Key Roles T3, T4




Mechanism

Regulation of body development


Govern rate at which metabolism occurs in individual cells.




Mechanism: Since they are hydrophobic (bind to receptors), they easily diffuse through and bind to cytosolic and nuclear receptors, forming Thyroid hormone-receptor complex and function as a TF to perform transcription and translation (long, long half life)


Influence gene expression

What contains the major cells for T3, T4 synthesis.

Thyroid follicular cells

Structure thyroid follicular cells

Tight junctions, preventing leakage


Microvilli line apical area of lumen


Pseudopods extend into lumen

Structure colloid

Thick proteinaceous gel like substance, colloid, composed primarily of thyroglobulin.

What are thyroid colloid cells composed primarily of?

Thyroglobulin

General formation of T3, T4

Iodination of tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin




Thyroglobulin -- 3 iodinations --> T3


Thyroglobulin -- 4 iodinations --> T4




T3, T4 -- pinocytosis from colloid into follicular cells --> finalize Thyroid hormone production

Mechanism T3, T4 transport

When needed, TG pinocytoszed back into follicular cells.


Bind to lysosome, peroxidase activity removes T3, T4 from TG


> DIT, MIT recycled (I recycled)


> T3 T4 released and bind to Thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) (80% T3 bound, 70% T4 bound)


> T3, T4 reaches site, ~ 40% T4 converted to T3


> T3 main physiological function

Function T3, T4

Important role CNS development during fetal and neonatal life and developing nerve cells in brain




In adults: Brain cells show little responsiveness to metabolic regulatory activities of t thyroid hormones

Thyroid hormone function, mechanism

Mechanism: T4, T3 enter cell.


T4 > T3


T3 binds to Thyroid receptor (TR)


T3-TR complex recruits RXR (9-cis retinoid acid receptor) and TR-T3-RXR complex binds to thyroid hormone response element (TRE)


Binding of TR-T3-RXR complex to TRE causes displacement of corepressor and recruitment of coactivator.


This results in transcription via RNA polymerase 2 to form proteins relevant to thyroid hormone






Function:


Normal body growth in children


Basal energy metabolism


Brain maturation during fetal growth (2nd trimester - birth)


Normal cell differentiation, development, body growth

T4 > T3 (5' Deiodinate)


T3 binds TR


T3-TR complex deterodimerizes with RXR


T3-T4-RXR complex is a TF that binds to TRE on DNA, displacing corepressor, brings coactivator increasing transcription




Lecture thought *
