Categories of Cellular Receptors
Types Of Neurotransmitter-Regulated Channels
• Transmitter-Gated Channels • G-protein-coupled Channels
Signal Amplification
1. Transmitter-gated channels are very fast
2. G-protein-gated channels permit amplification of a signal
Amplification in Signal Transduction Pathways
G-protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) Signaling
• Neurotransmitter • GPCR (GTP binding - two major types) • Effector Protein – adenylyl cylcase, PLC • Second Messengers – e.g. cyclic
nucleotides, DAG/IP3, Ca++ • “Later” Effectors – ser/thr kinases,
phosphatases • Target Action – protein phosphorylation,
Ca++ binding proteins…
Types of GTP-Binding Protein I. Heterotrimeric G Proteins
Structure of Metabotropic Receptors
G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs)
• Receptor has 7 trans-membrane regions
• G-protein has three subunits
(heterotrimer)
RECEPTOR CATALYZED NUCLEOTIDE EXCHANGE
G-protein Cycle
1. Binding of ligand to receptor 2. GTP replaces GDP on G-protein 3. Dissociation of the G-protein into
two subunits 4. Subunits can each activate various
systems 5. GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP 6. Protein reform into a single unit
