Q

G protein signalling general mechanisms (8)

A
  1. Inactive complex
  2. Ligand binds creating a conformation change in receptor
  3. Receptor g-protein complex forms and GDP dissociates from alpha
  4. GTP binds
  5. G alpha -GTP dissociates from receptor and beta/gamma subunits
    6a. G alpha-GTP acts on the effectors (eg. PLC, AC)
    6b. beta/gamma can also act on effectors
  6. Intrinsic GTPase of alpha converts GTP to GDP
  7. Subunits re-associate (repeat)

40
Q

G alpha s-AC coupled signalling steps (5)

A
  1. Epinephrine binds beta-adrenergic receptor with G alpha s
  2. AC activated to produce cAMP from ATP
  3. cAMP binds to inhibitory subunit of PKA and releases enzyme
  4. PKA phosphorylates substrates
  5. CREB binds to consensus CRE
41
Q

A

Protein kinase A

42
Q

CREB

A

45
Q

A

They block GTPase activity of alpha subunit and so cAMP stimulation constant

46
Q

What are the agonistic effects of epinephrine? (chain reaction= AC, cAMP, PKA, proteins)

A

The activation if AC leads to the activation of cAMP which activates PKA which leads to increase activity for phosphorylation of proteins

47
Q

What causes the phosphorylation of CREB?

A

PKA

48
Q

What happens after the activation of PLC?

A

Releases PIP2 and causes the release of Ca for the sER and increase of calmodulin and free Ca as a 2nd messenger in the cell

49
Q

What is PIP2?

A

Minor phospholipid component of the cell membrane

50
Q

G q -PLC coupled signalling steps (4)

A
  1. Ligand binds receptor with G alpha q
    2a. PIP2 is cleaved to IP3; releasing Ca from ER to cytoplasm; DAG is formed
    2b. DAG may come directly from phosphatidylchlorine cleavage
    3a. Ca activates PKs; promotes secretion = causes contraction
    3b. DAG activates PKC
  2. PKC numerous substrates effects the nucleus
51
Q

What do c-jun and c-fos make up?

A

They make a heterodimer which makes an important TF through activating AP1
- important in growth, cancer and oncogene

52
Q

Desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor in g protein signalling steps (4)

A
  1. Activation of receptor and AC
  2. Phosphorylation of receptor by BARK
  3. Inactivate AC; arrestin binds when pylated and clocks associated with G protein
  4. Phosphatase’s remove phosphate from receptor, allows g protein association and activation of AC
53
