What does it do when it is phosphorylated?
Definition
PKA is 4 subunits (2 C and 2 R), the R's and C's separated with the R's phosphorylated by cAMP
Term
What is the adenylate cyclase pathway?
Definition
Galpha activated adenylate cyclase which makes cAMP which activated PKA
Term
What is CREB?
Definition
It is activated by PKA and stands for cAMP-Response element binding as PKA is downstream of cAMP
CREB is a transcription factor
Term
What is the difference in how GTP and ATP activate a signal?
Definition
GTp usually binds to the substrate while it is working, ATP just gives the phosphorus
Term
What does DAG activate?
Definition
PKC
Term
What does IP3 activate?
Definition
calcium release from Smooth ER
Term
What is a phosphoinositides?
Definition
specific phospholipid molecules, think of them as docks that can be activated activated with 3 phosphorus that can activate intracellular proteins by bringing them closer together
Term
What are some examples of Tyrosine kinases?
What are some serine/therosnine kinases?
Definition
EGF, PDGF, insulin, JAK

PKA, PKC, CAM, PKB, MAP, TGFBeta
Term
Two types of protein kinase C
Definition
gamma - growth factors
beta - GCPR
Term
EGF can work through MAP kinase, what is the pathway?
Definition
EGF receptor, PKCgamma, SH2, RAS or P-tyrosine, RAF then MAP kinase pathway (RAS,MEK,ERK)
Term
What is the difference in a scaffold and activated receptor?
Definition
scaffold already has many proteins living on it
activated receptor recruits several proteins after it is activated
Term
RTK and dominant negative inhibition
Definition
RTK needs to bring two monomers together and phosphorylate, however one bad mutant monomer stops both and is therefore a dominant negative
Term
JAK-STAT pathway
Definition
cytokines, growth hormone, prolactin

brinigs two dimers together, cross phosphorylate on tyrosine, grabs SH@ and STAT and state goes to the nucleus
Term
TNF to NFkB pathway
Definition
stress, inflammatory, immune

TNFalpha trimer to IKK complex (with NEMO) reacts with NFkB to liberate it from IkB which goes to nucleus
Term
to what are tyrosine kinases bound?
Definition
the membrane!

most serine/theorine kinases are not!
Term
What is another function of the STAT in JAK-STAT?
Definition
it goes to mitochondria for oxidative phosporylation if phosphorylated on Serine instead od Tyrosine
Term
What makes a receptor disassociate from its ligand?
Definition
the acid environment of the endosome/lysosome
Term
What is a peripheral protein quality control system?
Definition
ubiquitinate to make a peripheral proteins death, CHIP mediate, brought to lysosome by ESCRT
Term
Where can a receptor go if it was damaged through endocytosis?
Definition
trans golgi network
Term
SNOW DROP
Definition
Southern = DNA
Northern = RNA
W = Proteins
Term
What does ribonucleotide reductase do?
What inhibits it?
Definition
make NDP into dNDP (Rna to DNA
hydroxyurea
Term
Where does PRPP come from?
Definition
pentose phosphate pathway
Term
What is the main symptom of folate deficincy?
Definition
megaloblastic anemia
Term
What does folate make that is important for the body?
Definition
tetrahydrofolate
Term
What vitamin can untrap folate?
Definition
B12
Term
How do you distinguish between folate defincy and B12 def?
Definition
both have homocysteine accumulate

B12 will have the nurologi disorder with it from the conversion of methylmaolonyl CoA to succinyl CoA from odd chain FA and branched amino acids
Term
5- FloroUracil
Definition
cancer treatment, not dUMP to dTMP
inhibits thymidylate synthase
Term
Methoytrexate
Definition
blocks dihydrofoltae reductase, which is make FH4 from FH2
Term
Orotic aciduria
Definition
no hyperammonia
inability to convert orotic acid to UMP
defective orotic acid phosphooribosyltransferase or orotidine 5 phosphate decarboxylase
Term
Purine synthesis inhibiting drugs
Definition
Mycophenolic Acid - IMP dehydrogenase

6-mercaptopurine and Allopurinol inhibit glutamine phosphoribosyl amindotransferase
Term
Allopurinol
Definition
Inhibits Hypoxanthine oxidase at 2 points to we cant make uric acid and no gout!
Term
SCID
Definition
adenosine deaminase deficiency
accumulation of deoxyadenosine stop ribonucleotide reductase, kill T and B cells
Term
Lesch - Nyhan
Definition
HGPRT (he's got purine recovery trouble)
gout and self mutaliation
purines cant be recovered, so they just get degraded
