Development Signalling Pathway Summary Flashcards
Hedgehog ligands
Shh, Ihh, Dhh
Hedgehog receptor
Ptch
Hedghog transducer
Smo
Hedgehog output
Gli 1,2,3
Hedgehog mode
ligand binding inhibits ptch inhibition of Smo, so inihibitory Gli (3) is replaced by stimulatory Gli (1 and 2). Ratio of repressor to activator determines magnitude of output
Wnt ligand
20 Wnt
Wnt receptor
Frizzled (7)
Wnt transducer
Beta catenin
Wnt output
beta catenin & TCF/Lef
Wnt mode
cytoplasmic s/t phosphorylation complex targets beta catenin for destruction. If lignad binds, beta catenin is not degraded and goes to nucleus
TCF/Lef
transcription factor family turned on by beta catenin in the nucleus
TGFb/BMP ligands
> 20 TGFb/BMPs
TGFb/BMP receptor
Alk1-7
TGFb/BMP transducer
Smad
TGFb/BMP output
Smad
TGFb/BMP mode
lingand binds heterotrimeric S/T kinase receptor, causes phosphorylation of positive Smads, which multimerize with a coSmad and go to nucleus
