Q

What are some characteristics of cell signaling?

A
  • enables transmission from outside of cell to nucleus

Q

What regulates the activation of signaling pathways?

A

activation of signaling pathways is tightly regulated by a variety of molecular mechanisms that efficiently terminate the signaling response

fix

43
Q

What are two classic ways in which signals can be terminated?

A
  • receptor internalization/down-regulatin (operates on a time scale a few minutes) (receptor is endocytosed, part degraded
    fill in
  • receptor desensitization (operates within milliseconds
44
Q

Receptor Internalization

A

upon ligand binding, activated receptors auto-phosphorylate and recruit ubiquitin-ligases (CbI). CbI ubiquitinates the receptor, leading to engagement of the endocytic machinery.
- autophosphorylated EGFR recruits proteins through its phopho- etc

Receptor Desensitization

A
  • operates within milliseconds to rapidly deactivate receptors
  • conformational changes induced by ligand to GPCRs recruit GPCR kinases (GRKs) which phosphorylate the GPCR C-terminal tail
  • this recruits arrestin which blocks G protein activation
50
Q

RD

A
  • activated GPCR stimulates GRK to phosphorylate the GPCR on multiple sites
  • ATP –> ADP
  • arrestin binds to phosphorylated GPCR
  • now desensitized

What do phosphatases do?

A
  • remove phosphate / oppose activity of kinases
  • catalyze the removal of covalent phosphate modifications on protein side chains to oppose the phosphorylation reaction catalyzed by kinases
54
Q

What are the two classes of phosphatases?

A
  • pSer/Thr phosphatases (there are 26)

- pTyr phosphatases (107)

55
Q

Example of phosphatases:

Shp1 and Shp2 are tyrosine phosphatases that do what?

A

they are recruited to activated receptors via their SH2 domains and dephosphorylate and inactivate RTKs

Ubiquitin-mediated degradation

A

fill in

  • ubiquitin is a conserved protein (small protein)
  • sites of linkage include the C-terminus, K48, and K63
  • linkage of the C-terminus to K48 orK63 generates polyubiquitin chains with different structures
  • K48-linked chains are targeted for proteasomal degradation
  • whereas, K63-linked chains target the substrate to different compartments (sorted into different compartments, ex endosomes)
60
Q

Ubiquitin mediated degradation

A
  • processive protein digestion by the proteasome
  • the proteasome cap recognizes a substrate protein marked by a polyubiquitin chain, and subsequently translocates it into the proteasome core where it is digested
  • ubiquitin is monomerized and recycled
