  6. radioactive GTP-gamma-s
    * quantify activation of GPCR receptor
    * when agonist bind to the receptor> exchange of GDP to GTP
    * radioactive GTP-gamma-s , Alpha subunit will be loaded with this
    * final phosphate group is not connected to oxygen, rather to a suphate –> conseqnce can NOT be hydrolized (alpha subunit now is permanently bound to the GTP-g-s)
    * purify and quantify the radioactivity
    * any effector will be penanently switched on
  7. Cholera toxin
    * bacteria that causes cholera
    * irreversibly activates G-a-s
    * add sugar group to the G-a-s subunit, causing the alpha subunit to be permanently active. cannot hydrolized
    * massive cAMP increase
    * increase upregulation of CFTR, increase Cl- in water into the gut, diaeorrhea
  8. Pertussis toxin
    * irreversibly activates Gai and Gao
    * add sugar group to the alpha subunit

Q

Collision coupling theory vs precoupling theory

A

Precoupled theory
> GPCR and the g proteins are precoupled

Collison theory
> GPCR and the g protein are NOT precoupled
>Only come together when the receptor is in active configuration
> potential for more diversity in the signalling
>so single receptor can couple to multiple g protein

Q

FRET analysis by Hein et al 2005

A

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer
CFP - FRET donor put on the g protein (bg subunit)
YFP - FRET acceptor was put on the receptor GPCR

cyan and yellow fluorenscent protein

  1. Measure emission of yellow light by YFP
  2. Shine light that can make the CFP emit blue light
  3. Measure intensity of blue and yellow light
  4. Add nerepinephrine NE
  5. measure yellow light
  6. YFP can only emit yellow light by receiving blue light from the CFP. So, YFP can only emit yellow light when in close proximity/ coupled

result of the experiment

  1. without NE, they can only visualise blue light,
  2. add NE, they can now visualise the yellow light
  3. insert graph here (blue low, yellow high, yellow/blue high)
  4. without ligand, GPCR and the G protein are not precoupled ( missing yellow light)
  5. after ligand binding (NE) yellow to blue light ration drastically increase suggesting that the receptor and the g protein are now closer toether and coupled

Q

Catecholamine receptor

A

[NE and Epinephrine (noradrenaline and adrenaline receptor)]

couple to Gas

increase cAMP

18
Q

Lefkowitz 1997

  • a cardiologist in New York
  • research on GPCR (B-AR)
  • treatment for heart disease
A

studying Beta Adreno Receptor (B-AR)

evidence that GPCR can couple to multiple G proteins and multiple signalling pathway

19
Q

Beta Adreno Receptor (B-AR)

A

Can cause
1. increase in cAMP, PKA
and also
2. activate MAPK (erk) pathway

20
Q

what is the evidence that GPCR can couple to multiple G proteins and multiple signalling pathway

A

Lefkowitz 1997 ( SWITCHING OF THE COUPLING OF THE B2-AR TO DIFFERENT G PREOTINS BY PROTEIN KINASE A PKA)

result of the experiment
EARLIER 
1. B-adrenoreceptor couple to Gs
2. increase cAMP -> increase PKA
3. PKA phosphorylate its B-AR receptor
LATER
4. The phosphorylation of the receptor cause the B-AR to switch to couple to Gi 
5. beta-gamma subunit then increase the activity of src,sos,ras
6 increase activity of MAPK

in a TIME-DEPENDENT MANNER

21
Q

context specific of signalling pathway?

A

signalling pathway activated by receptors in a cell is CONTEXT SPECIFIC
different cell, locations , condition result in different signalling pathway
result in greater control

SPECIFIC SIGNALLING is controlled by

  1. scaffold protein
  2. lipid
  3. endocytosis
  4. splicing
  5. post translational regulation
22
Q

RGS protein

A

Regulator of G protein signalling

small g protein like RAS and RAF ( they have activating and inhibiting protein)

works kinda lliddat

23
Q

What molecule can regulates receptor function?

A

GRKs and B-arrestin

24
Q

Desensitisation of GPCR

A
  • KEY EVENT THAT restrict THE SIGNALLING

1) homologous desensitisation
> receptor activated by the agonist, act on their receptor to inhibiti the receptor function

2) heterologous desensitisation
- receptor being activated impacts on another type of receptor

insert diagram here

agonist + receptor -> activated receptor 1 + GRK ( GPCR kinase, disrupt coupling of GPCR and g protein by phosphorylating the serine residues on the carboxyl terminus of the receptor) -> arestin-receptor complex [arrestin+ligand+receptor comples] -> a) endocytosis b) loss of GPCR coupling [HOMOLOGOUS desensitisation]]

ACTIVATED RECEPTOR 1 –(another pathway)–> activation of PKA, PKC etc -> phosphorylate RECEPTOR 2,3,…etc to cause reduced in G protein coupling [[[ HETEROLOGOUS DESENSITISATION]]]

25
Q

GRK?

A

PLECKSTRIN HOMOLOGY DOMAIN in GRK
G protein couple Receptor Kinase
is a serine-threonine kinase
phosphorylate the serine residue at the carboxyl terminal of the receptor and disrupt coupling with the g protein

when receptor is activated, g protein active, bg subunit will dissociate form the receptor, after a long time will bind to GRK due to PLECKSTRIN HOMOLOGY DOMAIN in GRK

next&raquo_space; beta arrestin bind to the GPCR

26
Q

Beta arrestin

A

ARRESTS SIGNALLING
attract machinery of endocytosis so that the receptor will be internalised
a)carboxyl terminal will be dephosphorylated
b)agonist come off from the receptor

NEXT

1) degradation
2) recycled

2 isoform , b-arr1, b-arr2 ( most famous)

27
Q

Concern with opioid / morphine-like drug teatment

A

problem with tolerance

experiment : measure of pain-relief

  • people with repeated drug, curve shift to the right
  • more opioid / increase dose to get the same result for pain relief

WITHDRAWAL EFFECT

[[Mechanism underlying the tolerance with opioid]]

with increase use of the drug, we will be losing the receptor (internalisation of the receptor)

lower the receptor reserve, shift the curve to the right

28
Q

Lefkowitz 2000, b-arr2 knockout mouse

A

a) gave the animals continuous low dose
b) repeated high concentration at high frequency

next, assess anaelgesia

WT - in 5 days, anaelgesia almost gone ( curve downward)
KO - no tolerance, maintai %MPE

KO- remove b-arr2, tolerance is removed

29
Q

What caused tolerance with opioid and morphine like drugs?

A

Desensitisation at the level of beta arrestin 2 and GRK and trafficking

BARR2 - continuous admission of morphine and opioid drug caused desensitisation of the receptor by internalising the receptor after BARR-Receptor binding. the receptor will then be degraded or recycled to the plasma membrane

30
Q

opioid tolerance and addiction

A

they are different pathway

because mice that does not develop tolerance towards opioid drug STILL develop addiction to the drug

31
Q

Different agonist regulates desensitisation and internalisation

A

do experiment

32
Q

Desensitisation occur at what point

A

Desensitisation occur at the point of

1) receptor is phosphorylated and can no longer signal to the g protein

33
Q

What impact the internalisation of GPCR?

A

Depends on

1) which kinases
2) which amino acid being phosphorylated

next

which protein association and which signalling pathway

34
Q

We can classify the receptor depends on what happen after internalisation

A

1) CLASS A
- rapid b-arrestin falling off the receptor and rapid dephosphorylation
- The receptor will be sent to degradation or sensitisation
- eg. mu-opioid receptor

2) CLASS B
- remain longer in the endosome
- such as the angiotensin receptor
- slow recycling and slow degradation

35
Q

GRK

A

only phosphorylate agonist bound receptor

36
Q

Beta arrestin

A
  • act as adaptor proteins for endocytic machinery
  • provide scaffold for endocytic machinery
  • as scaffold and adaptor protein to extend the signalling capacity of the receptor
  • important domains in the beta arrestin include SH3 and SH1 domain (domain for many sign. pathway such as RAF/mapkkk), clathrin ( endocytosis), JNK(other MAPk),
37
Q

Beta arrestin

A
  • act as adaptor proteins for endocytic machinery
  • provide scaffold for endocytic machinery ( bringing signalling molecules together)
  • as scaffold and adaptor protein to extend the signalling capacity of the receptor
  • regulation of transcription to produce long term changes in cell fx
  • important domains in the beta arrestin include SH3 and SH1 domain (domain for many sign. pathway such as RAF/mapkkk), clathrin ( endocytosis), JNK(other MAPk),
38
Q

What other signalling molecule binds to beta arrestin 2?

A
  1. c-SRC
  2. ERK
  3. PP2A –| Akt
  4. Ikb –| NF-kB
39
Q

What are the signalling molecue that binds to GRK

A
    • | MEK1
    • | Raf1
    • | Akt
  • -> PI3k –> RReceptor encocytosis
40
Q

What are the signalling molecue that binds to GRK

A
    • | MEK1
    • | Raf1
    • | Akt
  • -> PI3k –> RReceptor encocytosis
41
Q

From clinical point of view, what pathway is more favoured?

A

Since most agonist show biased ligand, (some biased for beta arrestin signalling pathway, some biased for the receptor -like G-ai), we want ligand that shows bias toward the receptor G-ai

because G-ai will increased anaelgesia ( pain relief)

we want to ideally have a ligand or agonist that shows no bias at all towards beta arrestin 2, which signalling pathway cause respiratory depression, nausea and constipation
