Question

Assuming no mutations to the signaling pathway described in the passage, what event directly activates CARD11? A.Proteolytic cleaveage B.GTP binding C.Membrane association D.Phosphorylation

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option - D. phosphorylation.

Explanation:

The CARD11 or caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 11 is a gene that provides instructions for gene expressing to make a protein in the function of lymphocytes in the immune system. Lymphocytes like B and T cells are activated with the help of cascade reactions in which these genes provide information.

The protein that activates is PKC which is a kinase enzyme that implicates that the process that activates CARD11 is phosphorylation.

Thus, the correct answer is option - d - phosphorylation.
