RECEPTORS
- Super Families of Receptor Proteins
- Plasma Membrane
- ligand gate ion
channels
- eg nicotine and
acetyl choline
receptors
- G Protein coupled
receptors
- aka signal proteins structure: 7 helices with N terminal on outside
- Binding site on inside usually closed, ligand binding
causes conformational change to open this
- G protein (alpha beta &
gamma) binds to inner
bindng site
- Alpha usually has GDP
(guanosine diphospate) which is
then replaced GTP on activation
- Gamma and beta separate
- alpha inactivated when
its own phosphoryating GTPase or protein phosphotase
activity turn GDP to GTP
- G protein subunits recombine and
attach to cell membrane
- alpha activates adenylate cyclase to produce cyclic AMP
- (secondary messenger) can go on to
activate protein kinase A which activates
phosphorylation of theorine and serine
in other enzymes( glycogen to glucose)
- DRUGS
- Beta adrenergic
receptors switched on
by adrenaline
- B1 open calcium channels
- B2 close channels - asthma - relaxing smooth muscles
- Muscuranic receptors
-cholinergic receptors
on smooth muscles
and cardiac tissue
- agonists switching on GI
after surgery
- antagonists
close GI after
surgery
- shaking in parkisons
- tyrosine kinase
receptors
- contain intra, extra &
transcellular membrane
- cytosolic intracellular
- nucleur hormone receptors
- involved in every major organ and
metabolic system eg bone, muscle,
hormone mediated cancer, homeostasis,
sexual and embryonic development
- 2. binds receptor- conformational change
- 1. ligand crosses membrane
- 3. dimerisation
- 4. proteinsythesis
- 5. binds to coactivator protein
- 6. complex transloacates to nucleus and binds
to specific region of DNA
- initiates
transcription- directly
involved in gene
expression
- single protein steroid binding
region near C terminal and
DNA binding region near N
terminal
- DNA binding region =
zinc fingers 9 cysteine
residues, 8 contain zinc
to stabilise structure
- dimer- both need to be activated-
identifies particular nucleuotide sequence
- for steroids and
thryroid
- DRUGS
- Glucocorticoid receptor: using adrenal
gland extracts (cortisone) for allergy
treatment. Abused by athletes.
- Progesterone Receptor:
control ovulation
- Oestrogen receptor: using
oestradiol for fertility control
and breast cancers
- oestrodiol = steroid effect growth and development
- H12 folds across binding site
which then exposes Activation
Function AF2 (hydrophobic) after step two
- Tamoxifen for breast cancer-
prevents binding of oestrogen
to its receptor
- can be classified based on
pharmacological activity
(drug/ligand) nature here
classified by structural
pathway
- Signal transduction process
- Receptors = proteins receive endo/exodogenous signals
- including hormones,
neurotransmitters, local
chemical mediators eg
prostaglandins
- Bind with high affinity, causing conformational change
- Chemical signal transferred to intra cellular message
- Drugs & Receptors
- ANTAGONIST
- competitive or
non competitive
- binds to receptor
but does not exert
effect on cell
- AGONIST
- partial or full
- exerts effect
on cell
