Changes in Signal Transduction Pathways

AP Biology· difficulty 2/5

Cellular signaling pathways are typically terminated by

  • A

    Phosphatases (that remove phosphates) and GTPase activity (that turns off G proteins)

  • B

    Continued ligand binding and sustained second messenger production

  • C

    Cytokinesis (which separates the daughter cells from each other)

  • D

    Permanent activation of receptors and prolonged kinase signaling

Explanation

Signal off-switches: dephosphorylation, GTP hydrolysis on G proteins, ligand removal, receptor internalization.
