Interferons

Virally infected cells produce and release small proteins called interferons, which play a role in immune protection against viruses.

<h3>What are Interferons ?</h3>

Interferons prevent replication of viruses, by directly interfering with their ability to replicate within an infected cell.

  • They also act as signalling molecules that allow infected cells to warn nearby cells of a viral presence – this signal makes neighbouring cells increase the numbers of MHC class I molecules upon their surfaces

  • So that T cells surveying the area can identify and eliminate the viral infection.

What is the main function of the golgi apparatus
aliina [53]
<span>The Golgi apparatus </span>is responsible for packing proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum into membrane-bound vesicles which then trans locate to the cell membrane. At the cell membrane, the vesicles can fuse with the larger lipid bi layer, causing the vesicle contents to either become part of the cell membrane or be released to the outside.

Identify the true statements regarding liver glycogen phosphorylase a. Protein phosphatase 1 is abbreviated PP1. The binding of
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Liver phosphorylase a concentration decreases when glucose enters the blood.

The binding of glucose to liver phosphorylase a shifts the equilibrium from the active form

As the concentration of phosphorylase a decreases, the activity of glycogen synthase increases. to the inactive form

Explanation:

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a phosphatase enzyme known to remove phosphate groups from serine/threonine amino acid residues. PP1 plays diverse biological roles including, among others, cell progression, control of glucose metabolism, muscle contraction, etc. In glucose metabolism, PP1 regulates diverse glycogen metabolizing enzymes (e.g., glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, etc). In the liver, glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in glycogenolysis by releasing glucose-1-phosphate. Glycogen phosphorylase <em>a</em> is converted (and inactivated) into the <em>b</em> form by PP1, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphate bond between serine and the phosphoryl group. In the liver, glucose binds in order to inhibit glycogen phosphorylase <em>a</em>, thereby inducing the dissociation and activation of PP1 from glycogen phosphorylase <em>a</em>.
