if an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce gtp, what might happen to its signaling system? if an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce gtp, what might happen to its signaling system? it would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal. it would use atp instead of gtp to activate and inactivate the g protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. it would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger. it would not be able to activate and inactivate the g protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.



Answer :

If an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce GTP, It would not be able to inactivate and activate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane, and this can happen to its signaling system.

Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP) is a nucleoside phosphate which comprised of a ribonucleoside and 3 phosphate groups. It also means that it has ribose as its sugar and 3 phosphate groups attached.

The function of GTP is to generate a conformational change in a macro-molecule by binding to that. Since it is easily hydrolyzed by various GTPases, the use of GTP as a best-controlling element allows a cyclic variation in macro-molecular shape.
