Receptor: changes conformation to allow substances channel down concentration gradient |
channel-linked receptor |
|
Receptor: a coupled one, not an enzyme, but bound to one that can hydrolyze GTP to GDP |
G-Protein coupled receptor |
|
Receptor: causes the phosphorylation of proteins |
enzymatic receptor |
|
Receptor: binds to hydrophobic ligands |
intra (inner) cellular receptor |
|
Receptor: Estrogen, Progesterone, Nitric Oxide, and Vitamin D can bind to a |
intracellular receptor |
|
Receptor: Insulin, light, and extracellular growth factor can bind to |
Membrane receptor |
|
Alpha subunit of G-protein activated by |
replacing GDP with GTP |
|
the cellular response to ligand is made through the combo of |
calcium and calmodulin |
|
When acetylcholine receptor sites aren't occupied, the sodium channel remains |
closed |
|
When acetylcholine binds to the receptor sites, the sodium channel remains |
open |
|
How does a sodium ion (Na+) enter an opened cell channel in an sodium potassium (Na-K) pump? |
Na-K pump has previous high concentration on outside of the cell from diffusion of sodium ions |
|
nicotine is chemically similar to the acetylcholine, which means the sodium channel |
opens |
|
Lipid soluble hormones diffuse through the |
cell membrane |
|
the advantage of a signaling molecule entering a cell, binding, and activating a receptor to induce DNA transcription is |
quick gene expression |
|
intracellular receptors are found |
in the cytoplasm/nucleus |
|
extracellular receptors are found ... the cytoplasm or nucleus |
outside |
|
gene expression steps |
1. Hormones cross plasma membrane and bind to cytoplasmic receptors2. Hormone binding after receptor conformation to avoid binding of inhibitor3. Hormone-receptor complex translocates to nucleus4. Hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA, which can also turn on/off transcription5. cellular response is change in gene expression. |
|
Proteins: Epinephrine binding to its receptor activates a |
G protein |
|
How can epinephrine have different effects on cells? |
Different cells have different receptors, and can activate different enzymes to bind epinephrine. |
|
acetylcholine causes a slow heart beat through an enhancement from a mutated |
G-protein, and any inhibitors of its phosphotase activity |
|
cAMP isn't considered a second messenger because it's made from |
ATP |
|
Epinephrine binds to the cell membrane of liver cells using a |
Beta-adrenergic receptor |
|
Epinephrine binds to protein kinase A and activates |
G protein |
|
when epinephrine activates a G protein, it also activates |
adenylyl cyclase |
|
Signaling: if epinephrine is produced by central nervous system, it's a part of |
endocrine signaling |
|
cAMP is produced by |
the action of adenylyl cyclase |
|
cAMP is synthesized |
from ATP |
|
cAMP acts as a |
second messenger in many different cell types |
|
Epinephrine elicits/cause a system wide response through |
Oxidation of glucose to make ATP needed for muscle contractions. |
|
angina pain is treated with |
nitroglycerine |
|
Proteins: A single cell surface receptor can activate many ... |
G proteins |
|
To conversion of ATP to cAMP is catalyzed by the enzyme ... |
adenylyl cyclase |
|
Theenzyme phosphorylase catalyzes the conversion of |
glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate |
|
Intracellular receptors bind to n... sequences |
nucleotide |
|
Easiest cell signaling molecule to cross cell membrane |
small and lipid soluble |
|
Intracellular receptors usually contain binding sites for |
both DNA and signaling molecules |
|
The enzyme ... adds phosphates to specific proteins |
a-kinase |
|
Binding of a signal molecule to a cell surface receptor activates a G protein, which also activates |
phospholipase C |
|
signal receivers that act as enzymes and regulators of gene expression are |
receptors |
|
Gene regulation step 1 |
Hormones cross plasma membrane and bind to cytoplasmic receptors |
|
Gene regulation step 2 |
Hormone binding after receptor conformation to avoid binding of inhibitor |
|
Gene regulation step 3 |
Hormone-receptor complex translocates to nucleus |
|
Gene regulation step 4 |
Hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA, which can also turn on/off transcription |
|
Gene regulation step 5 |
cellular response is change in gene expression. |
|
Receptors: phosphorylation changes other protein functions of cell through the |
kinase receptor |
|
a kinase receptor stuck in the "on state" causes cancer through |
overgrowth of corrupted cells |
|
when a protein becomes phosphorylated, it |
changes function |
|
Kinase mechanism 1: the removal of phosphate is |
dephosphorylation |
|
Kinase mechanism 2: destruction of an enzyme or response protein is caused by |
internalize by endocytosis |
|
If a receptor "turns on" its link, G protein, this means G protein functions as a |
switch |
|
Cells: Ca2+ stimulates muscle contractions to |
skeletal cells |
|
Cells: Ca2+ stimulates hormone secretion to |
endocrine cells |
|
Production and Secretion: Epinephrine causes |
glucose production and liver secretion. |
|
Oxygen is given through increased |
respiration and blood flow. |
