Q

Where on the receptor are binding sites for signaling molecules located?

A

Within the extracellular loops. This is also a great target for drugs and can influence the ability of the G protein to produce a result.

Q

What happens when the first messenger binds to its receptor?

A

Intracellular calcium levels increase. Ca2+ is the second messenger and can enter through the membrane via Ca2+ channels or it can be released from the ER. (Calcium cannot be free in the cytosol because it can cause excitotoxicity- cell dies from over working itself).

Q

What is the role of a second messenger inside the cell

A

Modifies the signal, like a pansy scheme in reverse. (AKA it amplifies)
This is a slower ionotropic mechanism, but has a much wider effect with a low amount of stimulus.

Q

4 alpha G-protein subunit types and their role when activated by GTP (Transducers)

A

Gs- adenylyl cyclase stimulation (increase CAMP)
Gi/o- adenylyl cyclase inhibitor (ion channels inhibitor CAMP phospholipase)
Gq- Phospholipase C activation. (increase DAG and IP3)

Q

Structure of tyrosine kinase

A

Exists as a single unit molecule (inactive monomers), but when it becomes a dimer, it can add phosphate groups to serine or threonine residues on molecules. Can mobilize Ca2+ and bring proteins to itself.

Q

4 second messengers

A

cAMP, IP3, Arachindonic Acid (AA), and DAG

17
Q

Requirements for a first messenger

A

Must be external

18
Q

Calcium can be considered 2 things in a cascasde

A

Second messenger and a secondary effector

19
Q

cAMP system-

  1. External signal
  2. Receptor it binds
  3. Transducer
  4. Primary effector
  5. Second messenger
  6. Secondary effector
A
  1. NE
  2. B-adrenergic receptor
  3. Alpha subunit is Gs, which means it acts to increase cAMP.
  4. Adenlylyl cyclase
  5. cAMP
  6. cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA)
20
Q

Phosphoionsitol system

28
Q

Cyclooxygenase pathway (AA)

A

Produces prostaglandins, which have vascular and inflammation actions. Activates smooth muscle and regulates blood flow locally.

29
Q

Lipooxygenase pathway (AA)

Produces leukotrienes, which mediate allergic and inflammatory reactions.

30
Q

Role of prostaglandins

A

Activates smooth muscle and regulates blood flow locally. Has vascular and inflammation actions

Produced through the cyclo-oxygenase pathway.

Activated through the lipo-oxygenase pathway.

32
