Following statements regarding to noncanonical wnt pathways.

A. The planar cell polarity, or PCP, pathway functions to regulate the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton, thus influencing cell shape, and often results in bipolar protrusive behaviors necessary for a cell to migrate.

B. Wnts (such as Wnt5a and Wnt11) can activate Disheveled by binding to a different receptor (Frizzled paired with Ror instead of Lrp5), and this Ror receptor complex phosphorylates Disheveled in a way that allows it to interact with Rho GTPases.

C. Wnt/PCP signaling through cytoskeleton control can direct cells to divide in the different plane ( forming upper and lower tissue compartments) and to move within that different plane.

D. the Wnt/calcium pathway leads to the release of calcium stored within cells, and this released calcium acts as an important secondary messenger to activates a phospholipase (PLC) whose enzyme activities release a compound that in turn releases calcium ions from the cytosol.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Several genes coding for enzymes associated with osmotic adjustment are turned on (up-regulated) by osmotic stress and/or salinity, and cold stress. These genes encode enzymes such as the following;
I) ∆′1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, a key enzyme in the proline biosynthetic pathway
II) myo-Inositol 6-O-methyltransferase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the accumulation of the cyclic sugar alcohol called pinitol
III) Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in glycine betaine accumulation
Given following statements of gene encoding enzyme is correct?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

There are the five groups of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins found in plants

Match the following groups of LEA protein with its functional information;

 Group (family name)

                           Functional information

 

I) Group 1

   (D-19 family)

 

 

a) It is an abundant protein in cotton embryos, Each putative dimer of this group may bind as many as ten inorganic phosphates and their counterions

 

 

II) Group 2

    (D-11 family)

 

b) Possibly functions in ion sequestration to protect cytosolic metabolism When LE25 is expressed in yeast, it confers salt and freezing tolerance

 

 

III) Group 3

     (D-7 family)

 

c) In tomato, a gene encoding a similar protein is expressed in response to nematode feeding

 

 

IV) Group 4

    (D-95 family)

 

d) Contains more water of hydration than typical globular proteins Overexpression confers water deficit tolerance on yeast cells

 

 

V) Group 5

    (D-113 family)

 

e) Often localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus More acidic members of the family are associated with the plasma membrane May act to stabilize macromolecules at low water potential
