Signalling at Cell Surface 2 April 2007 Receptors Classification of receptors • Intracellular receptors (for lipid soluble messengers) • function in the nucleus as transcription factors to alter the rate of transcription of particular genes. • Plasma membrane receptors (for lipid insoluble messengers) • Receptors function as ion channels • receptors function as enzymes or are closely associated with cytoplasmic enzymes • receptors that activate G proteins which in turn act upon effector proteins, either ion channels or enzymes, in the plasma membrane. Cell Surface Receptors • May work both fast and slow • Always use “second messengers” Table 20-1.

American arrow poison (curare) - very fast acting so shot animals don’t run too far VOLTAGE GATED ION CHANNELS • ion channel undergoes conformational change folllowing electrical stimulus • this “depolarization” opens the channel – leads to flow of Na+ into cell – constitutes an “action potential” • channel recloses Signaling pathways downstream from G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) Structural formulas of four common intracellular second messengers. Intracellular proteins • Two groups of evolutionary conserved proteins function in signal transduction • 1. GTPase switch proteins – Conversion from GDP bound inactive state to GTP-bound active state is mediated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) – Intrinsic GTPase activity hydrolyzes bound GTP to GDP + Pi • GTP hydrolysis is accelerated by GTPase accelerating protein (GAPs) • Two classes of GTPase switch proteins: – Trimeric (large) G proteins • Directly bind to receptors – Monomeric (small) G proteins • Linked to receptors via adapter proteins and GEFs Common intracellular signaling proteins • 2. Protein kinases and phosphatases – Human genome encodes 500 PKs and 100 PPs – Two types of PK • Those that P* OH group on Tyr residue • Those that P* OH group on Ser or Thr residues – PK is activated • By other kinases • By direct binding to other proteins • By second messengers Regulation of signaling • External signal decreases – Degradation of second mesenger • Desensitization to prolonged signaling – Receptor endocytosis • Modulation of receptor activity – Phosphorylation – Binding to other proteins G Protein-Coupled Receptors • A very large family of receptors coupled to trimeric G proteins • Activate or inhibit adenylyl cyclase • All have seven membrane spanning region • Ligands include: – Hormones, neurotransmitters, light activated receptors (rhodopsins), thousands of odorant receptors GPCRs and G proteins are involved in the regulation of many important physiological functions • Signal transducing G protein has 3 subunits – G, Gß and G • G is the GTPase switch protein and modulates the activity of an effector protein • Effector proteins are either membrane bound ion channels or enzymes generating second messengers • GPCR-mediated dissociation of trimeric G proteins has been demonstarted in fluorescence energy transfer experiments The activation/deactivation cycle of G proteins Agonist-receptor complex GDP GTP GDP + GTP GDP Active effector Inactive effector Pi GTP Active effector G proteins can be linked to: • adenylate cyclase – produces cyclic AMP (cAMP) • guanyl cyclase – produces cyclic GMP (cGMP) • phospholipase C – produces inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacyl glycerol (DAG) • ion channels G-ProteinActivated Enzymes first messenger adrenalin adrenalin receptor receptor OUT MEMBRANE IN transducer amplifier G protein adenylate cyclase cAMP second messenger Activity of subunits • Activation of K+ Channels G-Protein-Activated Enzymes • Generate new molecules - “second messengers G proteins and cAMP cAMP vs PKA cAMP and gene transcription Epinephrine case • Mediates body’s response to stress, when all tissues need glucose and fatty acids to produce ATP • ß-adrenergic receptors – Heart muscle: contraction – Smooth muscle cells of intestine: relax • 2-adrenergic receptors – Smooth muscle cells of endothelium, skin, kidney and intestine: constrict • ß1 and ß2 adrenergic receptors are coupled to stimulatory G protein (Gs) – Actvates adenylyl cyclase • 1 adrenergic receptor is coupled to inhibitory G protein (Gi) – Inhibits adenylyl cyclase • 2 adrenergic receptor is coupled to Gq that activates another effector enzyme • Bacterial toxins – Vibrio cholera • Catalyzes chemical modification of Gs that prevents hydrolysis of GTP to GDP – Active state – Bordetella pertussis • Catalyzes chemical modification of Gi that prevents release of GDP – Inactive state • Critical domain of GPCR resides in C3 loop according to chimeric receptor expression experiments • Differential modulation of adenylyl cyclase • Different hormone-receptor complexes modulate the activity of the same effector molecule – In liver glucagon and epinephrine bind to different receptors but activate the same Gs: same metabolic responses
