55
Q

Termination of Pathway by Ligand?

A

Concentration of Ligand

Presence or Absence of Ligand

56
Q

Termination of Pathway by GTPase?

A

GTPase hydrolyses the GTP into GDP. Once GTP is hydrolyzed, the G-protein reverts to its inactive state (GDP-bound), causing it to dissociate from the effector proteins and the GPCR.

57
Q

Desensitization?

A

Desensitization is a process by which a cell becomes less responsive to a stimulus after prolonged exposure to a signaling molecule, such as a hormone or neurotransmitter.

57
Q

RGS proteins?

A

RGS proteins accelerates process of Hydrolysis of GTP by GTPase.

58
Q

Desensitization in GPCR occurs through several mechanisms:

A
  1. Receptor Phosphorylation
  2. Receptor Phosphorylation
  3. Receptor Internalization
59
Q

Who phosphorylates beta-ARK?

59
Q

Receptor Internalization?

A

Desensitized receptors may be internalized into the cell, further decreasing their availability and responsiveness to the ligand.

59
Q

Receptor Phosphorylation?

A

After receptor activation, specific kinases (like GRKs) phosphorylate the receptor, which reduces its ability to activate G-proteins.

59
Q

Arrestin Binding?

A

Phosphorylated receptors can bind to arrestin proteins, preventing further G-protein activation and often leading to receptor internalization (removal from the cell surface).

59
Q

role of beta-ARK in desensitisation?

A

beta-ARK phosphorylates the activated GPCR at specific serine and threonine residues. This modification reduces the receptor’s ability to interact with and activate G-proteins.

60
Q

beta-ARK is recruited by?

A

G-βγ subunits

61
Q

beta-ARK phosphorylates the receptor at ?

A

specific serine and threonine residues at C-terminal.

71
Q

A2 perform?

A

72
Q

action of ADP Ribosylation on G-alpha in case of cholera (GPCR)

A

Cholera toxin transfers an ADP ribose group to a specific amino acid (typically an arginine) on the G-alpha subunit of Gs, preventing it from hydrolyzing GTP to GDP.

73
Q

Constitutive Activation

A

This modification locks the G-alpha subunit in its active GTP-bound state, causing continuous stimulation of adenylate cyclase.

74
Q

Effect of prolonged activation of protein kinase A, in intestinal cells?

A

In intestinal cells, this results in excessive secretion of chloride ions and water into the intestinal lumen, causing severe diarrhea, a hallmark symptom of cholera.

74
Q

Effect of Constitutive Activation?

A

cAMP level Increases
prolonged activation of protein kinase A

75
Q

Effect of prolonged activation of protein kinase A?

A

Acts on CFTR
Disrupts normal cellular functions.

76
Q

CFTR?

A

Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) is a protein that functions as a chloride channel in epithelial cells, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of salt and water across cell membranes.

The cysteine residues are involved in ?

A

The cysteine residues are involved in the structural integrity and function of the toxin, allowing it to effectively enter host cells and disrupt normal GPCR signaling by inhibiting Gi protein activity.

83
Q

Walker motif’s sequence with a consensus pattern ?

A

GXXXXGKS/T

83
Q

Stimulatory G-Protein (Gs)?

A

When GHRH binds to its receptor on somatotrophs, Gs is activated, stimulating adenylate cyclase to increase cAMP levels. This cascade enhances GH synthesis and secretion.

83
Q

Walker motif?

A

It refers to a specific sequence of amino acids found in G-proteins and some other ATP-binding proteins, crucial for their function. Walker motif is involved in the binding of guanine nucleotides (GTP and GDP).

84
Q

GPCR in somatotroph?

A

somatotrophs are regulated by the opposing actions of GHRH and somatostatin, which interact with GPCRs linked to stimulatory and inhibitory G-proteins, respectively.

84
Q
