Q

what is the importance of the dimerisation domain on nuclear receptors

A

receptors exist as monomers but dimerise with another ligand-bound receptor to become activated before entering the nucleus

Q

describe the mechanism of nuclear receptor activation

A
  1. ligand binding to receptor activates it, but it must dimerise with another activated receptor before it can enter the nucleus
  2. after dimerisation the receptor can cross into nucleus and can alter expression of genes
  3. alters mRNA expression and so alters protein synthesis

LBS 
pore?
A 
4 subunits
3 TMDs
extracellular N terminal 
intracellular C terminal
LBS on large loop of N terminal
inverted P loop between TMDs 1&2 which form the pore
21
Q

what are the LGICs permeable to?

A

inhibitory ones (GABA & Glycine) -> Cl-

excitatory ones (most others) -> Na / Ca2+ in and sometimes K+ out

22
Q

what aspect of the pore determines what ions can pass through?

A

the AA sequence and presence of ions (charge)

23
Q

list the main 3 GPCR subfamilies (and give examples for each)

A
  • Rhodopsin like (mACH, opioid, P2Y, all serotonin except 5-HT3)
  • metabotropic Glutamate receptor like ( GABA(B), mGluRs)
  • secretin receptor like (VIP, parathyroid hormone)
24
Q

describe structure of Rhodopsin like GPCRs

A
  • 7 TMDs
  • extracellular N
  • intracellular C
  • G protein coupling region loop between TMD 5&6
  • LBS small molecules (in TMDs)
  • LBS larger molecules on extracellular N terminal
25
Q

what structure are all TMDs

A

a helices

26
Q

describe structure of metabotrophic glutamate like receptor

A 
7 TMDs 
extracellular large looping N terminal
intracellular C terminal 
G protein coupling region loop on TMD 2&3 
LBS on large N terminal loop

found as dimers
the LBS will be found on one monomer and the G protein coupling region on the other

27
Q

briefly describe GPCR function mechanism

A
  1. ligand will bind, activating receptor causing it to interact with G protein
  2. GDP converted to GTP causing G protein to dissociate (a and By)
  3. a subunit will diffuse and interact with enzymes in cytosol etc
    By subunit can diffuse along membrane and act on ion channels
28
Q

why does the By subunit of a g protein remain near membrane?

A

lipidation of AAs in By subunit cause it to stay close to membrane

29
Q

list the two main types of intrinsic enzyme receptor families (and give examples)

A

receptor tyrosine kinases (insulin receptor)

receptor guanylyl cyclase (atrial natruiretic peptide)

30
Q

what are intrinsic enzyme receptors

A

receptors that when activated act like enzymes

31
Q

describe mechanism of intrinsic enzyme receptor activation

A
  1. ligand binding
  2. two ligand-bound receptors dimerise
  3. autophosphorylation - receptors phosphorylate eachother causing conformational change exposing the catalytic site of the receptors
  4. other substrates can then bind and be phosphorylates
32
Q

describe process of receptor synthesis

A
  1. DNA -> RNA in nucleus
  2. RNA -> mRNA in rough ER
  3. mRNA -> protein in smooth ER (where N glycosylation occurs)
  4. protein O glycosylation occurs in Golgi
  5. protein sorted by sort system `
33
Q

describe process of receptor sorting and trafficking

A
  1. all proteins have ‘sort sequence’ which allows their sorting by a sort system
  2. receptors are co transported with vesicles going to the same location, to where they need to be
    (along with their G protein if they are a GPCR)
  3. if the receptor is no longer needed or is damaged, it will travel back to where it originated from
    (this wont be coupled to the G protein if its a GPCR)
34
Q

how do rhodopsin like GPCRs and mGluRs differ?

A

rhodopsin has short N terminal mGluR has long N terminal

mGluR receptors often have to dimerise to become functional

their ligand binding is different
