Answer #1

Correct Answer : C - receptor Internalization

Explanation : Internalization is a receptor- mediated endocytic process. In this process, the cell will binds to its specific receptor protein on the cell surface. It is the ending response in the process of signal transduction by receptor tyrosine kinase(RTK). In this process the Receptor binding protein are activated by ligands and then autophosphorylate the Tyrosine residues. These residues acts as a binding site for CbI . These CbI catalyses attachment of ubiquitine to other receptors and these receptors marked them for Internalization.

The activated receptors and CbI complex either leads to Receptor ubiquination or Internalization or sometimes degraded in the lysosome itself.

A scientist is trying to explain the free energy of binding (ΔGbind) between a ligand and protein receptor. Experimental measurements indicate a binding enthalpy of ΔHbind = -59.7 kcal/mol. After analyzing the crystal structure of the receptor-ligand complex, the scientist identifies three interface charge-charge contacts and reasons that all other energetic contributions can be ignored. The three charge-charge contacts have the following properties, Contact 1 involves a pair of positively (+1.0) and negatively (-1.0) charged atoms separated by 4.0 Å...
