Cell Communications Chapter 5.5-5.6
Types of communication • Differentiate between the following: • Paracrine • Endocrine • Autocrine
Step 1: Multiple Receptor types • Cytoplasmic receptor proteins • Membrane bound receptor proteins • G-protein linked receptors • Receptor tyrosine kinases • Ligand gated ion channels • Be able to compare and contrast each of the above. • Know what type of signals activate each • Provide examples of each
Cytoplasmic receptors How do they work? What is different about the chemistry of the signals?
G-Protein Linked receptor How does it work? What is different about the GDP to GTP transition as compared to the GTP to GDP transition?
Receptor tyrosine kinases How does it work?
Ligand gated ion channels How does it work?
Step 2: Transduction Second messengers Phosphorylation cascades
Second messengers What are they? Examples? Advantages to using them?
Phosphorylation cascade What are they? Advantages?
Regulating signal transduction • How does a cell regulate this process? • While the number of “steps” creates increased regulation, it also creates increased risk of malfunction. Explain.
Step 3: Response Likely responses to a signal???
Examples to be familiar with How does caffeine interfere with a signaling pathway to keep us “perky”? - adenosine receptor antagonist - inhibitor of cAMPphosphodiesterase Be able to explain the epinephrine pathway from signal to response!
