Week 2 Class 2
Prior to Week 2 Class 2 – pp. 813-831 – can skip “Cells can respond abruptly to a gradually
increasing signal.”
Know
• That cell communication happens in all cell types
• That response to a signal requires a receptor and that there are cell-surface and
intracellular receptors
• What the four types of intercellular signaling are
o Contact dependent
o Paracrine
o Synaptic
o Endocrine
• What the major types of cell-surface receptors are
o Ion-channel-coupled receptors
▪ Involved in rapid synaptic signaling between nerve cells and other
electrically excitable target cells
▪ Mediated by small number of neurotransmitters that transiently open or
close an ion channel
▪ Most belong to a large family of homologous multipass transmembrane
proteins
o G protein couple receptors
▪ Act by indirectly regulating activity of a separate plasma membrane
bound-target protein
o Enzyme-coupled receptors
▪ Associate directly with enzymes that they activate
▪ Single pass transmembrane proteins with ligand binding site outside and
enzyme binding side inside
• What second messengers are, and some examples of second messengers
o Spread signals throughout the cell after the first internal response
o Ie
▪ cAMP and Ca2+ (water soluble, diffuse in cytosol)
▪ diacylglycerol (lipid soluble and diffuse in plasma membrane)
• What interaction domains are, in general, and specifically, what: SH2, PTB, PH, and SH3
domains are and what they interact with
o Interaction domains
▪ Causes assembly of a signaling complex
▪ Protein modules bind to structural motif in another protein or lipid
o SH2 and PTB
▪ Src homology 2 and phosphotyrosine binding
