Lecture 12: Signaling through immune receptors Flashcards
signal transduction is the process of _____ from outside source that activate ________ that are converted into ____ singals/responses
input signals; biochemical pathways; output
there are often _____ requirements since some outputs can be dangerous to a cell
threshold
the receptor/ligand is the ____
input
an example of an input threshold requirement is ________
receptor cross-linking or clustering; F(ab)2 BCR
Trimeric _____ released by NK and cytotoxic T cells binds to FAS and ______ it. Death domains cluster so Fas can recruit FADD. _______ recruit procaspase 8.
FasL; trimerizes; DED
Receptor signaling can be distributed to _____ or ______
cytoskeleton or nucleus
Signals to cytoskeleton impact ________, including ___, _____, and ____
cell morphology: cell shape, size, and mobility
Signals to the nucleus impact ______
gene expression: synthesis of new proteins, inducing cell division, proliferation, cell death
Protein kinases are enzymes that
catalyze attachment of phosphate
Protein phosphatases ______ phosphate group
remove
kinases add phosphate to 1 of 3 aa residues:
tyrosine, serine, threonine
______ catalyze attachment of a phosphate to a phospholipid
Phospholipid kinases
an example of phospholipid kinase
PI3K converts PIP2 -> PIP3
_____ carry kinase activity in the cytoplasmic tail of the surface receptor. They have an ____ activity. An example is FLT3 which is involved in hormone differentiation of CD34 cells to produce DC
Receptor tyrosine kinases; intrinsic
_____ noncovalently associate with intracellular tyrosine kinases on T and B cells
Nonreceptor kinases
propagation of intracellular signaling is mediated by ______
multiprotein signaling complexes
multiprotein signaling complexes can be common to several pathways and have distinct binding domains such as ___ and ___, which are generally found in _____ molecules
SH2/SH3; adaptor
SH is part of ____ homology (a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase)
Src
______ proteins (ex: LAT) are like power strip - many things can bind
scaffolding
______ proteins (ex: Grb2) link one protein to another (like a wall block)
Adaptor
_____ binds to SLP76. It makes a docking site complex for _____ during TCR signaling. It allows this molecule to be activated by phosphorylation by Itk
LAT; PLC-gamma
adaptor protein ____ recruits Sos via its ____ domain to an activated receptor that is tyrosine phosphorylated via its ___ domain
Grb2; SH3; SH2
Sos does activity on Ras as ____
GEF (guanine-nucleotide exchange factor)
SH2 binds in ___ format
pYXXZ (three aa away from phosphorylated tyrosine)
SH3 binds in ___ format
XPPXP (proline in 2nd and 5th position)
____ is a small G protein associated with pancreatic cancers
Ras
GTPases act as ______, triggered by GEF
on/off switch
Ras bound to ____ is inactive and is active when bound to _____.
GDP; GTP
