• Ligands

• signaling molecules (ex: hormones, ions, nuerotransmitters, etc.)

• Receptors

• proteins imbedded in the plasma membrane or in the cell that respond to signaling

ligands

• The 4 types of signalling by extracellular molecules (animals)

• endocrine

• paracrine

• autocrine

• signaling by plasma-membrane attached proteins

• Endocrine (extracellular signaling)

• hormone released by endocrine cells and carried through the blood stream to distal

target cells

• Paracrine (extracellular signaling)

• signaling molecules only affect target cells that are close to the secreting cells

• Autocrine (extracellular signaling)

• cells responding to substances that they themselves release

• Signaling by plasma-membrane bound proteins

• membrane-bound proteins from two different cells interacting

• signal amplification

• a small signal produces many cell responses

• two common classes of plasma membrane receptors

• G-protein coupled receptors

• Protein kinase receptors

• Intracellular receptors

• inside the cell..... duh

• G-Proteins

• -guanine nucleoside binding protein

• -switches from active to inactive depending on the GTP hydrolyzed

• -GEF: guanine nucleotide exchange factor changes from GDP to GTP

• -GAP: GTPase-activating proteins (hydrolyzes the GTP

• G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR)

• -contain 7 transmembrane domains

• -ligand binds to the extra cellular portion causing a conformational change on the

cytosol part which activates the attachement of the G-protein

• alpha, beta, and gamma subunits --> dissociation of alpha subunit once ligandis bound

• What happens after the alpha subunit dissociates from the G-protein?

• alpha subunit FTP complex binds to and activates adenylyl cyclase and synthesizes

cAMP

• After the GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP, the alpha subunit dissociates and leaves adenylyl

cyclase to revert to its inactive form

• (GDP bound alpha subunit re-associates with beta subunit)

• cAMP molecules are hydrolyzed to AMP by the phosphodiesterase

• cAMP

• cyclic AMP created via adenylyl cyclase

• Activation of Protein Kinase A by cAMP (3)

• composed of 2 regulatory and 2 catalytic subunits. regulatory subunits inhibit catalytic

subunits in the absence of cAMP

Document Summary

Intracellular receptors inside the cell duh: g-proteins. Switches from active to inactive depending on the gtp hydrolyzed. Gef: guanine nucleotide exchange factor changes from gdp to gtp. Gap: gtpase-activating proteins (hydrolyzes the gtp: g-protein coupled receptors (gpcr) Phosphorylation of the tyr of the innercellular matrix. Cascade signalling of map that signals gene expresssion across nucleus tubulin heterodimers are the building blocks: microtubules (and 2 types, axonemal, 2. cytoplasmic, axonemal microtubules. One alpha tubulin and one beta tubulin form a dimer called alpha beta tubulin dimer. Protofilament is a linear polymer (going up) of alpha beta tubulin dimers. Site where microtubules assemble and initiate and act as an anchor for one end for nucleation (chromosomes) Centrosome: mtoc during interphase that is positioned near the nucleus. Negative ends at the mtoc and positive spreading outward: microtubule-associated motor proteins. Attach to vesicles needed to be transported and walk along the mt.

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

A hormone signal is sent from the brain to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. Why do only certain cells respond to this signal?

		Hormones do not last long enough in the bloodstream to stimulate a cellular response
