Discuss how protein kinases function to produce signal amplification in a cell

Biology
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
4 0
A signal reaches a cell mostly in the form of a signalling molecule binding to a receptor on the cell surface. This binding activates a chain of events that amplifies the signal and transfers it inside the cell. Protein kinases phosphorylate proteins and cause their activation or deactivation, or in general modify their activity. When a signalling molecule binds to a receptor, a cascade is activated and the second messengers, such as cAMP, are synthesized. cAMP molecules activate the protein kinases, which phosphorylate specific proteins and activate them.

Would a muscle cell be able to produce a functional contraction if it lacked t-tubules?
hjlf

The answer would be no. T-Tubules or Transverse tubules are additions of the sarcolemma that infiltrate into the center of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. There would be no functional contraction since it would not be capable to communicate or interconnect with the other cells.
