SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Some bacterial toxins cause disease by  altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
  • Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
  • Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
  • Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
  • CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
  • Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions
