Name two upstream signaling pathways that can activate canonical NF-kB signaling.

You are studying a newly described receptor called GPR100. Your collaborators have circumstantial physiological data in mice suggesting that this receptor can activate PLCb (leading to Ca++ release from intracellular stores) and can also activate ERK-MAP. You have screened for ligands that bind to GPR100 and found two molecules that binds to the receptor and you termed them UC2024 and UC2025. You know nothing about how UC2024 and UC2025 may affect GPR100 signaling. Design experiments to determine if UC2024 and UC2025 function as an agonist, antagonist, or inverse agonist and also design experiments to determine if these ligands are biased in any way?

BCL-3 is an atypical (noncanonical) IkappaB molecule. Provide two reasons below as to why BCL-3 is considered an atypical IkappaB.

Choose one of these two questions. Start your answer with the number you have chosen. Your answer should be 1-2 paragraphs (4-10 sentences).  Choice 1: After reading about the definition of culture, how has your own understanding of culture evolved? Why do you think cultural relativism is important when studying different societies? Can you think of a situation from your own life or something you’ve witnessed where cultural relativism helped you understand a different perspective? Choice 2: Culture is made up of various elements such as language, norms, values, beliefs, and customs. Think about the culture you are most familiar with. Choose two specific elements of culture (such as language, food, rituals, or social norms) and explain how they shape the daily lives and interactions of people in your community. Provide concrete examples of how these elements are practiced and what they reveal about the values or beliefs of the culture.

Choose one of these two questions. Start your answer with the number you have chosen. Your answer should be 1-2 paragraphs (4-10 sentences).  Choice 1: Symbols play an important role in shaping culture and communication. Think about a symbol that is significant in your life—whether it’s a family tradition, an object, or something from your community. What does this symbol represent to you, and how does it shape your understanding of your culture or identity? Now, compare this symbol to one from a different culture you’ve studied. How might the meaning or use of this symbol differ across cultures, and what does that tell you about how symbols help to convey shared values or beliefs? Choice 2: Language is a powerful tool for shaping identity and culture. Think about a specific word, phrase, or way of speaking that holds personal significance to you, whether it’s something from your family, community, or cultural background. How does this form of language shape how you see yourself or how others perceive you? Now, consider how language might function differently in another culture you’ve studied. How might the use of language in that culture influence social interactions or group identity? What do these differences teach you about the role of language in human societies?
