Q

What happens when tyrosine kinase passes it signal to Ras?

A

the Ras drops the GDP it was holding, picks up a GTP, and then drops of into the cell

Q

What can PIP2 do?

A

it can cleave into phospholipids into Dag and turns into InsP3

17
Q

What can IP3 do?

A

It can open the ligand gated ion channel ON THE ER!!!

18
Q

What is there an absence of in GPCRs?

A

enzymes. no enzymes are used in this process

19
Q

How do GPCRs relay the message?

A

The have an alpha subunit that activates an amplifier enzyme some distance away

20
Q

What does GPCR stand for

A

G-Protein Coupled Receptors

21
Q

what are the two main GPCR pathways?

A

cAMP and PIP

22
Q

What does cAMP determine?

A

PKA activity

23
Q

After the GCPR receptor, what happens to the Alpha subunit?

A

It drops the GDP, binds GTP, and detaches and goes to activate an amplifier enzyme.

24
Q

In the camp pathway, what does the alpha subunit activate?

A

It activates adenylate cyclase

25
What is the role of adenylate cyclase
Catalyzes the conversion of ATP into cAMP
26
What does camp do?
It can activate PKA by binding to and releasing the regulatory subunit
27
How many times do GPCRs cross the membrane?
7 times
28
What two signallers are from the same family?
Ras from Tyr-K and a-subunit from GPCRs
29
What is the role of PKA?
It phosphorylates proteins, channels, etc.
30
In the PIP/IP3 pathway, what does the alpha subunit activate?
Phospholipase C
31
What is the role of Phospholipase C?
It cleaves IP2 into IP3 and DAG
32
What can DAG do?
It can activate PKC with the help of calcium
33
what does arachodonic acid lead to?
eicosanoids
34
Can calcium govern PKC by itself?
yes
35
What is the difference between cyclic amp and gmp structurally?
The NH2 group is on the top of the nitrogenous base
36
What does a DAG look like?
A phospholipid with the head chopped off
37
What does inositol trisphosphate look like?
Just a ring with phosphates off of it
38
What makes GRB2 a good adapter?
It has has SH2 and SH3 domains
39
What is the end goal of the NGF cascade?
To activate MAPK, which keeps BCL2 active
