Cell Signaling Flashcards
Receptor recycling can be undergone via two methods
Fast (Rab4) or Slow (Rab11)
Receptor destruction can be undergone via
Late Endosomes (Rab7, Rab9) and Lysosome (Lamp-1)
Gs
Signal molecule ligand
Stimulates Adenylate Cyclase
GTP hits AC to activate cAMP–>PKA—> P downstream
Gi
Signal molecule ligand
GTP hits AC to inactive cAMP
Gt
Light signal molecule
GTP hits cGMP phosphodiesterase to activate cGMP–> 5 GMP
Gq
Signal molecule ligand
GTP hits Phospholipase C which splits it into IP3 and PKC.
IP3 opens Calcium channel, activates PKC via Ca and also activates calmodulin.
Gs physiological ligands
Epinephrine and B-adgrenergic receptor and Histamine
These are stimulations
Gi physiological ligands
Epinephrine/norepinephrine and alpha-adrenergic receptor and Dopamine
Gq ligand
acetycholine
Gt ligand
Light
Epinephrine or B adrenergic receptor binding to GPCR causes
Relaxation of bronchials and intestinal smooth muscle Contraction of heart Breakdown of TGL Breakdown of glycogen Glycolysis
Histamine binding to GPCR causes
Bronchoconstriction and symptoms of allergy reactions
How does cGMP PDE inhibitors work?
They increase conc. of cellular cGMP which prolongs its effect. Smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation.
Cholera toxins
Prevents inactivation of Gs
Add ADP ribosylation to Gs, always active GTPase, AC hyperactive, Making lots of cAMP activating CFTR, Cl- channels open. Loss of electrolytes and water, diarrhea.
Pertussin toxin
Prevents act. of Gi. Less inhibition of AC and over production of cAMP. Whooping cough
