Four intracellular pathways cross talk
A Single Signal Can Activate Several Pathways Binding of epidermal growth factor to its receptor activates phospholipase C (PLC) leading to production of diacylglycerol (DAG) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC) Binding of epidermal growth factor to its receptor activates a MAP kinase pathway via ras DAG ras PLC raf PKC ras GTP MAP kinase cascade Multiple effects e.g. Differentiation Proliferation

Protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) • Plasma membrane receptors - receptor tyrosine kinases • dimer formation, autophosphorylation 2. Cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases
Src, is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src, is the product of the first proto-oncogene to be characterized. Src kinase -„eldest” Tyr kinase – SH: Src Homology domain
Tyrosine kinases can be cytosolic or integral membrane receptors . Substrate Single Membrane spanning Hydrophobic domain. No membrane-spanning domain
Src homology domains SH2 binding to Tyr P SH3 binding to Pro rich regions Grb2: SH2, SH3 domains – receptor –effector connection Docking proteins: SH2 domain IRS: insulin receptor substrate
Receptor tyrosine kinases The interaction of the external domain of a receptor tyrosine kinase with the ligand, often a growth factor, up-regulates the enzymatic activity of the intracellular catalytic domain, which causes tyrosine phosphorylation of cytoplasmic signaling molecules.
Receptor tyrosine kinases • General Relevance • Amplification by downstream signaling elements greatly amplifies the effects of low levels of tyrosine phosphorylation that are most directly induced by extracellular triggers. Example: PLC and PI3K • Activation of multiple kinases (kinase cascades) including ser/thr as well as tyrosine kinases, is a frequent consequence of these early events. Example: MAP Kinase

Functionsof receptor tyrosine kinases: • Growth control • Cell-cell recognition • Cell cycle control • Immune responses • Development • Differentiation
Tyrosine Kinases, associated genes and proteins are implicated in developmental defects and cancer • Excessive activation of receptor tyrosine kinases can lead to uncontrolled growth and malignant transformation. • Many defective or viral forms of tyrosine kinases and associated proteins are oncogenic: • v-src • abl • erbB

Response of the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) to ligand binding • Heterotetramer (2a, 2b) • Insulin binding leads to change in structure (different from other RTKs) • Conformation change activates b-subunit TK activity • b subunit phosphorylates Tyr residues on cytoplasmic domains as well as downstream substrates (IRS)
Three-dimensional structures of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRK) IRK conformational change upon activation loop phosphorylation. The N-terminal lobe of IRK is colored white and the C-terminal lobe is colored dark grey. The activation loop (green) contains autophosphorylation sites Y1158, Y1162 and Y1163, and the catalytic loop (orange) contains the putative catalytic base, D1132. Also shown are the unbound/bound ATP analog and tyrosine-containing substrate peptide (pink). [Hubbard, EMBO J. 16, 5572 (1997)]
Once Tyr-phosphorylated, the IRK activity triggers a number of signaling pathways • Phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase, makes PIP2,PIP3 • Grb2, Sos, activates Ras • Activation of PI-PLC Sos: exchange protein

On-Off Switches The majority of signals are transient and the response should be proportionately transient too. If you switch the signal on, you need a way of switching it off again. For example, failure to switch off mitogenic signals is one way to induce a tumour. So, what we are looking for are biochemical systems that are capable of rapidly switching between two states. In many signalling systems the ‘on-off’ switch is operated by GTP-binding proteins and/or protein phosphorylation
On-Off Switches – GTP-Binding Proteins GTP-binding proteins come in two flavours, small monomeric GTP-binding proteins (e.g. p21ras) and heterotrimeric G proteins. The basic GTP/GDP binding cycle is the same in both cases. g Exchange of bound GDP for GTP b GTP a INACTIVE GDP GDP a a subunit dissociates from bg GTP ACTIVE Pi Active a subunit can interact with and activate the next step in the signalling pathway a a subunit GTPase activity GTP > GDP+Pi GDP a subunit reassociates with bg
p21ras p21ras p21ras GDP GDP GTP On-Off Switches – GTP-Binding Proteins Ras (p21ras) is a good example of this type of switch. Ras is a small (21 kDa) monomeric protein that binds GTP or GDP and has intrinsic GTPase activity This causes exchange of bound GDP for GTP Guanine nucleotide exchange factor interacts with ras p21ras Activated ras interacts with and activates the next component in the signalling pathway On GTP GDP ACTIVE INACTIVE Pi Ras GTPase stimulated by association with GTPase-activating protein (GAP) Off Intrinsic GTPase activity hydrolyses GTP to GDP and Pi
RTKs can activate the Ras pathway of cellular signaling • Ras is a small G-protein (monomeric 21-kD) • Mutant Ras proteins are unable to dissociate GTP, so they are stuck in the ON or proliferative state: ras (gene) mutations found in 30% of human cancers. • Mutations in Ras-GAPs can lead to disease.
