g protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels mediate depotentiation of long-term potentiation

Biology
1 answer:
Svetlanka [38]2 years ago
8 0

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is considered a cellular correlate of learning and memory. The presence of G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K(+) (GIRK) channels near excitatory synapses on dendritic spines suggests their possible involvement in synaptic plasticity. However, whether activity-dependent regulation of  channels affects excitatory synaptic plasticity is unknown. In a companion article we have reported activity-dependent regulation of GIRK channel density in cultured hippocampal neurons that requires activity oF receptors (NMDAR) and protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and takes place within 15 min. In this study, we performed whole-cell recordings of cultured hippocampal neurons and found that NMDAR activation increases basal GIRK current and GIRK channel activation mediated by adenosine A(1) receptors, but not GABA(B) receptors. Given the similar involvement of NMDARs, adenosine  receptors, and PP1 in depotentiation of LTP caused by low-frequency stimulation that immediately follows LTP-inducing high-frequency stimulation, we wondered whether NMDAR-induced increase in GIRK channel surface density and current may contribute to the molecular mechanisms underlying this specific depotentiation. Remarkably, GIRK2 null mutation or GIRK channel blockade abolishes depotentiation of LTP, demonstrating that GIRK channels are critical for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity.

Many toxins and poisons block certain enzymes in the mitochondria. For example, many fruits, including apricots, apples, plums,
enot [183]

Answer:

C. All of the answer choices are correct.

Explanation:

Option A is correct because the reproduction of the cell implies arrangement of chromosomes, making of proteins, organelles, cytokinesis and other cells process that need energy since the mitochondria is not working properly there isn't an appropriate organelle function ( option B).

Option D is correct because ATP is needed for the membrane proteins to undergo active transport. For example the sodium-potassium pump is crucial for the balance of ions. With no energy the protein involved in this process would not work.

The lock-and-key mechanism refers to
Zinaida [17]
The Lock-and-key mechanism was first proposed by Emil Fischer which described as the enzymatic reactions whereby an enzyme with a single substrate binds temporarily to form a substrate complex. 
The lock-and-key mechanism is usually associated with the complementary shapes of an enzyme with a single substrate, wherein the lock  that is being referred to is the enzyme and the substrate is the key. One right sized substrate (key) fits into the active site (key hole) of the enzyme (lock).
The active site which is mentioned above is structurally complementary to the substrate. This is the temporary binding site on the enzymes. Just like a lock and key, the enzyme as the lock and the substrate as the key is said to fit together.

What did Mendel's cross pollination of pea plants prove
pashok25 [27]

Answer: The correct answer is- D certain factors are dominant and other factors are recessive.

Mendel was interested in knowing the offspring that is produced from the cross pollination (that is from two different plants) as he wanted to study different traits of pea plant.

For doing so, he first removed the anthers of one plant (to prevent self pollination) and then transferred the pollens of one plant into the stigma of another plant.

When he allowed the cross pollination of purebred pea plant with other plant, he observed that some factors are dominant (such as tall height of pea plant, which masks the expression of recessive factors) and other are recessive (such as dwarf height of pea plant).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

Which kingdom has 2 kingdoms that are all unicellular?
dalvyx [7]

Answer: Prokaryotes, archaea, protists, fungi, algae.

Explanation:I don’t think there are any single celled organisms that are today classified as animals. So basically I just left the animal kingdom out. Both metazoans and sponges are for the most part multicellular.
