Q

Cell-cell communication
juxtacrine
endocrine
paracrine
synaptic
autocrine

A

juxtacrine: cell-cell contact
endocrine: hormones, low concentration, high affinity, stays long
paracrine: physically close together, high local concentration, low affinity binding, rapid
synaptic: nueronal, close synaptic, low affinity binding, rapid
autocrine: self, sender and target, low affinity binding, rapid

Q

RAS

A

activating protein is GEF and GRB2
activated RAS triggers MAP3K cascade
has conformational change depedning on GDP or GTP bound

Q

GPCRs

A

no enzyme activity
GEF: release of GDP is naturally slow so GEF increases GDP rate of release. Responsible for G protein activation

Q

Cytokine types

A

IL: secreted by leukocyte and acts on inflammatory response
chemokine: chemotactic activity like cell migration
TNFa: released upon infection by macrophages
Interferons: regulates signalling for virus/bacteria

16
Q

chemokine receptor

A

associated w/ immune disease and
CXCL8: chemokine secreted by macrophage that directs neutrophils

17
Q

selectin

A

weak reversible binding for sialyl-lewis X carbs for rolling adhesion

18
Q

ICAM-1

A

recruitment is mediated by cell-adhesion.
exhibits tight binding

19
Q

Type 1 + Type 2

A

pleiotropic and involve multiple recepter chains

20
Q

PI3K/Akt

A

anti-apoptotic

21
Q

JAK-STAT

A

signal transduction, activate transcription, transfers signal from cell membrane to nucleas

22
Q

RAS-MAPK

A

mitogenic cell proliferation
causes more cells

23
Q

Ga

A

activiation occurs on here

24
Q

Gai

A

inhibits adenyl cyclase and camp and pka
pka involved in glycolysis and gluconeogensis

25
Q

Gas

A

stims adenyl cyclase and camp and pka
pka involved in glycolysis and gluconeogensis

26
Q

Gq

A

PLC converts PIP2 to DAG and IP3
IP3 goes to IP3 to Ca2+
DAG goes to PKC

27
Q

G protein signal termination

A

GTPase converts GTP to GDP very slowly
RGS speeds this process up.

28
Q

DNA melting

A

regulatory step to seperate 2 DNA strands and initiate replication

29
Q

licensing

A

permitting proteins at origin or replication to being DNA replication
licensing must be limited to once per cell cycle

30
Q

MCM

A

mini chromosome maintenance complex

31
Q

replication preinitiation

A

CTD1 + CDC6 recruited to form preiniation complex
phosphorylation: releases CDC6 and CDT1 activated MCM helicase and phosphorylated form can no longer license the start of second round of DNA replication
after licensing factors are released
