Bartling Pt. 2 Flashcards
intrinsic enzymatic activity receptors are ligand ____
ligand triggered protein kinases
intrinsic receptors form dimers upon
dimers upon ligand bonding
phosphorylation activates
other protein kinases
ion channel receptors change confirmation from
ligand binding
ion channel receptors allow specific ions to
flow through channel
botulinum toxin affects ion channels directly/non directly
not directly
botulinum toxin prevents release of
acethylcholine neurotransmitter
botulinum toxin cleaves proteins involved in
docking of neurotransmitter vesicles
intracellular/extracellular calcium concentration gradient
100nM/1mM
calcium gradient enables rapid changes in Ca concentration via
hormone ligation
calcium binds to
calmodulin (induces conformational change)
calmodulin: two globular domains joined by a
long alpha helix
calcium/calmodulin complex binds to and modifies
target kinase proteins that initiate signal cascade
PIP2 is second messenger responsible for
responsible for calcium mobilization
PIP2 is hydrolized by
phospholipase C (PLC)
