Term
Describe control of G-protein-linked cell surface receptors |
|
Definition
Signal binds to transmembrane protein.
conformational change allows the G-protein to move closer
The GDP on inactive G-protein comes off and GTP binds to the alpha subunit.
The alpha subunit now deattaches from the other two subunits of G-protein which are also activated.
The alpha subunit can activate a target protein.
Then hydrolysis of GTP by the alpha subunit inactivates the subunit it falls off from the target protein and binds back with the other two subunits.
The target protein is inactivated and the G-Protein goes back to its inactivated form. |

What is an important class of targets for Calmodulin |
|
Definition
The CALCIUM/CALMODULIN-DEPENDENT KINASES are an important class of targets for calmodulin. |
|
|
Term
Explain the activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. |
|
Definition
- Calcium binds to calmodulin
- Once calcium is bound to calmodulin then that combiniation can bind to an inactivated protein kinase.
- That protein Kinase then becomes actiavted, but that protein kinase can be further actiavted following a cell phosphorylation and now it will be FULLY ACTIVE.
Overtime when the calcium concen goes down then the calcium molecules will dissassociate from the calmodulin, and calmodulin will fall off from protein kinase.
The protein kinase will still retain some activitiy as long as it has that phosphate.
So the action of protein phosphatase is to remove the phosphate from the protein kinase which will now inactivate the protein kinase by diactivating the CATALYTIC DOMAIN. |

Definition
Factor that stimulates JAK-STAT signaling is alpha-interferon
- Once interferon is bound to the alpha interferon receptor
- There is a cross-linkage of adjacent receptors
- The JAKS (tyk2 and jak1) cross-phosphorylate each other on tyrosine
- The actiavted JAKS then go on to phosphorylate receptors on tyrosine.
- Then STATs come along and dock on to specific phosphotyrosines on receptor.
- The Jaks phosphorylate them
- The STATs dissociate from the receptor and dimerize via SH2 Domain
- The Stats then migrate to nucleus they bind to DNA and other gene regulatory proteins

|
|
Term
Explain the pathway of Smad-dependent Signaling pathway |
|
Definition
TGf-Beta (transforming growth factor beta) dimer binds to its receptor (TYPE II)
The binding allows the TYPE II receptor to recruit and phosphorylate a TYPE-I receptor.
The phosphorylated type I receptor recruits and phosphorylates Smad2 OR Smad3
The smad2/3 which was phosphorylated dissociates from the receptors and oligomerizes with Smad4
The smad2/3-smad4 Oligomer migrates to nucleus, recruits other gene regulatory proteins, and activates transcription of specific targer genes.

|
Definition
Affects the stability of B-Catenin. It results in stabilization of B-Catenin. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Wnt protein binds to receptor
- Dishevelled is actiavted
- That blocks the action of protein kinase
- B-Catenin is no longer phosphorylated so it will not be broken down it is stablized.
- The stablized B-catenin will migrate to nucleus and displace the GROUCHO
- Lead to turning on Wnt-Responsive genes.
IF there is no Wnt signal then
the Dishevelled is inactive
the B-catenin will be phosphorylated and degraded in Proteosome and no transcription will occur in nucleus |

Mek will activate Erk (Map-Kinase)
