65
Q

1/3 of drugs act on GCPR, which are heterotrimeric (alpha, beta and y subunits)

What is the G-protein cycle?

A
  1. AGO binds and activates the GCPR
  2. Promotes release of GDP from alpha protein
  3. GTP then binds to nucleotide binding site
  4. Alpha-protein + GTP => causes G-protein to bind to the effector enzyme or ion channel.
  5. Hydrolysis of GTP -> GDP => signal terminated.
66

+ AC and Src tyrosine kinases

A

Gs

67

A

+ PLC CB

69
Q

G 12/13 does what?

A

+ Rho GTPases => Cytoskeletal rearrangements

70
Q

Describe the process of densitization.

A
  • AGO binds to cell => cAMP
  • Continued prescence will reduce cAMP ersponse after a few minutes.
  • If AGO is removed after a short time, cells revoer FULL responsiveness to an additional AGO “resensitization”.
    • Resensization does NOT occur if the cells are exposed to AGO repeatedly or for a long time
71
Q

What is the process of resensitization?

A
    1. AGO binds to a receptor => initiates signaling by promoting the receptor interaction with G protein
    1. GRK (G-protein-coupled receptor kinase) phosphorylates [AGO + receptor], preventing the Gs protein from binding to the receptor and promoting B-arrestin to bind.
    1. Receptor-arrestin complex bind to coated pits, which internalizes the receptor.
    1. AGO dissociated from internalized receptor => reduces B-Arr binding affinity, allowing phosphotase to dephosphorylate the receptor
    1. Receptor returns to plasma membrane
72
Q

What promotes the DOWN-regulation of a receptor, instead of densitization?

A

Following the processes that occured before, if the AGO does not dissociate from the internalized receptor => B-arrestin will stay bound => receptor is broken down by lysosomes.
