Q

GPCR steps

A

1) Ligand bind 2 R → GP bind to R
2) R change conformation & G P ACTIVATED
3) GDP→ GTP on alpha =DISSOCIATE
4) alpha interacts with EFFECTOR
5) alpha hydrolyse GTP → GDP
6) REASSOCIATION of subunits

Q

T/F cholera and pertussis have different outcome

A

FALSE → BOTH ↑ ↑ cytosolic [cAMP]

Cholera LOCKS Gs (stimulatory) in ACTIVE STATE (ATP) & BLOCKS GTPase activity

Pertussis LOCKS Gai in GDP-bound STATE (inactive)

Q

Mechanism of Cholera and outcome

A

LOCKS Gas (stim) in ACTIVE STATE with GTP

BLOCKS GTPase activity

= ↑ cytosolic [cAMP]

Q

what is the action is IP3

And DAG?

What is their effector protein?

A

IP3 → ↑ Ca++ release → PKC Activation

DAG → PKC activation → TF activation

Effector P = PLC (phosolipase C)

Q

RTK: PLC path

A

Same as Gq:
Breaks ↓ inositol phosophates to IP3 & DAG

DAG = PKC & TF 
IP3 = Ca++ & PCK

Q

RTK: PI3K path

A
RTK dimerizes → 
PHOS PI3-K → changes PIP2 to PIP3 
PIP3 acts PKB/Akt
PKB -inhibs- BAD/BID
BAD -inhibs- Bcl2
Bcl2 -inhibs - BAX/BAC
BAX forms pores in mito
Pores = activate caspase = cell SURVIVAL

Q

RTK: PI3-K path::

When ligand bound and path active, does that = cell survival or APOP?

A

Cell SURVIVAL

17
Q

RTK: GRB2 what is the fn & path

A

Fn = REVEAL DOCKING SITE 4 P’s

ligand bind RTK → GRB2 (Adapter) → SOS (GEF) → Ras (Effector)

RTK → GRB2 → SOS → Ras → Raf → Mek → MAP-K → response!

18
Q

RTK: GBR2 path simplified

A

Ligand → RTK → adaptor → GEF → GTPase → Effector

Specific = RTK → GBR2 → SOS → Ras

19
Q

In GBR2 path, what is the:

Adaptor, GEF, GTPase?

A
Adaptor = GBR2
GEF = SOS
GTPase = Ras
20
Q

Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus cause?

A

↓ reg of insulin R
↓ R PHOS & TK activity
↓ 2nd messengers in pathway

21
Q

Steroid H R’s
Where are the receptors?

What does H bind to? And what is unique about this type of signalling

A

INTRAcellular nuc R’s
All TF R’s will be in nuc or cytoplasm

Steroid H bind HRE in DNA →
ACTIVATES it DIRECTLY
