I. Principle of cellular signaling

• Extracellular signal molecules bind to specific receptors

• There are two types of receptors• There are 5 types of intercellular signaling• Identification and purification of cell surface

receptor• Responses from cellular signaling• There are three majors classes of cell-surface

receptor• Multiple steps of cell signaling • Different types of intracellular signaling proteins• Methods that are used to study protein-protein

interaction

There are two types of receptors:

Ligands that bind to intracellular receptors

Ligands that bind to cell surface receptors

• Water soluble hormone and neuro transmitters– Peptide hormones– Small charged hormones and neurotransmitters

• Prostaglandin and other eicosanoid hormones

Small molecules that function as neurotransmitters

Eicosanoid hormones

5 Types of Intercellular Signaling

1. Endocrine signaling

2. Paracrine signaling

3. Synaptic signaling

4. Autocrine signaling

5. Signaling by plasma membrane-attached proteins

3 Types of Cell-Surface-Receptors

1. Ion-channel-linked receptors

2. G-protein-coupled receptors

3. Enzyme-linked receptors

Multi steps of signaling pathway

• Recognition of stimulus by cell surface receptor

• Transfer of signal across plasma membrane

• Transmission of the signal to specific targets inside the cells

• Cessation of the responses

responses4. The role of G-protein-coupled receptors

in sensory perception

G protien-coupled receptor

Seven membrane spanning helices

G protein binds to guanine nucleotides, eitherGDP or GTP. It consists of three different polypeptide subunits, called , , and .

Mechanism of activation of GPCR

1. activation of the G protein by the receptor- Activation of adenylate cyclase to generate cAMP- Activation of phospholipase C to generate IP3

and DAG

2. relay of the signal from G protein to effector3. ending of the response

-adrenergic receptors mediate the induction of epinephrine-initiated cAMP

synthesis
