Contents Part 1: Sections 6.1 - 6.2 1. Receptor superfamilies 2. Ion channel receptors (Ligand gated ion channels) 2.1. General structure (3 slides) 2.2. Structure of protein subunits (4-TM receptor subunits) 2.3. Detailed structure of ion channel 2.4. Gating (2 slides) [9 slides]
RESPONSE TIME msecs seconds minutes MEMBRANE BOUND 1. Receptor superfamilies • ION CHANNEL RECEPTORS • G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS • KINASE LINKED RECEPTORS • INTRACELLULAR RECEPTORS
Binding site Receptor Messenger Cell INDUCED FIT ‘GATING’ (ion channel opens) Cell membrane membrane 2. Ion channel receptors (Ligand gated ion channels) 2.1 General structure Five glycoprotein subunits traversing cell membrane Cationic ion channels for K+, Na+, Ca2+ (e.g. nicotinic) = excitatory Anionic ion channels for Cl- (e.g. GABAA) = inhibitory
Binding sites Ion channel a b a g g a b d a d Cell membrane Two ligand binding sites mainly on a-subunits 2. Ion channel receptors (Ligand gated ion channels) Transverse view (nicotinic receptor) 2xa, b, g, d subunits
Binding sites Ion channel a a b a b b a a a b Cell membrane Three ligand binding sites on a-subunits 2. Ion channel receptors (Ligand gated ion channels) Transverse view (glycine receptor) 3xa, 2x b subunits

2. Ion channel receptors (Ligand gated ion channels) 2.4 Gating • Fast response measured in msec • Ideal for transmission between nerves • Binding of messenger leads directly to ion flows across cell membrane • Ion flow = secondary effect (signal transduction) • Ion concentration within cell alters • Leads to variation in cell chemistry
