Surface Receptors Flashcards
four main types of surface receptors based on structure/function
- 7 transmembrane domain
- growth factor receptors
- cytokine receptors
- guanylyl cyclase receptors
(5.) novel cell surface receptor
GPCR N terminus
extracellular domain
- recognizes and binds to ligand, causes conformational change
GPCR C terminus
intracellular domain
- c terminus; hydrophilic; transduce signal via G proteins (interacts w G protein timer, always in cytosol)
what are the 7 hydrophobic segments that span the membrane of GPCR’s also called
serpentine receptors
GPR disease
Mutations in G protein receptors important
pathology in endocrine disorders; often need
homozygous mutation to have loss of function
since excess receptors; also, could have gain of
function, if mutation causes constitutive activation; a single point mutation may also alter binding specificity or receptor desensitization
pindolol
is a nonselective beta blocker
- receptor antagonist
iodocyanopindolol
is a b1 adrenoreceptor antagonist and a serotonin receptor antagonist
Gαs-AC Coupled Signaling step 1
1) Epinephrine binds
β-adrenergic
receptor with Gαs
Gαs-AC Coupled Signaling step 2
2) AC activated to produce cAMP
Gαs-AC Coupled Signaling step 3
3) cAMP binds to inhibitory
subunit of protein kinase A
(PKA) and releases enzyme
Gαs-AC Coupled Signaling step 4
4) PKA phosphorylates substrates
Gαs-AC Coupled Signaling step 5
5) CREB = cAMP response
Specific Disease of G Protein
Specific Disease of G Protein
Signalling: Cholera toxin
(bacterium Vibrio cholerae) blocks
GTPase activity of alpha subunit
and so cAMP stimulation constant
__ binds to consensus
___ in basal state, but when
____ is activated
to enhance transcription
CREB binds to consensus
CRE in basal state, but when
phosphorylated is activated
to enhance transcription
GTP
= guanosine triphosphate
GDP
GDP= guanosine diphosphate + free phosphate
(Pi = inorganic phosphate)
G proteins
- Heterotrimers, subunits = αβγ
- G-proteins identified by the α-subunit
– αs = stimulation of AC
– αi = inhibition of AC
– αq/11 = stimulation of PLC - α-subunit has GTPase activity
- β/γ act as a dimer
G protein Signaling General Mechanism step 1
1) Inactive complex
(associated
with receptor in
membrane)
G protein Signaling General Mechanism step 2
2) Ligand binds inducing
conformation change in
receptor
G protein Signaling General Mechanism step 3
3) Receptor-G protein
complex forms and
GDP dissociates from
alpha subunit
G protein Signaling General Mechanism step 4
4) GTP binds (GTP 10x>GDP in cytosol)
G protein Signaling General Mechanism step 5
5) Gα-GTP dissociate
from receptor and
beta/gamma subunits
