example signal transduction system
|
G-protein linked signaling system, Signal molecule (ligand) usually small hydrophilic molecules but odors hydrophobic, receptor molecules (large transmembrane protein, 7 membrane spanning segments), transduction systems (membrane associated heterotrimeric G proteins, membrane and cytosoli…
|
|
heterotrimeric G protein
|
has alpha, beta, and gamma parts, uses GTP and GDP( inactive when bound), alpha and gamma have lipid tail attached to membrane, and beta is not attached to membrane but is attached to gamma,
|
|
G protein process
|
signal bind to receptor, activates G protein by removing GDP and replacing with GTP (alpha disassociates from beta and gamma and becomes active with GTP, and beta and gamma active without GTP) and can now transduce signal thru the cell
|
|
target protein and G protein
|
g protein active when GTP is on alpha and when beta and gamma are dissociated from alpha, alpha can bind to target protein and activate it; if GTP is hydrolyzed then alpha inactive and beta and gamma associate back and become inactive,
|
|
example of g protein path
|
acetlycholine is signal and binds to receptor which activates G protein then beta-gamma complex opens K+ channel, if GTP hydrolyzed then become inactive again and so does K+ channel
|
|
sequence of events relay system
|
G protein consists of 3 subunits (alpha, beta, and gamma), when activated by receptor/ligand G alpha binds GTP and detaches from G beta/gamma complex and moves laterally thru membrane, G alpha and GTP can bind to and activate effector molecule
|
|
sequence of events : ending response
|
signal ends when GTP on G alpha is hydrolyzed to GDP, G alpha slowly hydrolyzes its own GTP and thus inactivates itself, G alpha and GDP reassociates with G beta/gamma complex and resumes inactive form
|
|
effector molecules
|
target down stream of G protein to biological output, common effector (adenylyl cyclase), catalyzes rxn ATP (cAMP), cAMP ( is 2nd messenger activates many different cytoplasmic processes), diffuses thru cytosol binds other enzymes and activates them, Protein kinase A (PKA) is activated by…
|
|
g protein process with 2nd messengers
|
signal (Ligand) binds to receptor (GCPR) then activates G protein and alpha binds to target protein then ATP makes cAMP and cAMP activates PKA and PKA activates phosphorylase kinase (proceeds down cascade)
|
|
PKA
|
protein kinase A, tetramer, 2 regulatory subunits (bind to cAMP) and 2 catalytic (phosphorylates), catalytic is separated from complex and phosphorylates after cAMP binds to regulatory subunits
|
|
example 2 of G protein process with cAMP
|
ligand binds to GCPR and activates G protein then G alpha binds to target protein then makes cAMP using ATP then cAMP activates PKA then proceed down cascade
|
|
intrinsic GTPase
|
random process where heterodimer is only on for a lil then GTP hydrolyzes to GDP, protein active for a lil then turns off, proteins can influence GTPase and slow it down or prolong it or speed it up
|
|
GCPR
|
C-terminus inside and N-terminus outside so it can bind to ligand (signal)
|
|
2nd messengers
|
small molecules, speed signaling, in signal amplification (acetylcholine), makes from one signal to lots of signals each step can amplify
|
|
Other Second Messenger Systems
|
Lipid Based: Phosphatidylinositol (PI) derived system
When activated, PI 4,5-bisphosphate is hydrolyzed into diacylglycerol (2 fatty acids and glycerol) and Inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (IP3)
Both products are second messengers and affect different parts of cell
|
|
G protein process with IP and diaglycerol
|
signal molecule binds to GCPR and activates G protein then G alpha activates Phospholipase C, which activates inosital phospholipid, which does two things, it activates diacylglcerol which attaches to PKC, inosital phospholipid also activates IP3 which opens the Ca 2+ channel that attache…
|
|
other 2nd messenger system 2
|
calcium ions (in resting 10^-8 and in stimulated cells its 10^-4), membranes impermeable to Ca ions and PM and ER actively transport Ca out of cytosol; opening of Ca ion channels allows Ca into cytosol; cytosolic response mediated by calmodulin proteins ( modulates Ca ion activity) go fro…
|
|
another major signaling system (RTKs)
|
receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKs), example insulin receptors, many RTKs are also enzymes when activated they phosphorylate specific tyrosine R groups on themselves and on cytosolic target proteins, they use a different G protein pathway
|
|
RTKs
|
single monomers until signal dimerizes them, alpha helix is in the membrane, tyrosine kinase receptor proteins are inactive until phosphorylates when ATP is hydrolyzed then relay proteins can bind to tyrosine receptors when tyrosine gets phosphorylated
|
|
Ras
|
a monomeric G protein that is in use in RTKs pathway, uses GTP when active and (GDP inactive), tethered to membrane by lipid tail
|
|
RTK path with Ras
|
signal binds to receptor and dimerizes RTK then tyrosine receptor proteins get phosphorylated and adaptor protein gets attached to site and Ras activating protein attached to adaptor protein and activates Ras by switching GDP to GTP on Ras, then Ras carries on signal transmission
|
|
MAP kinase and Ras
|
Ras activates MAP kkk by conformational change then MAP KKK activates MAP KK by phosphorylation then MAP KK activates MAP K by phosphorylation then targets downstream proteins [ if Ras is mutated then GTP always on (either hydrolization is slow or it lost ability to hydrolyze GTP) so it i…
|
|
RTK signaling without G proteins
|
don't need G proteins, RTK dimerize and Jak attaches then phosphorylated tyrosine then get adaptor protein and stat proteins (transcriptional regulators cause genes to be expressed or repressed), stats usually inactive if not phosphorylated so in cytosol Jak activates stat then dimerizes …
|
|
why is it hard to figure out what happens downstream?
|
messy, and complex
|
|
signal pathways
|
ancient paths, can swap parts with different species, few GCPR in plants don't have RTKs steroids or cAMP, animals an plants diverged before multicellularity because cell signaling is cell to cell interactions, communication
