33
Q

_____ is the process of a kinase cascade

A

34
Q

_____ is example of kinase cascade (adding a kinase to a kinase). The higher the number = further upstream from the outcome

A

A

TCR signaling produces DAG, which recruits RasGRP where it activates Ras at the membrane. Ras binds to Sos - enhances Sos activity and amplifies Ras activation. Ras activates Raf (MAP3K), which phosphorylates Mek (MAP2K), which phosphorylates Erk (MAPK). Erk enters nucleus and activates TF like Elk-1
