A G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Or G Protein-linked Receptor 7 transmembrane domains
The disassembly of G-Protein upon stimulation Spontaneous deactivation is very fast, in minutes. However, with the help of RGS (regulator of G protein signaling, a GAP for a unit), signals can be shut off even faster
The visualization of cAMP in nerve cells GPCR->Gs->adenylyl cyclase->cAMP Gi
cAMP cycle: GPCR->Gs->adenylyl cyclase->cAMP Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase breaks down cAMP to 5’-AMP
The function of cAMP Targeting PKA (cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase A)
Terminology: CRE(cyclic AMP response element); CREB: CRE binding protein; CBP: CREB binding protein
Three Types of Inositol phospholipids PI, PI(4)P, PI(4,5)P2
Phospholipase C-b (PLC-b) Produces DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)) Gq->PLC-b
Fertilization of an egg by a sperm triggering an increase in cytosolic Calcium • 3 major types of calcium channels: • Voltage dependent Ca channels on plasma membrane • IP3-gated Ca release channels on ER membrane • Ryanodine receptor on ER membrane
Calcium uptake and deprivation • Na/Ca exchanger on plasma membrane, 2. Ca pump on ER membrane, 3. Ca binding molecules, 4. Ca pump on Mitochondia
Calcium Frequency encoding signaling strength Local Ca blips, sparks, puffs, reflecting local opening of individual channels in ER, strong local signal induces global activity, the elevated Calcium trigger calcium deprivation system
Targeting molecules for Calcium Calcium binding protein Calmodulin
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaM-kinase) Memory function: 1. calmodulin dissociate after 10 sec of low calcium level; 2. remain active after calmodulin dissociation
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaM-kinase) Frequency decoder of Calcium oscillation High frequence, CaM-kinase does not return to basal level before the second wave of activation starts
Desensitization of GPCR 1. Inhibitory structural alteration of receptor; 2. receptor internalization; 3. receptor degration GRK (G protein-linked receptor kinase) Arrestin takes to clathrin-coated pits and degradation
GPCR Signaling Summary • 1. G-protein types • 2. cAMP and Calcium signaling pathways • 3. desensitization
Enzyme-Linked Cell Surface Receptors • *Receptor Tyrosine Kinase • *Tyrosine kinase associated receptors • *Receptor-like tyrosine phosphatase • *Receptor serine/threonine kinase • Receptor guanylyl cyclase • Histidine like associated receptor
Three ways in which signaling proteins can cross-link receptor chains 1. dimer, 2. monomer but brought together by proteoglycan, 3. cluster on membrane
The binding of SH2-containing intracellular signaling proteins to an activated PDGF receptor
The regulation of Ras activity, a famous downstream molecule of RTK responsible for cancer development
The recruitment of signaling molecules with PH domains to the plasma membrane during B cell activation One PI3K pathway PH domain: pleckstrin homology domain
Another PI3K pathway to regulate cell migration PI3K->PIP3->GEF->Rac->Wave->Arp2/3->Actin polymerization
Intracellular Signaling Pathways activated by RTKs and GPCRs
Tyrosine kinase associated receptors • Integrins: cell-extracellular matrix adhesion • Binding to Src and FAK
Receptorlike tyrosine phosphatases • Intracellular protein and receptor
Receptor Serine/threonine kinase • Transforming growth factor (TGF-b) and Smad signaling pathway
