How do cells recieve and respond to signals

A

cells recieve sigs by interacting with cell signal molecues that transude signal and INDUCE a respose as result of signal

25
whats teh purpose of heatshock protein HSP90?
binds to GR in the cytosol and dissociates when cortisol comes along
26
Cortisol getting through membrane once it dissociates from CBG is an active or passive process?
passive
27
once cortisol binds to GR, what happens to GR
undergoes conformational change and dissociates from the cytosolic proteins that were inhibiting it
28
GR bound to cortisol heads to:
nucleus
29
In order to hook up with the DNA in the nucleus, the active GR-cortisol must:
dimerize
30
Dimerized GR-cortisol binds with: high/low/intermediate affinity to GRE
high affinity
31
GRE in DNA is:
Glucocortocoid response element
32
Glucocorticoid response element is variable/constant
constant region
33
GRE is an example of :
hormone response element
34
Hormone response elements are DNA sequences that bind
steroid receptos
35
Where do steroid receptors bind to hormone response elements?
near promoter of target gene
36
What is the result of binding an activated steroid receptor to a hormone response elelment on DNA target gene?
Can increase OR decrease transcription of target gene
37
Glucocorticoids are useful for:
anti-inflammatory agents d/t gene regulation
38
Ion channel linked receptor is

44
Ach uses wht kind of receptor
ion-gated or ligand gated with 5 subs
45
how many subunits does the Glutamate ligand have
4
46
Ionotropic receptors
directly control opening and closing of channel
47
directly control opening and closing of channel
Ligand gated
48
Activation of ion channel linked receptors are slow or rapid activating
rapid with rapid signaling

Nicotinic subunits inclue:
alpha 1, and 2, Beta, gamma, delta
51
What binds to nicotinic receptors?
Ach
52
where does Ach bind to on nicotonic receptors
on the Alpha units which causes opening
53
What happens when Ach binds to alpha subs on nicotinic receptors
selective influx of CATIONS
54
Cation influx as result of Ach binding to nicotinic receptors induces:
depolarization and excitation
55
Ach is what kind of NT
excitatory: causes depoarlization
56
Where are nicotinic recpetors located

57
What is our primary postsynaptic INHIBITORY NT in the CNS

7
64
The GPCR is for: The Heterotrimeric G protein is for: The Effector is our:
- provides specificity - Coupling or transducer - catalytic componenent to generate 2nd messenger
65
What links our GPCR to the effector enZ
the heterotrimeric G protein (has the alpha subunit that dissociates from teh beta/gamma via GTP-->GTP)
66
Transducer of the GPCR system
heterotrimeric G protein
67
What part of GPCR sytem provides specificiy?
GPCR
68
Heterotrimeric protein has two states: GDP bound = GTP bound =

69
Which subunit of heterotrimeric protein binds to GTP and interacts with effecto
Alpha subunit
70

hydrolyzing GTP--> GDP via GTPase activity
71
which subunit on G protein has GTPase activity
alpha sub
72
What part of G protein is bound to membrane
beta/gamma and inhibits alpha subunit
73
When a Gprotein is activated by a GCPR we go from an inactive to active state...how?
releases the GDP from alpha subunit and picks up GTP on alpha subunit--> alhpa dissociates
74
When alhpa is bound to GTP what will it do
dissociate from beta/gamma--> go to effect to transude the message
75
How are heterotrimeric G proteins classified
by the type of alpha subunit in heterotrimer
76
Different Galpha subinits will
target different receptors and target dif effectors
77
G-alpha-S will:
stimulate adenylyl cyclase (on test)
78
