Q

What is the activation process of a tyrosine kinase receptor?

A
  1. 2 EGF molecules bind
  2. Receptor rearranges conformation
  3. Conformational changes activate cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domains and tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular regions form SH2 binding sites
  4. Grb2 binds to phophorylated tyrosine residues and activate Ras-Map kinases cascade
  5. Cascade activates gene transcription factors
  6. Cell proliferation

Q

What does STAT2 stand for?

A

signal transducer and activator of transcription 2

17
Q

How are cytokine receptors activated?

A
  1. ligands bind and receptors dimerize, cross phosphorylation of kinases of the receptor occurs
  2. Phosphorylation and dimerization of STAT2
  3. STAT2 dimer is translocated to the nucleus
  4. STAT2 binds to DNA response element
  5. Gene transcription generates proteins
  6. cellular response
18
Q

Steroid nuclear receptors

A

steroid hormones
intracellular receptor located in the cell
inactivate genes
produced by endocrine glands

19
Q

Non-steroid nuclear receptors

A

non-steroid hormones
bind to receptors in the cytoplasm
directly activate genes
produces by nervous tissue

20
Q

Where are steroid hormone located?

A

the cytoplasm

21
Q

What are some ligands that are steroid hormones?

A

estrogen
progesterone
testosterone
cortisol
aldosterone

22
Q

What is an antagonist for estrogen?

A

Tamoxifen

23
Q

What is an antagonist for progesterone?

A

Mifepristone

24
Q

What are some ligands that are non steroid hormones?

A

thyroid hormones
retinoic acid
Vitamin D
free fatty acids

25
Q

Where are non-steroid hormones located?

A

the nucleus

26
Q

What is an antagonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)?

A

Clofibrate

27
Q

What does OR stand for?

A

nuclear hormone receptor

28
Q

what does RXR stand for?

A

retinoic acid receptor

29
Q

How are nuclear hormone receptors activated?

A
  1. steroid binds to steroid receptor in cytoplasm
  2. receptor dimerization and is transported to the nucleus where it binds with co-activators
  3. receptor dimer complex binds to and activates hormone response element binding protein (HREBP)
  4. HEBP recruiters RNA polymerase to make mRNA
  5. mRNA is translated by ribosomes to proteins
  6. proteins alter cell function
30
Q

How are non-steroid nuclear receptors activated?

A
  1. hormone enters the nucleus and binds to inactive heterodimer
  2. Co-activators displace co-depressors and activate receptor and activate HREBP
  3. HEBP recruits RNA polymerase to make mRNA
  4. mRNA is translated by ribosomes to proteins
  5. mRNA alters cell function
