cGMP/PKG System and Nitric Oxide Quiz 3

1- Soluble guanylyl cyclases
contain heme groups
are activated by guanylils
are homodimers
all of the above


2- Membrane-bound guanylyl cyclases have dimers with
ligand binding domains
transmembrane domains
C-terminus cyclase domains
all of the above


3- Not a regulator of the cGMP/PKG transduction cascade
nitric oxide
PKG inhibitors
ion channels
phosphodiesterase inhibitors


4- Nitric oxide
increases membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase activity
increases soluble guanylyl cyclase activity
its synthesis is activated by cGMP
all of the above


5- Reaction catalyzed by NOS
arginine NO + H2O + citrate
arginine NO + citrulline
citrulline NO + arginine
citrulline NO + H2O + arginase
