According to the Switching mechanism, monomeric G proteins exist in two states. Match the following states (Column I) with correct mechanism (Column II).

Column I

Column II

A. “ON” state 

i. switch I and switch II, are bound to the terminal γ phosphate of GTP through interactions with the backbone amide groups of conserved threonine and glycine residues.

B. “OFF” state

ii. GTPase-activating proteins

 

iii. guanine nucleotide exchange factor

 

iv. Due to the removal of the γ phosphate by GTPase-catalyzed hydrolysis causes switch I and switch II to relax into a different conformation

The following steps refer to various stages in transmission at a chemical synapse.


1. Neurotransmitter binds with receptors associated with the postsynaptic membrane.


2. Calcium ions rush into neuron's cytoplasm.


3. An action potential depolarizes the membrane of the presynaptic axon terminal.


4. The ligand-gated ion channels open.


5. The synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
