Cholera toxin inhibits the ability of the $\alpha$ subunit of G_s to split GTP. If you treated cells with cholera toxin, the resulting effect would be _______ of adenylyl cyclase. A) stimulation B) inhibition C) molecular degradation D) increased synthesis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholera toxin modifies the Gs alpha subunit, preventing its GTPase activity. This leads to continuous activation of adenylyl cyclase, which results in increased cAMP levels and stimulation of adenylyl cyclase activity.
