here - how is protein Z activated). Protein Z activation results in several genes being expressed. Label all your parts (don't forget to label the ligand). Circle the signal transduction pathway and put a box around the cell response. THIS IS A TOTALLY MADE-UP PATHWAY. I HAVE COMBINED MULTIPLE PATHWAY TYPES, SO DO NOT TRY TO LOOK IT UP. THIS QUESTION IS DESIGNED TO HAVE YOU APPLY YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF CELL SIGNALING TERMS.
Please answer with a drawing format by hand.
