Q

what are the 5 basic mechanisms for transmembrane signaling

A
  1. lipid soluble chemical signal (ligand) passively diffuses through the membrane and acts on intracellular receptor
  2. signal binds to extracellular portion of transmembrane protein and activates enzyme activity on the cytoplasmic side
  3. signal binds to extracellular portion of a transmembrane receptor that is bound to a separate protein (cytoplasmic side) –> signal
  4. signal binds to and directly opens an ion channel d/t ion shift
  5. signal binds to a cell surface receptor linked to an effector enzyme by a G-protein
