Chapter 16 Flashcards
what are the outcomes to cellular signaling?
Survival, cell growth (cell division), inhibition of growth, development (differentiate into something else), apoptosis, DNA synthesis, Protein synthesis, defense against pathogens, change in metabolism
Diabetes
Type1
• auto immune - beta cells in the pancreas, no insulin, dependent on insulin
Type 2
• make insulin- insulin resistant, no longer respons as well over 8% of the pop.
Both glucose intolerant- early warning sign
Signal Transduction Information pathways traveling
Long distance- endocrine-bloodstream
Local- Paracrine- extracellular fluid diffuse
Touching- contact dependent- physical contact
Self- autocrine- self
What are the essential parts and steps in a signaling pathway?
- Ligand produced
- Ligand travels to target cells
- Ligand binds receptor
- Signal passed from receptor to additional signal pathways
- Response (slow or fast)
- Ending the signal
Receptor Proteins
- Receptors bind to specific ligands-binding specific
- G protein coupled receptors and enzyme coupled receptors are examples of cell-surface receptors
- Some receptors are also enzymes (common: kinase, adds P)
- Ligand are hydrophobic and small (crossing membrane) (intracellular)
What are commonly found in the intracellular signaling pathway?
- Kinases
- Sm G proteins
- Adaptor
- 2nd messengers -Ca2+ and DAG to cAMP (sm molecules, bind and regulate)
Two types of receptor proteins?
Cell surface receptors
Intracellular receptors
Effector specificity- ligand receptor complex mediates a response specific to cell type
Intracellular Signaling
- Primary transduction
- Relay
- Transduce and Amplify-important -make signal bigger
- Integrate and distribute- CROSSTALK-signaling pathways dont exist alone
Leads to altered metabolism, altered cell shape or movement, and altered gene expression
What are essential to help turn proteins on and off?
Kinases and phosphatase through charges in phosphoralation status
What are three types of i2nd messengers in intracellular signaling?
- 3, 5’ Cyclic AMP (cAMP)
- 1,2 Diacylglycerol (DAG)
- Ip3I
Why are some signaling pathways slow and some fast?
Slow- makes new proteins
Fast- Alter existing protein
What do molecular switches do?
- Signaling by phsphorylation- SIGNAL IN kinase activates changing ATP to ADP(SIGNAL OUT) and then phosphates inactivates and loses a P and turns the signal off.
- Signaling by GTP binding protein - (SIGNAL IN) GTP binding activates and GDP out and GTP in, so signal on (SIGNAL OUT), then GTP hydrolysis inactivates and loses a P and turns the signal off
Termination of Signals
- Receptor sequestration (bring in receptor and turn off)
- Receptor down-regulation (bring in receptor and turn off) (degrading in lysosome)
- Reception inactivation (change at surface)
- Inactivation of signaling protein (change at surface)
- Production of inhibitory protein (negative feed back/ feedback inhibition) (change at surface)
Insulin Resistance
- Glucose intolerant, hypertenstion, obesity, dyslopidemia
* Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, pcos, cancer, fatty liver
Insulin Signaling
- insulin -peptide hormone -endocrine signal
* insulin receptor -tryosine kinase receptor
