NO pathway: what is the effector that causes muscle relaxation?
Protein Kinase G
How does NO synthase work?
NO Synthase is activated by Calmodulin

NO synthase takes arginine and oxygen and converts it to citruline and NO
No pathway start --> end
1. AcetylCholine is the ligand that activates GPCR

2. Activated G protein (GTP) acitvates PLC

3. PLC cleaves membrane phospholipid --> DAG & IP3

4. IP3 increases cytosolic Ca++ levels

5. Ca++ activates Calmodulin

6. Calmodulin activates NO Synthase

7. NO is produced, diffuses from Epiphelial cell to sm. muscle

8. NO activates cytosolic NO receptor which then converts GTP --cGMP

9. cGMP activates Protein Kinase G (PKG) which causes (Phosphorylates) relaxation of smooth muscle
Ligands for RTKs
soluble or membrane bound peptide or protein hormones

NGF,

FGF: Fibrogen Growth Factor

EGF: Epidermal Growth Factor

PDGF

insulin
What is HER2?

Where is it overexpressed?
HER2 is a Receptor tyrosine kinases

HER2 over expression is found in breast cancer
How are RTKs downregulated
endocytosis

dephosphorylation
General Activation of RTK
ligand binds receptor

causes dimerization & Trans phosphorylation of lip Tyrosines

Phosphorylation of additional Tyrosines that are now binding sites for cytosolic proteins
Ligand-induced dimerization of HER1
Epidermal Growth Factor is the ligand that activates HER1

Causes loops of subunits to interact --> forms homodimer
Which HERs can Homodimerize?
HER1 only
Which HER is not a kinase?
HER3
Which HER can't bind ligand directly?
HER2

is in a preactivated state

dimerizes w/ HER1, HER3, & HER4
RTK signal transduction proteins bind what on RTK?
Phosphorylated Tyrosines
What are 2 commonly conserved domains in signal transduction proteins of the RTK initiated pathway?
SH2 - found in GRB2

PTB
GRB2 conserved domains, what do they bind?
SH2-binds HER's P-Tyrosines

SH3 binds Sos' proline rich binding sites
what is Ras, & when is it active?
Ras is an intracellular GTPase switch

It is active when bound to GTP
Walk through of Ras activation pathway
1. EGF binds HER

2. HER dimerizes & phosphorylates lip Tyrosines

3. GRB2 (with SH2 & SH3 domains) binds HER & Sos

4. Sos now activates Ras by causing it to bind GTP
how does Ras activate MAP kinase?
RRMM

Ras --> Raf --> MEK --> MAP
in the Ras--> MAP which use ATP to phosphorylate & activate their targets?
Raf

MEK

MAP
what does MEK Phosphorylate
Activates MAP kinase by Phosphorylating 2 AA of lip

Tyrosine, then

Threonine

which promotes Kinase activity & dimerization
what & where are the targets for MAP kinase in the promotion of c-fos gene?
activates p90-RSK in the cytosol

TCF: Ternary Complex Factor in nucleus, MAP Phosphorylates a Serine of TCF
What must MAP kinase be to enter the nucleous?
Homo-Dimer
what & where does p90-RSK do?
Uses ATP to Phosphorylate SRF (Serum Response Factor) in nucleus

SRF is a Transcription Factor
walk through how MAP kinase activates the enhancer, SER (Serum Response Element), of c-fos gene
1. MAP Kinase Phosphorylates p90-RSK in cytosol

2. MAP Kinase Phosphorylates (dimer does 2) TCF in nucleus

p90-RSK Phosphorylates SRF in nucleus

3. TCF & 2 SRFs bind an enhancer region of DNA called SER, which promotes c-fos
what is c-fos?
an early gene for mitosis
Do yeast contain Receptor Tyrosine Kinases?
No
Ste20
binds cdc42, which is anchored to PM

Ser/Thr kinase

Phosphorylates Ste11
Ste11
binds Ste5 scaffold protein

Ser/Thr kinase

analogous to Raf
Ste7
binds Ste5 scaffold protein

Dual specificity: Theronine & Tyrosine

MEK
Fus3
(inactive) bound to Ste5 scaffold

after Fus3 is phosphorylated it goes to nucleus & phosphorylates Dig1 & Dig2, relieving their inhibition of Ste12

similar to MAP kinase
Walk through the mating pathway in yeast
1. ligand activates GPCR

2. G-alpha binds GTP & dissociates

3. G-beta/gamma bind Ste-5 scaffold protein

4. Kinase Phosphorylation cascade
Ste20--> Ste11 --> Ste7 --> Fus3

5. Fus3 then dissociates & goes to nucleus to Phosphorylate (Inactivate) Dig1 & Dig2 which dissociate from Ste12

6. Ste12 is now able to bind DNA & promote transcription of mating genes
what's the short of Osmoregulatory pathway?
High osmolarity activates a kinase cascade --> --> phosphorylating (activates) Transcription Factor Hot1 which promotes transcription of Osmoresponsive Genes
what Kinases are in both Mating & Osmoregulatory pathways ?
Ste20

Ste11
what are the membrane proteins in the Osmoregulatory pathway?
Sho1 & Msb1
What is the scaffold protein in the Osmoregulatory pathway?
Pbs2 is the scaffold protein
Pbs2
scaffold protein in Osmoregulatory pathway

binds active Sho1 membrane protein

contains MEK Threonine/Tyrosine dual spec kinase that phosphorylates Hog1

binds Ste11 & Hog1 kinases
walk through the Osmoregulatory pathway
1. High osmotic pressure activates membrane proteins Sho1 & Mab1

2. Pbs2 scaffold protein binds Sho1

3. Kinase cascade
Ste20 --> Ste11--> Pbs2's integral MEK --> Hog1

4. Hog1 translocates to nucleus & phosphorylates Hot1 transcription factor

5. Hot1 increases transcription of osmoresponsive genes
What is CREB?

Where is it Found?
cAMP Response Element Binding protein

it is a transcription factor that binds DNA segment CRE

CREB is only found in the nucleus
who activates CREB?
Protein Kinase A (PKA)
what is needed in addition to CREB to increase translation?
CBP/P300
walk me through the CREB pathway
PKA translocates into the nucleus & phosphorylates CREB using ATP

2 CREBs bind DNA at CRE & associate w/ CBP/P300 --> promotes transcription of enzymes that convert pyruvate back to glucose
