Cell Signaling Other Signaling Pathways

Core kinases of Hippo pathway in mammals are

MST1/2 and LATS1/2, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

β-catenin degradation requires which kinases?

CK1 and GSK3, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

Akt activation requires phosphorylation by:

PDK1 and mTORC2, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation.

Brassinosteriod

BIN2 is functionally similar to which animal kinase?

Answer: B) GSK3. For Brassinosteriod, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) MAPK; C) PKA; D) PKC. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.

Brassinosteriod

Which kinase negatively regulates BR signaling?

Go with B — BIN2. Under Brassinosteriod, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) BSK1; C) BSU1; D) CDG1. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.
