Q

Downstream effectors

A

G proteins couple to specific effectors:

Gq/11 = increased phospholipase C activity

Gs = increased adenylyl cyclase activity

Gi = decreased adenylyl cyclase activity

G12/13= regulates GTP exchange factors

Q

Biased signalling definition

A

The ability to direct a G protein–coupled receptor to
selectively signal through a G protein–mediated pathway or a β-arrestin–mediated pathway.

GPCRs may NOT always signal through G proteins!

The calcitonin family of peptides comprises :

-calcitonin
-amylin
-two calcitonin-gene-related peptides (CGRP1 and
CGRP2)
-adrenomedullin (ADM)

Q

CGRP receptors

A

Early studies revealed the existence of two “receptors”: CGRP1 and CGRP2.

The linearized CGRP analog [Cys(ACM)2,7]hCGRP was
found to be a potent agonist in the rat vas deferens bioassay, but not guinea pig atrial preparations.

Truncated peptide fragments hCGRP12–37 and CGRP8–37 had antagonist properties in atrial preparations but not in the vas deferens.

Q

CGRP receptors

A

Discovery of a “calcitonin receptor-like receptor” (CLR)
unresponsive to CGRP stimulation when expressed in cell lines.

In human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells cloned CRLR
CGRP produced a 60-fold increase in cAMP generation following blocked by CGRP8–37.

HEK293 cells endogenously express a protein that, when coexpressed with CLR, responded to CGRP.

Receptor activity modifying protein or RAMP
small (148-175-amino acid) proteins
single predicted membrane-spanning domain
large extracellular domain

Q

dimerization

A

Functional GPCRs are not always a single polypeptide

21
Q

Dimer formation in GPCRs

A

In neurones GABA produces rapid responses
through GABAA R and slower responses
through GABAB.

But expression of the gene encoding a GABAB
receptor (GABABR1) = fails to recreate native receptor

22
Q

Dimer formation in GPCRs pt 1

A

*immature glycoprotein on intracellular membranes

*low affinity for agonists compared with the
endogenous receptor

However co- expression with GABABR2 in HEK293T cells =

*GABABR1 is terminally glycosylated

*expressed at the cell surface.

*binds GABA with a high affinity equivalent to that
of the endogenous receptor.

23
Q

Dimer formation in GPCRs pt 2

A

The type C or III class of GPCR includes metabotropic glutamate, GABAB, calcium sensing receptor, pheromone and taste receptors.

In addition to the typical GPCR HD (heptahelical
domain), class-III GPCRs possess a large ECD
(extracellular domain) responsible for ligand
recognition

All members need to form DIMERS to be fully
functional

Dimer formation in GPCRs- Not just C type

A

AngII augments PGF contraction.
PGF augments Ang II contraction

Convergence of downstream Gαq-PLC-Ca2+ pathway?

L158, 809 = AngII Receptor Antagonist

AL-8810 & AS604872 = FP Receptor Antagonist

Symmetrical and asymmetrical regulation of
AT1R/FP signaling likely through the agency
of a heterodimer.

SLIGKV (h) or SLIGRL (m, r)
TFRGAP (h) or SFNGGP (m, r)
GYPGQV (h) or GYPGKF (m, r)

27
Q

Constitutive activity

A

The work on inverse agonist has led to the acceptance that many , if not ALL GPCRs are actually active in the absence of ligand.

The ligand tips the balance towards greater
turnover / greater coupling
