G-Protein linked Receptor Sequence
Definition

Ligand binds to GPCR causing activation and conformational change

 

GDP bound to Gαs is replaced by GTP and G-beta and G-gamma dissociates from G-alpha

 

G-alpha binds to adenylyl cyclase to activate it causing it to catalyze formation of cAMP, raising cAMP levels

 

cAMP dependant protein kinase causing activation of pka

 

pka goes into the nucleous, Atp ->ADP activates CREB by phosphorylation

 

CBP binds to CREB and then binds to cAMP response element causing transcription

 

G-beta activates phospholipase C which cleaves IP3 from biphosphate and activates Ca2+ channels in ER

 

Ca2+ activates protein kinase C

Term
Diptheria Toxin Sequence
Definition

Two Domains:

A = Catalytic Domain

B = Transmembrane/Receptor Domain

 

Low iron, uses siderophores to sequester and produces toxin. High iron no toxin made

 

A & B Toxins are cleaved by protease but stay together due to a disulfide bond. The cleaveing activates dip. tox. 

 

 binds to HB-EGF and enters cell through endocytosis

 

The proton pump by V-type ATPase causes acidification 7 to 6 in vacuole resulting insertion into the membrane

 

A domain is fully cleaved from B domain, A domain crosses the membrane and affects EF2 function by inhibiting the translocation of tRNA from A-site to P-site

Term

Definition

Y381-OH and Y465-OH hydrogen bond with the O on epoxide faciltates nucleophilic attack by

 

ASP333-COO- attcks epoxide ring leading to formation of hydroxylacyl intermediate

 

His523 and ASP495  hydrolyze the intermediate allowing ASP333-COOH to disassociate

Term
Cholinergic neuromuscular junction sequence
Definition

Ca2+ enters and binds to SNARE complex (VAMP & SNAP on vesicles) ,opening Ca2+ ion channels

 

Once bound, the vesicle is docked on presynaptic membrane and releases neurotransmitters. Ach binds to AchR on post synaptic vessicle and triggers transmission of signal flow.

 

Na+ enters cells and depolarizes, if threshold is reached and action potential triggers.

 

Sarcolema repolarizes as K+ flows, NA/K pump restores ions.

 

AcHE cataylzes degradation of Ach in synapse.

Definition

Normally GSH is pH7 then when bound to GST pH 5-6, GSH is not very active but is in presence of GST. Alpha is most predominate

 

Gsite and binds to GSH, H site is lipophilic and binds to substrate

 

Y-6 on G site forms the electrophile pocket, its acidic and allowing gsh to be ionized and perform nucleophilic attack on epoxide,

 

S-209 forms hydrophobic pocket, facilliating Y115

 

Y-115 acidic h site, forms the substrate pocket, is electron acceptor

Term
BAP Pathway
Definition
BAP is 2 on top of 3 rings

P450 add epoxide on bottom left or top left and its either down or up. Epoxide hydrolase makes them OH's the one closest to the bay region matches up/down of epoxide other -OH is opposite. then P450 act on which ever it didn't act on fisrt making another epoxide. Epoxide hydrolase can break and then It can then react with N7 on DNA and then be removed by aicd hydrolysis.

If GST/GSH breaks 2nd you get -oh -SG
