AP Biology
Unit 6 – Gene Expression and Regulation
Topic 6.7
How would a mutation that alters the shape of a receptor protein alter the cell signaling pathway?
The ligand would enter through the plasma membrane and interact directly with the DNA
The ligand would most likely not bind to the receptor protein, and transduction of the signal would not happen
If at least 1 receptor has not mutated, the response should stay the same
The ligand could bind to a different receptor protein and begin transduction that way
