only inotropic glutamate receptor that can pass calcium

A

NMDA

37
Q

the 2nd transmembrane domain forms the ion pore

A

ionotropic glutamate receptors

38
Q

each subunit has a binding site, but they are not all for glutamate

A

ionotropic glutamate receptors

39
Q

ALL 4 binding sites of these receptors MUST be occupied for the channel to open

A

ionotropic glutamate receptors

40
Q

what needs to be bound for NMDA receptors to open?

A

2 Glutamate, 2 Glycicne

41
Q

What needs to be bound for AMPA receptors to open?

A

4 Glutamates

42
Q

Gage at which cell can understand how often it is working

A

NMDA receptor activity

43
Q

_________ receptors are blocked by a _________ ion. This block is _________ dependent.

A

NMDA
Mg++
voltage

44
Q

in long term potentiation how does the NMDA receptor open?

A

Depolarization of the neuron relieves the Mg+ block and the receptor can open to pass ions

45
Q

in long term potentiation after the NMDA receptor opens what ions are passed?

A

Ca++ and Na++ come into the cell

46
Q

What specifically leads to more AMPA receptors being inserted onto the synapse?

A

NMDA receptors pass calcium which ACTIVATES Ca MKII (calcium calmodulin kinase II)

47
Q

in long term potentiation there is also a __________ messenger that goes back to the __________ terminal

A

Retrograde, pre-synaptic

48
Q

what does having more AMPA receptors on the surface mean?

A

It is a stronger synapse

49
Q

What signals to the intercellular AMPA receptors to be inserted onto the pre-synaptic terminal?

A

Calcium Calmodulin Kinase II

50
Q

Coincidence Receptors

A

NMDA Receptors

51
Q

In long term potentiation first the _______ receptors are activated which then depolarize the neuron and causes the _______ to be relieved and activate the _________ receptors which then allow a __________ influx activating ___________ to signal to the neuron to insert __________ receptors on the surface of the neuron.

A
AMPA 
Magnesium Pore Blocker
NMDA
Ca++ and Na+
Calcium calmodulin kinase II
AMPA

58
Q

What is a primary factor in GPCR Desensitization?

A

B-Arrestin

59
Q

what causes B-arrestin to bind to the receptor?

A

A ligand bound to the GPCR for a prolonged period of time

60
Q

When B-arrestin binds it…

A

Tags the GPCR for internalization

61
Q

An internalized GPCR by B-Arrestin contributes to…

A

Drug tolerance

62
Q

The GPCR-B-Arrestin complex is brought inside the cell via an _________.

A

Endosome

63
Q

Three things that an endosome can do with the GPCR-B-Arrestin complex

A
  1. Degrade the complex
  2. cause an activation of signaling cascades from inside the cell that are INDEPENDENT of G Protein signaling
  3. Return the complex to the cell surface
64
Q

Time it take for B-arrestin to bind to GPCR

A

Seconds to minutes

65
Q

Time it takes B-Arrestin to internalize a GPCR

A

Minutes

66
Q

What is GRK? What does it do?

A

GPCR Kinase.

It adds a phosphate to the G-protein inside the cytoplasm.

This phosphate is what attracts B-Arrestin

67
Q

What to drugs that target the GRK (G protein coupled receptor kinase) do?

A

They can optimize agonist binding

68
Q

What is the main reason for the downstream effects of the cholera toxin?

A

Cholera toxin does not allow GTP to become a GDP resulting in A GPCR that is permanently on

69
Q

What is the GPCR that is permanently on when the cholera toxin is present and what are the downstream effects?

A

G alpha S - causes cAMP to increase dramatically.

This activates Cl- pumps which then release more Cl- into the intestinal lumen

Na+, K+ and HCO3- ions follow

H2O follows the ions to balance the osmolarity

Increased H20 in lumen = really bad diarrhea!
