4. _ _ (NO) _ where cGMP is a secondary messenger and is made by _ _ in two forms: receptor-activated form and nitric oxide (NO)-activated form
1 cAMP phosphodiesterase
2 glycogen phosphorylase kinase (GPK), calmodulin
3. kinases
4. nitric oxide synthase, guanylate cyclase
To turn off signaling: Rise of Ca2+ in cytosol that activate calmodulin as a co-factor for Nitric Oxide (NO) synthase:
e.g. Relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by NO and cGMP
1. NO is synthesized by the presence of _ and elevation of _ level
2. NO diffuses through tissues and activates NO receptor with _ _ activity in nearby smooth muscle
3 there is a rise in _ which activates protein kinase G
4 The muscle then _ and blood vessel _ occurs
1 acetylcholine, Ca2+
2 guanylyl cyclase
3 cGMP
4 relaxes, dilation
Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a second messenger:
- activates a family of _ _ _
- before hormone stimulation, (_) is soluble in cytosol
- rise in Ca2+ causes PKC to bind to inner leaflet of _ _
- once at membrane, PKC is fully activated by (_)
- thus, both _ and _ are needed for PKC activation
- activated PKC inactives _ _ and regulates _ _

1. _ _ _ (_) is activated to phosphorylate
2. DAG activates calmodulin which does 2 things:
1promotes _ _ to mediated by seconday messenger (_) increase
2 activates _ _ or regulating _ _.
