Few mutants (column A) and their results (column B) are listed in the table given below:
| Column A | Column B |
| A. Gain-of-function of Ski | I. Inhibits the ability of activated type I TGF-β receptors (RI) to phosphorylate R-Smad proteins |
| B. Loss-of-function of RII receptor | II. Transcription activation induced by TGF-β and mediated by Smad complexes is shut down |
| C. Gain-of-function of smad-7 | |
| D. Loss-of-function of R-smad |
Match the correct mutation with the observe result?

As in all G protein–coupled signalling pathways, timely termination of the rhodopsin signalling pathway requires that all the activated intermediates be inactivated rapidly, restoring the system to its basal state, ready for signalling again. Which of the following mechanism does not terminate rhodopsin signalling?

a. recruiting PKB to the plasma membrane
b. recruiting the activating kinase PDK1 to the plasma membrane
c. releasing inhibition of the catalytic site by the PH domain
