SignalTransductionPathways
• Ifithelps,thinkofsignaltransductionpathwayslikewhathappenswhenyougetatextmessage:– Reception =Yourphonevibratesordings.– Transduction =Youunlockthephoneandreadthemessage.
– Response =Youwriteback,smile,cry,orlaugh.
TheSignalTransductionPathwayThreeSteps
• Step1:Reception– Thecellneedstoreceiveachemicalsignal(aligand).• Aligandisanysmallmoleculethatbindstoalargerone.• Thelargermoleculeisusuallyareceptorprotein.
TheSignalTransductionPathwayThreeSteps
• Step2:Transduction– Themembranereceptorproteinthenactivatesoneormoreothermoleculestocarrythesignaldeeperintothecell.
– Theseothermoleculesarecalledrelaymolecules andmaybeinvolvedinaphosphorylationcascade.

• SignalTransductionPathwaysPOGIL
ExamplesofSignalTransductionPathways
• Asignaltransductionpathwaycanbe“achieved”throughoneofthesefourtotalmethods:– IntracellularReceptors– Extracellular(CellSurfaceTransmembrane)Receptors1. GProtein-CoupledReceptors2. Tyrosine-KinaseReceptors3. IonChannelReceptors
IntracellularReceptors
• Thisiswhenasignalmolecule,stillcalledaligand,enters acelltoelicitaresponse.
• Insidethecell,itbindstoareceptorproteininthecytoplasmandthencanaffecttranscriptionorothercellactivities.– Inthiscase,wecouldcalltheligand/receptorcomplexatranscriptionfactor.
• Ontotheextracellular receptors!
1.GProtein-CoupledReceptor• Gproteinsareguaninenucleotide-bindingproteins.
• So,aGprotein-coupledreceptor(GPCR)isamembranereceptorthatislinkedinsomewaytoaGprotein.– There’stheGproteinandthere’sthereceptor(they’redifferent).
• Gprotein-linked receptorshavesevenαhelicesspanningthemembrane.
• Thesereceptorsareresponsibleforrelayingasignalfromaligandtotheinteriorofthecell(NOTrelayingtheliganditself).
EnergyMolecules• BeforewelaunchintohowaGprotein-coupledreceptorworks,weneedtolookintoamoleculethatpowerstheGprotein.
• WhatamItalkingabout?• No,notATP…GTP!– ATP=Adenosinetriphosphate– GTP=Guanosine triphosphate
• Key:EachisanucleotidewithTHREEphosphategroups.
• Key:When“usedup,”themoleculeisreducedtoTWOphosphategroups,knownasadenosine/guanosine diphosphate.
ATPvs.GTP
• They’resimilar,butdifferentinthesamewaythatadenineandguaninearedifferent.– Adenosine=adenine(anitrogenousbase)+ribose– Guanosine =guanine(anitrogenousbase)+ribose
• ATPisthemorefamiliarenergy“currency”ofthecell,butGTPplaysaroletoo.– Thekeyisnotsomuchthe“adenosine”or“guanosine”partasisthe“triphosphate”part.
– Thebondsbetweenthephosphategroupscontaintheenergy.
BacktoGProtein-CoupledReceptors• Inactive:– Thereceptorisspanningthemembrane.– TheGproteinisboundtoGDPandstucktotheinnermembrane.– Anenzymealsoexistsontheinnersurfaceofthecellmembrane.
BacktoGProtein-CoupledReceptors• Activation:– TheorangeligandactivatestheGPCR,changingitstertiarystructure,whichbondstotheGprotein.
– GTPreplacesGDP,andtheGproteinmovestotheenzyme.– Theenzymepromptsthenextcellularresponses.
BacktoGProtein-CoupledReceptors
• Deactivation:– TheenzymehydrolyzesGTPandremovesaphosphate.– TheGproteinisreleased.Theprocesscanstartagain.
AndIcare…because?
• SowhyareGprotein-coupledreceptorsimportant?– YourvisionandsmellsensesuseGprotein-coupledreceptors.
– Diseaseslikebotulism,pertussis(whoopingcough),andcholeraproducetoxinsthatinterferewithGPCRs.
– Around60%ofmedicineworksbyaffectingGPCRs,andawholelotofdrugs(includingheroin)workthesameway.
– PTCpaper:tasted(ornot)?• YourabilitytotastePTCisbasedonwhetheryouhaveagenecodingforaGprotein-coupledreceptorforthatsubstance.
• NoGPCR,noPTCtaste.
2.Tyrosine-KinaseReceptors
• Tyrosine-kinaseisanenzymestuckinthecellmembrane.
• ItsjobistodephosphorylateATPandmovethatphosphategrouptotheattachedtyrosine.
• IthasabindingsiteintheECMforsignalmoleculesandsingleαhelixinthemembrane.
Tyrosine-KinaseReceptors• Inactive– Thetyrosine-kinasereceptorproteinsaretwoseparatemonomers,andrelayproteinsarenotactive.• Takeaguesswherethisisgoing…
Tyrosine-KinaseReceptors• Activated– Aligandactivatesthemonomersandtheymakeadimer.– Oncejoined,thekinasedephosphorylatesATPandaddsthatphosphategrouptoitstyrosine(aminoacid),whichactivatesrelayproteins.
Tyrosine-Kinasevs.GProtein
• GproteinstendtoelicitonlyonetypeofresponseperGprotein.
• Asingletyrosine-kinasereceptorcancausemultipleresponses.– Errantreceptortyrosine-kinaseshavebeenlinkedtocancer.
3.IonChannelReceptors
• Theseareproteinchannelsthatopenonlywhenactivatedbyaligand.
• Nervecellsusethesefrequently.
Receptors:BigIdeas• Versatility:Differentcelltypescanrespondtothesameligandindifferentways:
Receptors:BigIdeas• Scaffolding:Someproteinsserveasintermediatesandholdrelayproteinstogether.
Receptors:BigIdeas• Amplification:Asinglesignalmoleculecanleadtoamassiveresponse.– Thisisthepointofaphosphorylationcascade.
SecondMessengers
• Signaltransductionpathwaysoftenactivatesecondmessengers.– Thesearemoleculeswithin cellsthatactassignalsjustliketheoriginalextracellular signal.
• Thethreemajorclassesofsecondmessengers:– Cyclicnucleotides– DAGandIP3– Calciumions(Ca2+)
SecondMessenger:CyclicNucleotides
• Theenzymeadenylylcyclase isactivatedbyaGprotein.– Adenylylcyclase usesATPtomakecAMP,orcyclicAMP.
– AMP=adenosinemonophosphate• Similarly,guanylyl cyclase usesGTPtomakecGMP (cyclicGMP).
• Thesesecondmessengersthenservetoturnonotherresponseswithincells.
SecondMessenger:IP3 andDAG
• DAGisdiacylglycerol whichstaysinthecellmembraneandactivatesotherenzymes,whichoftenuse…
• …IP3,whichisinositoltriphosphate.– ThishelpsreleaseCa2+ ions(whicharethemselvesconsideredasecondmessenger)fromtheER.
• Calciumions,bytheway,areusedwidelythroughoutthebody.– Includingmakingyourmusclescontract.

TheCatch:Homeostasis
• Allthissignalingisgreat,butthere’sonemajorcatch:organismsstillneedtomaintainhomeostasis.
• Theycanachievethisthroughfeedbackloops.• Positivefeedback amplifiestheoriginalsignal.• Negativefeedback inhibitstheoriginalsignal.– Asyoumightguess,negativefeedbackisfarmoreusefultohomeostasis.
NegativeFeedbackExamples

• BodyTemperature– Ariseinbodytemperatureissensedbyneuronswhichsignalthebrain,whichsendssignalstodilatethebloodvessels(vasodilation),decreasingtemperature.• Andmakingyouredintheface.
