Magazine Chapter 4: Q16. (page 95)
Some hormone-signaling pathways result in the phosphorylation of tyrosine resides in proteins. Draw the structure of a phosphotyrosine side chain.
Short Answer
The Chemical structure of the phosphotyrosine is as follows:
Step by step solution
Hormone-signaling pathways
The signaling pathways which are induced by the hormones to regulate the cell function are hormone-signaling pathways.
Phosphorylation
Phosphorylation is the chemical addition of the phosphate groups to organic molecules.Phosphorylation is the mechanism which regulates the process of cell signaling mechanism. It plays a critical role in the regulation of various cell cycle processes like cell cycle, cellular growth, apoptosis etc.
Importance of tyrosine phorphorylation
Tyrosine phosphorylation is required for posttranslational modification. It initiates a series of signaling pathways that regulate proliferation, adhesion and migration of cells.
Chemical structure of the Phosphotyrosine side chain:
Hence, the mechanism of phosphorylation and the chemical structure of the Phosphotyrosine was understood.
