Which of the following events is an example of negative feed
Which of the following events is an example of negative feedback in a signaling pathway ?
A Binding of the beta/gamma subunits to an alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric GTPase.
B Binding of ORAI to STIM1.
C Binding of a GEF to a monomeric GTPase.
D Binding of a GDP-bound heterotrimeric GTPase to adenylyl cyclase.
E Calcium-calmodulin mediated activation of a membrane localized Ca2+ pump that moves Ca2+ out of the cytoplasm.
Solution
The correct answer is:
E.Calcium-calmodulin mediated activation of a membrane localized Ca2+ pump that moves Ca2+ out of the cytoplasm.
Reason:The above statement is a negative feed back example in signalling pathway as increase in levels of calcium ions out of cytoplasm leads to deactivation of Ca2+ pump.
