What role do phosphatases play in signal transduction pathways?

Biology
1 answer:
tino4ka555 [31]3 years ago
5 0

Ans.

The phosphatases are enzyme molecules that remove phosphate groups from their substrates. In signal transduction pathways, phosphatases deactivate protein kinases by breakdown of phosphoric acid mono esters into free hydroxyl group and a phosphate ion. It causes termination of signal transduction as protein kinases are no longer active to transmit signals.

Thus, the correct answer is 'they inactivate protein kinases to turn off signal transduction.'

How were you able to determine if something was living, once living, or never living (non-living)?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Must have lived before.

Explanation:

For an organism to be classified as once living, an object must have been part of a living organism or is now dead. When a flower is plucked from a plant it is hard to distinguish between when it is considered alive and when it is now considered once living. An example of a nonliving object is an apple or a dead leaf.Apr 22, 2013
