lectures 10-12 Flashcards
hydrophilic hormone steps
- bind PM receptors
- signal transduction pathways activated
- activate g-switch proteins/second messengers or tyrosine kinases
hydrophobic hormone steps
- diffuse through cell membrane
- activate cytosolic receptors, move to nucleus
effector protein
-usually last in signal pathway
-shuts off pathway
endocrine signalling
-epinephrine, insulin
-signal carried through blood vessels to target cell
paracrine signalling
-neurotransmitters, growth factors
-signal released to neighboring cells only
autocrine signalling
-growth factors
-cells respond to signals they produce
membrane protein signals
-direct cell to cell contact signalling
cAMP function
-secondary messenger from adenylyl cyclase by phosphodiesterase
-activates PKA
cGMP function
-secondary messenger from GTP by guanylyl cyclase
-activates PKG and cation channels
IP3/DAG function
-secondary messenger from PIP2 by phospholipase C
-open Ca2+ channels and activate PKC
water soluble secondary messengers
cAMP, cGMP
lipid soluble secondary messengers
IP3, DAG
kinase function
-phosphorylate proteins, activating them
phosphorylase function
-dephosphorylate proteins, deactivating them
protein kinase A activation
-Thr197 phosphorylated in activation loop
-promotes ATP and substrate binding
g-protein coupled receptors function
-activate g proteins
-GDP -> GTP
g-protein activity
-GTPase activity, hydrolyze GTP->GDP
