Transcript Cell signalling ppt

Cell to cell communication = Cell signalling
Involves a signal molecule secreted from one cell that interacts with
receptors on a second cell. The secreted molecule could be a
hormone, neurotransmitter, histamine or other substance that either
acts locally (paracrine), moves through the bloodstream to another
organ (endocrine) or is released by a neuron (synaptic). The molecule
binding with the receptor initiates a sequence of events mediated by a
g protein that that results in a biological effect. The type of effect
depends on the secreted molecule and the cell type; some molecules
can have different effects on different cells – the question is how?
Ligand (ex insulin, epinephrine)→ Receptor → G protein (GDP
to GTP) → adenylyl cyclase→ cAMP (second messenger and
signal amplification) → activate protein kinase (several
kinds)→ phosphorylate a protein(s) (result in an effect)
Gap junction between two cells (ex muscle) to
promote exchange of materials
Signals can either interact at the surface of the cell (protein
hormones, growth factors) or inside the cell (steroid hormones,
NO)
Different modes of signalling; we will
focus on endocrine for now

Insulin signalling example
Two keys steps for G protein activation/deactiviation:
• Exchange of GDP for GTP (controlled by guanine
exchange factor (GEF)
• Conversion of GTP to GDP (controlled by GTPase
activating proteins (GAPs). This step deactivates
adenylyl cyclase and stops production of cAMP.
Specific example of kinase activation( cAMP omitted)

What kinds of cell signals use g proteins?
Second Messenger
Examples of Hormones Which Utilize This System
Cyclic AMP
Epinephrine and norepinephrine, glucagon, luteinizing hormone,
follicle stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, calcitonin,
parathyroid hormone, antidiuretic hormone
Protein kinase activity
Insulin, growth hormone, prolactin, oxytocin, erythropoietin, several
growth factors
Calcium and/or
phosphoinositides
Cyclic GMP
Epinephrine and norepinephrine, angiotensin II, antidiuretic
hormone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, thyroid-releasing
hormone.
Atrial naturetic hormone, nitric oxide
G proteins are important in signal transduction regarding hormone
function, taste, smell, and cell growth
