[steroids] when receptor binds to DNA it's called a "___"
sequence specific interaction
the steroid binding site on the DNA is called ____
Hormone Response Element (HRE)
Glucocorticoid receptor react w/
glucocorticoid response element (GRE)

**it has a speicific seq. on the DNA that it interact w/.
Estrogen Receptor binds to
Estrogen response element
According to the Gel shift assay experiment for DNA binding the result shows that Progestones, androgens, mineralcorticoid, and glucocorticoid binds to the same DNA. So what detates specificity?
**Even they bind to the same DNA, steroid binding is diff.

**protein interactions--- target gene is different---> each have a diff transcription factor and each receptors interact w/ diff. kind of trancription factor.

**thus can have commun featurs, but diff. specificity
the 3 steroid receptor function domain are important and there are disease that relate to it. For example Androgen Insensitivity. what is that?
Mutations in the androgen receptor (AR) or in the functional domains.
what happen when the AR prevents expression or function?
the XY individual can not properly respond to the testosterone, and locks female on the outside (still have male organs inside the body)
So where does the mutations occure in Androgen insensitivity?
**one is the promoter-- which alters the expression.
**Defects in any of the three domain (steroid, protien, and DNA binding) indicates how severe it its.

**point is structure function is important
[GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS] give the pathway of high glucose level
high glucose level---> stimulate Beta- Islet cells of the pancreas--->produce insulin--->binds to receptors in the liver--->response = store glucouse and transport glucouse ---> produce glycosidic--> result reduce blood glucouse
[GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS] give the pathway for low blood glucouse
low blood glucose---> stimulates the alpa-slet cells (pancreas)--> produce glucagon---> glucagon binds to receptors in liver--->produce glucose---> incr. blood glucose
why is CAMP very important?
b/c its a secondary messenger
1. mediates the response
2. timing occurs prior to the response itself
where do you produce CAMP?
Adenylate cyclase
CAMP bindto PKA through and enzyme called ______
phosphodiesterase
phosphodiesterase brake CAMP to _____
5'--AMP (not good inactive product)
____ inhibits phosphodiesterase
caffeine
there are two types of phosphodiester? what are they?
1. one know down CAMP
2. Knock down CGMP ---> to 5'GMP
What patthway does viagra block?
Know down CGMP to 5'GMP

GTC--> CGMP --> 5' GMP

**isntead of lowering blood pressure, viagra keeps erection on longer inhibitiong Phosphodiester from breaking down CGMP
What happens if CGMP goes on for a long time?
you get blindness b/c the pathway of CGMP is in the rod cone of your eyes
[REPRODUCTION] reproductive glands/organ is called
gonads

*testes and ovaries
what is the roles of gonads
**produce gametes
**produce the reproductive steroids hormones
male produce what kind of reproductive steroids hormones?
testosterone
female produce what kind of reproductive steroids hormones?
dihyrotestosterone (DHT), estrogen, and progesterone
[MALE REPROD.] spermatogenesis occurs in the testes and this is called the ______
seminiferous tubules
in the seminiferous tubules there are many cell types. What are they?
**spermatocenic cells
**accessory cells
--leydig cells
--sertoli cells
leydig cells converts ____ to ____
cholesterol to testosterone
sertoli cells convert ___ to ____
testosterone to DHT
______ goes through the bridge
1st spermatocytes
On the other side of the bridge 1st spermatocyes undergoes _____
mieotic division
spermatogenesis is continous b/c of _____
feedback negative (the ability to keep a process in a constant level)
spermatozao get transported from the seminiferous and to to the ____ where it stays there for _____ days to mature
epididymous
20 days (can move)
Epididymous is a multple/single duct?
single
seminiferous tubules is a single/multiple duct?
multiple
In the ejaculatory duct there are several glands connected to it (seminal vessicle, prostate gland, bolbaurethral gland) together they help____
provide enzymes for fertilization and movement

**PH, suger (energy), ect
what is erection?
a vascular process due to arterial dilation nerve input
the erection process if controlled by Homone like _____
gas nitric oxide (NO)
NO regulates what
regulates GTP (convert GTP to CGMP)
Insulin and Glucagon are different. what is the differences?
**Glucagon
-raise blood sugar

**Insulin
-reduce blood sugar

**both are the negative feedback regulators
[More details of Insulin and Glugogen] Inulin is part of a _____ pathway and its receptor is called ____
generalize pathwath

Single Pass Transmembrane Receptor
How does insulin work?
Receptors (inactive, sits on the PM) have an enzyme (tyrosine kinase) in the Enoplasmic domain---> Insuline Hormone (IS) comes in and bind to receptor---> dimerize--> causes a change in R (b/f R move "free lateral diffusion; after hormones bind R has affinity for each other)---> activates the Tyrosine Kinase (its substrate is the other dimerize R molecules)---> R becomes phosphoralated---> allows the binding of signaling molecules---> response
Defects of tyrosin kinase or the insulin receptor can lead to
diabetic states
Insulin receptors also have substrates called IRS- 1. In this case IRS-1 get ______ and interact w/ _________ and lead to a response
phosphoralated

cell signalling molecules
What is the differences b/w IRS-1 and insulin receptors?
the active tyrosin kinase phosphoralate itself across the receptors and phosphoralted IRS-1 cause a response---> becomes a platform for cell molecules signaling binding

**have differen site of phophorlation
[study this right after Glucouse path way] Glucose on the other hand is different from insulin b/c _____
it interacts w/ a G-protein (in GDP form). and upon binding there's a GDP to GTP exchange.
The GTP move across and disociate from the recptor and binds to an enzyme called
Adenylate cyclase
Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to ____
CAMP
when you are hungry this pathway of CAMP (part of glucose pathway) is activated. CAMP is also involved in _____
water retention

**Cholera toxins
*keeping G protein in the active form making a lot of CAMP---> threfore you can't retain water
