Q

What is the general mechanism of hormone action?

A
  1. Hormone is recognized and binds to membrane receptor -> hormone receptor complex
  2. Hormone-receptor complex EITHER coupled to a signal-generating mechanism OR must act as one
  3. Generated signal (second messenger) affects intracellular process by altering activity OR concentration of functional or structural proteins

Q

How does intracellular receptor system work?

A

-uses cytoplasmic or nuclear receptors
-usually a slow response (hours

18
Q

What coupling molecule is used in ALMOST ALL membrane receptor systems?

A

G-proteins

19
Q

What are two second messengers?

A

CAMP
IP3/Ca2+

20
Q

Which second messenger is Adenylyl Cyclase linked to?

A

CAMP

21
Q

Which second messenger is phospholipase C linked to?

A

IP3/Ca2+

22
Q

What does cAMP produce and activate?

A

Protein kinase A

23
Q

What are intracellular proteins phosphorylation by?

A

Protein kinase A

24
Q

What is the Adenylyl cyclase system?

A
  1. Hormone binds receptor coupled by a G protein
  2. GTP binds G protein and activates Adenylyl cyclase
  3. CAMP produced and activates protein kinase A
  4. Intracellular proteins phosphorylated by protein kinase A, causing physiological actions
  5. Phosphodiesterase degrades cAMP, shutting down system
25
Q

(TRUE/FALSE) Hormones only use one hormone receptor system

A

FALSE

Some hormones use multiple hormone receptor systems

26
Q

Which hormones use the Adenylyl cyclase system?

A

CRH/ACTH
FSH, LH
TSH
ADH
Calcitonin
PTH
Glucagon

27
Q

What does phospholipase C liberate?

A

DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP3 from PIP2

28
Q

What does IP3 cause release of?

A

Ca2+

29
Q

What do Ca2+ and DAG activate?

A

Protein kinase C

30
Q

What are the steps of phospholipase C system?

A
  1. Hormone binds receptor coupled by a G protein
  2. GTP binds G protein and activates phospholipase C
  3. Phospholipase C liberates DAG and IP3 from PIP2
  4. IP3 causes Ca2+ release from ER or SR stores
  5. Ca2+ and DAG activates protein kinase C, which phosphorylation proteins
31
Q

What hormones use the phospholipase C system?

A

GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)
TRH (thrytropin-releasing hormone)
GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone)
Angiotensin II
ADH
Oxytocin

32
Q

What are catalytic receptors on the cell surface associated with?

A

Enzymes on intracellular side

33
Q

What are two additional compounds that use the guanylyl cyclase enzyme system?

A

Atrial natriurectic peptide (ANP)
Nitric oxide (NO)

34
Q

Describe the guanylyl cyclase enzyme system

A

GTP -> cGMP -> cGMP-dependent kinase -> phosphorylation proteins

35
Q

What do serine/threonine kinase enzymes need to phosphorylate serine and threonine?

A

Protein kinase A or C
Ca2+ calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMK)
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)

36
Q

What are hormones that utilize intracellular receptor systems?

A

Glucocorticoids
Sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone)
Aldosterone
Vitamin D
Thyroid hormones

37
Q

Which receptors do steroids use in intracellular receptor systems?

A

Cytosolic or nuclear receptors

38
Q

What are the three steps in steroid intracellular receptor systems?

A
  1. Steroid hormone diffuses across membrane and binds receptor in cytosol or nucleus
  2. Receptor undergoes conformational change, complex dimerizes and binds to SRE
  3. Complex is transcription factor—mRNA is transcribed, translation occurs, new proteins! Slay!
39
Q

How are tyrosine kinase-associated receptors defined?

A

Associate with other proteins that have tyrosine kinase activity—Janus kinase family

*intracellular portion cannot phosphorylate itself

40
Q

What are monomer vs dimer types? (Receptor tyrosine kinases)

A

Monomer-> receptor dimerizes after hormone binds—tyrosine kinase is activated and phosphorylated tyrosine on itself

Dimer-> receptor already a dimer (insulin and IGF)

41
Q

What are the three domains a receptor has?

A
  1. Extracellular domain for binding the hormone
  2. Transmembrane domain
    3 .intracellular domain -> where tyrosine kinase activity occurs
42
Q

What is so COOL about receptor tyrosine kinases?

A

Tyrosine kinase activity occurs WITHIN the receptor itself

*when hormone binds, intracellular portion of receptor phosphorylated itself
