[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.
