What are some examples of non-membrane associated receptors?
Steroid Receptor

Retinoic Acid Receptor

Nitric Acid Receptor

Other Transcription Factors
cholera Toxin
ADP-ribosylation Gs1-alpha -->

Inhibits GTP disassociation from Gs1-alpha --> causing it to continually activate Adenylate Cyclase

this affects signaling in the intestinal track
Pertussis Toxin
ADP ribosylation of Gi-alpha inhibits GTP binding-->

can't turn off AC
can't turn off PLC --> increased IP3 & DAG --> increases Ca++ --> increased PKC activity -> constriction of sm. muscle
Gs2-alpha
involved in olfactory sensory signal transduction
Gi-alpha
3 subtypes

Inhibits

AC

PLC

K+ channel
G0-alpha
not affected by toxins
Gx-alpha
neuronal cell expression

Activates PLC

K+ channel closing
Heterotrimeric G proteins are
transducers
how is the beta-gamma G protein subunit anchored?
Isoprenoid
talk to me about GPCR
Integral membrane protein

7 membrane spanning domains

Conserved Cys has thioester linkage w/Palmitic that forms loop which interacts w/hetrotimeric G proein
How is G-alpha attached to membrane?
myristic amide linkage to amino Glycine
how could you measure Adenylate Cyclase activity?
measuring amount of cAMP sytnesized from ATP
what is special about GTP-gamma-S
it's a non-hydrolyzable GTP

Activates Heterotrimeric & Small GTP binding proteins (smg)
what can be used to activate Heterotrimeric & smg Gs/Gi ?
GTP-gamma-S

Aluminum Fluoride (NaFl + AlCl3)
What can be used to inactivate Heterotrimeric & smg Gs/Gi ?
GTP-beta-S
Cholera toxin does what in the intestines?
causes Gs to stay active

--> increasing cAMP -->

keeping PKA active -->

disrupts Cl- transport into cell

--> water & Na loss --> even greater water loss
what hydrolyzes cAMP?
phosphodiesterase

cAMP --> AMP
what inhibits phosphodiesterase?
Caffeine
PKA
2 regulatory & 2 catalytic subunits
regulatory stay together

Targets Ser & Thr --> Arg-Arg-X-Ser
other than cAMP, what else can regulate PKA?
Peptide inhibitors that contain pseudo Phosphorylation sites

Type 1: R-R-X-not Ser/Thr/Tyr
Type 2: R-R-X-S
These kinases unfold from Regulatory Subunits
PKG

Myosin Light Chain Kinase (MLCK)
activates MLCK
Calmdulin (which needs Ca to work)
Walk through what happens when epinephrine binds receptor
1. Epi binds Beta-adrenergic receptors activate G
Walk through the Epi pathway
1. Epi binds Beta-adrenergic receptor activates Gs-Alpha

2. Gs-alpha-GTP activates AC --> Gs-alpha-GDP

3.AC increases cAMP levels

4. cAMP activates PKA

5. PKA increases cytosolic leves of Glucose
PKA activates Glycoten Phosphorylase
PKA inactivates Glycogen Synthase 2 ways
a. directly phosphorylating Glycogen Synthase
b. Activating Phosphatse Inhibitor (Phosphatase removes P from Glycogen Synthase --> activating it)

PKA activates CREB (who needs CBP/P300) to increase transcription of enzymes that
convert pyruvate back to glucose
Beta Anergenic Receptor (feed Forward)
PKA P-lates Beta-anergenic receptor --> desensitizing it (quick Neg feedback & homologous desens)
How does Protein Kinase C (PKC) get activated?
Ca++ & DAG activates PKC

PLC cleaves out IP3 & DAG
IP3 opens Ca++ channels
How is PKG activated?
cGMP causes regulatory subunit to unfold
what are 2 types of desensitization?
HOMO

Hetero
Homologous Desensitization
desensitization due to the presence of the activating ligand for that receptor
Heterologous Desensitization
desens due to an activating ligand of a different receptor
How is the beta Anergenic Receptor regulated?
Desensitized
--> PKA instant
-->beta ARK

Up regulated by PKA --> CREB increases transcription of beta-AR min-hours
what kind of kinase is PKC?
Ser Thr

multiple genes/splices

tissue specific expression
How is PLC activated?
Different ligand activates beta AR stimulates different G protein

Gq binds GTP & activates PLC
How would you know if PLC is in a pathway?
monitor levels of IP3 &/or DAG in response to GTP-gamma-S
Calmodulin & Troponin both have
Ca++ binding EF hand loops
2 main categories of Ca binding domains
Extracellular

Cytosolic
Extracellular Ca binding proteins
Ca binding increases thermal stability & resistance to proteaolysis
Cytosolic Ca binding proteins
reversibly binds Ca

modulates activity
Helix-Loop-Helix
loop 12 AA-w/conserved Gly & phobic AA

7 Oxygens bind Ca-w/5 being COO-
Calmodulin regulates
MLCK
MLCK P-lates
myosin causing muscle to contract
Troponin
binds Ca & muscles flex
Annexin inhibits
PKC by direct interaction
How do you characterize signal transduction pathway?
1. Physiological response to ligand/stimulus

2. ID ligand & receptor & purify/ID genetically

3. Use inhibitors/activators to ID players

4. Determine identity of interacting proteins

5. talk to researchers working on different but similar projects
