Scheme of the signal transduction of cell surface receptors Ligand Receptor Intracellular signaling Gene expression Biological response
Receptor families • Extracellular receptors:hidrophylicligandseg. peptide, protein hormones • Ion-channel receptors • 7-transmembrane-spanning receptors (7TM) • Catalytic receptors: intrinsic enzyme activity • Non-catalytic receptors: use cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases • Intracellularreceptors:lipophilic hormones eg. steroids, thyroxin
Extracellular receptor types ION-CHANNEL-LINKED RECEPTORS Ions Signal molecule Plasma membrane Cytoplasm G-PROTEIN-LINKED RECEPTORS g g a a Signal molecule b b g a b GTP GDP GTP Enzyme Enzyme Enzyme G-protein Activated G-protein Activated enzyme ENZYME-LINKED RECEPTORS Dimer of signal molecule Signal molecule Enzyme Inactive catalytic domain Active catalytic domain Activated enzyme

Ionotropic receptors (ligand-gated ion channels) Ions Ligand Plasmamembrane Cytoplasm Ligandgated ion channel
Ion channel receptors • Cys-loop receptors: pentameric structure, 4 transmembrane (TM) regions/subunit • e.g., Acetylcholin (Ach) Nicotinic R – Na+ channel • e.g., GABAA, GABAC, Glycine – Cl- channels (inhibitory role in CNS) • Glutamate-activated cationic channels: (excitatory role in CNS),tetramericstucture, 3 TM regions/subunit • e.g., iGlu • ATP-gated channels: 3 homologous subunits, 2 TM regions/subunit • e.g., P2X purinoreceptor
Nicotinic Ach receptor FRONT TOP
Nicotinic Ach receptor • Pore formed from 5 subunits: 2a, b, g, d • Opening: the 2a units are distorted • Desensitization: in the open conformation the b, g, d subunits become phosphorylated by Protein kinase A and C

Blocking the neuromuscular transmission • a-Bungarotoxin: • Snake venom (Bungarusmulticinctus) • Binds to the N-Ach receptor and inactivates • Curare (tubocurarin): • In South American plantsStrychnostoxiferaand Chondrodendrontomentosum • Indiansuseasarrow poison • Curare binds to the same place on the N-Ach receptor than Achetylcholin BUT channel doesn’t open • Causes paralysis of breathing muscles • Used as muscle relaxant in anaesthesia • Antidote: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
Acetylcholinesterase(AchE) • Quick removal of Ach from the synaptic space • Ach→ choline+acetyl • Reversible inhibitors:therapeutic use (myasthenia, glaucoma, Alzheimer’s) • Irreversble inhibitors: chemical weapons and pesticidese.g. organophosphates Ach AchE
