Chapter 9, Problem 15RQ

How does NF-kB induce gene expression?

  1. A small, hydrophobic ligand binds to NF-kB, activating it.
  2. Phosphorylation of the inhibitor Ik-B dissociates the complex between it and NF- kB, and allows NF-kB to enter the nucleus and stimulate transcription.
  3. NF-kB is phosphorylated and is then free to enter the nucleus and bind DNA.
  4. NF-kB is a kinase that phosphorylates a transcription factor that binds DNA and promotes protein production.

What is the purpose of the Map Kinase Cascade?
which of the following correctly describes how protein kinase A can activate genes? A: nuclear protein kinase A is activated by cAMP to phosphorylate general transcription factors B: cytosolic protein kinase A is activated by cAMP to release the catalytic subunits, which move into the nucleus and phosphorylate CREB C: cytosolic protein kinase A is activated by cAMP to release the catalytic subunits, which move into the nucleus and phosphorylate general transcription factors D: G protein-coupled receptors may be desensitized by serine phosphorylation
