GPCR: 7 membrane
spanning alpha
helixes with ligand
binding site
Cytosolic surface
Trimeric G protein: Galpha,
Gbetagamma. Held to PM by
lipid anchors
Galpha: GTP binding
activated by GCPR
GEF activity which
exchanges GDP for
GTP
Activate Adenylyl Cyclase to make
cAMP (2nd messenger)
cAMP binds and
removes 2
regulatory
subunits from
PKA thereby
activating PKA
Skeletal muscle: glycogen
phosphorylase -->
breakdown of glycogen
ATP used for muscle
contraction
Transported to nucleus to
regulate transcription by activating CREB
(slower effect)
Makes mRNA and
proteins (longer lifetime
and effect)
cAMP Structure: ATP loses ppi and
adenylyl cyclase catalyzes bond from 5'
p to 3'OH.
cAMP phosphodiesterase breaks
3' to make AMP (lose effect).
Causes finite lifetime of signal
Bound to Palmitoyl (anchor)
G-a has intrinsic GTPase that cleaves GTP to limit activating effect
Cholera toxin inhibits GTPase on Ga so it is continuously active
Continuous activation of cAMP
cAMP opens the CFTR (cystic fibrosis) Cl- channel which is an
active transporter that PUMPS OUT Cl - (using ATP) into the intestinal
lumen
As Cl- and other ions leave the cell, water leaves the cell into
the lumen to balance the osmolarity (concentration of solute
difference) leading to diarrhea
Cholera
toxin is an
AB toxin
B subunit binds to GMI glycolipid and is
activated by A subunit (proteolysis) to
enter the cell - A1 is the toxin made of
NAD+ that ADP ribosylates the G-a
GaI = A2 GPCR - inhibit adenylyl cyclase
Gas = B - activate adenylyl cyclase
Gaq=A1 - Activate PLC
GBY &
Galpha Q
activates
PLC
(Muscarinic GPCR acetylcholine
receptors in cardiac cells), Gbg
activates K+ channels until Galpha
phosphorylates GTP --> inactivation
K+ flows out of cell rapidly -->
low [K+] intracellular --> slows
contraction rate of heart
step 1: signal reception
leads to dimerization of
monomers that activates
enzymatic function of
RTK = tyrosine kinase
(phosphorylate tyrosine)
Variation: direct association with an enzyme
step 1: dimerization of 2 nonidentical
receptors by extracellular signal
binding
step 2: association and activation of
cytoplasmic enzyme --> signal
transmission via enzyme activity.
First target of RTK = dimer binding partner
Autophosphorylation of dimer on
several tyrosine residues
enzymes or adaptor proteins
bind to phosphorylated tyrosines
on RTK
Autophosphorylation
to make pY
modifies dimer binding partner
activate enzymatic activity or
make 2nd messenger
RAS - monomeric G protein (gtp-ase) anchored
to cytoplasmic PM that is activated by RTK
and activates other proteins
PIPL used in GPCR
triggered phospholipase C
pathway
PI3 kinase is activated by RTK
Converts IP2 to IP3 (PIPL)
PIPL docks AKT (ser/thr protein kinase)
Protein kinase 1 attaches
to PIPL in PM and
phosphorylates to AKT
Partial activation of AKT
Protein Kinase 2 in cytosol and
phosphorylatees AKT
Full activation of AKT
Activated AKT phosphorylates protein
BAD and releases BCL2 from BAD
BAD - when
unphosphorylated is a signal
for apoptosis.
Activation of BAD
is REMOVAL OF
ACTIVITY
BACL active when not bound to BAD
(when BAD is phosphorylated) and
signals for cell growth
Activates TOR "target of Rapamycin= anticancer drug" (ser/thr kinase)
TOR inactivates a TOR inhibitor
reduces protein
degredation
Promotes
protein
synthesis
NOTE: when tor is active, it promotes
growth, and destroyed inhibitor which
would cause protein loss
PI3K have SH2
domains activated by
pY on RTK
Phosphorylation of PI 4,5 bp to PIP3
PIP3 is recognized
by PH (pleckstrin
homology) which
activates PKB
PKB stimulates GLUT4
translocation to the
PM, as well as
activates glycogen
synthase
RTK pY binds SH2 domain
of Grb2 which then activates SOS (a RAS GEF)
SOS exchanges RAS GDP for GTP -->
activation of RAS
RAS GTP activates RAF(MAPKKK)
MAPKK kinase phophorylates MANY MAPK kinase (MEK)
MAPK Kinase (MEK) phosphorylates MANY MAP kinase (ERK) activates
many MAP - Mitogen Activating Proteins (specific kinases and
transcription regulators) to go through the cell cycle
Cell proliferation
RAS - monomeric G protein
(gtp-ase) anchored to
cytoplasmic PM that is
activated by RTK and
activates other proteins
Insulin binds
Insulin receptor
activating IRS-1
which binds
GRB2 also to
activate SOS
IRS-1 also
activates PI3-K
by binding to
SH2 domain
Dimer (bound
transiently
depending on
affinity
noncovalently) lasts
as long as signal is
bound
Others
Jak-Stat
Dimer receptor activated upon binding of cytokine
Activation of receptor activates JAK - an extrinsic kinase "Janu's Kinase"
Jak phosphorylates the receptor
Jak phosphorylates STAT - a protein
with an NLS that will go to nucleus to
control gene transcription
Function as
immunomodulator or
regulator of cell growth and
differentiation; can induce
differentiation and
inflammation (paracrine) or
fever (endocrine)
Ser/Thr Receptor
binding of ligand activates intrinsic kinase
Autophosphorylation of receptor
Phosphorylation of SMAD - a TF for gene regulation
