Cell M2: Module 1 Flashcards
signalling with the most distance between cells
endocrine signalling
signalling where cells are a distance away from eachother (not farthest away)
paracrine signalling
An enzyme that takes a phosphate group from an ATP and adds it to serine, threonine or tyrosine
protein kinases
frequent way of modifuing target proteins, involves the addtion of a phosphate group to a serine, threonine, or tyrosine
protein phosphorylation
protein dephosphorylation, where a phosphate group is cleaved, is acmmonplished by who
phosphatase
ionotropic receptors structure:
4-5 sububits grouped around central pore
charge amino acids form selectivity filter
G-protein coupled receptors
metabotropic receptors
GPCR structure
span membrane 7 times
structiure of enzyme linked receptors
extracellular domain for ligan binding
intracellular domain for enzymatic activity
what is the normal enzyme activity of enzyme-linked receptors
usually a kinase activity
what do receptor tyrosine kinases do
phosphorylate substrates into tyrosine residues
what does serine/theronin receptor kinases do
takes phsophate from substrate and give to ser/thr residues
what do tyrosin and ser/thr phosphatases receptors do
enzyme linked recepts that give phosphate to substrates that have had one taken from them–> returning them back to their original form
how do enzyme-linked receptors work
ligand binding to extracellular domain activators receptor for anzymatic activity
intracellular receptors are located where:
cytoplam or nucleus
what activates an intracellular receptor
ligand, a small lipophillic signalling molecule that has crossed PM
when not ligan bound what happens to intracellular recepts
attached to inhibitory proteins
what receptors move to nucleus after dishibition after ligan binding
plasmic (cytoplasmic) intracellular receptors
what is the purpose of intracellular receptors
once theyre in nucleus they can bind to DNA and act as transcriptiona modulators for DNA by effecting prevelance of specific genes
proteins that are able to bind to and hydrolyze GTP
Gproteins
Classes of G proteins
heterotrimeric, and small monomeric
what are heterotrimeric g proteins activated by
GPCR receptor
hat ar esmall monomeric g protein receptors activated by
receptors tyrosin kinases which phosphorylates substrates to obtain a phosphate and then lets go of an adaptor protein which activates GEF
What inactivates heterotrimeric G proteins? how?
GAP- by cleaving a phosphate group of of GTP
What does Gs have an effect on
activates adenylate cyclase
What does Gi have an effect on
inhibits adenylate cyclase
What does Gt have an effect on
Activates phosphodiesterase
what does acitvated Phosphodilipase C effect
diaclglycerol goes up
IP3 goes up
