Signal Transduction Pathways An introduction to Information metabolism Chapter 15 Stryer Biochemistry
Signal Transduction 1) Membrane receptors transfer information 2) Second messengers relay information from the receptor ligand complex. 3) Protein phosphorylation is a common means of information transfer

Protein Phosphorylation
7TM helix receptors The 7TM helix receptors change conformation upon binding of ligand and activate a G-Protein Rhodopsin Β-adrenergenic receptor
Activated G-Protein transmits signal by binding to other proteins G-Protein binding to adenylate cyclase increases the catalytic efficiency of the adenylate cyclase and increases the synthesis of cAMP inside the cell
G-Proteins spontaneously reset themselves Resetting the G-Protein
Receptor resetting
cAMP stimulates the phosphorylation of many target proteins by activating PKA 1) Glycogen metabolism 2) Expression of specific genes (CREB) 3) Synaptic transmission Serotonin binds to a 7TM helix receptor cAMP activates PKA PKA facilitates the closing of K channels by phosphorylation
Hydrolysis of Phosphatidyl inositol Bisphosphate
What are the biocehmical effects of IP3? IP3 causes the rapid release of Ca from intracellular stores (ER, SR) Causes smooth muscle contration Glycogen breakdown Vesicle release
Diacylglycerol activates PKC
Ca Ion is a ubiquitous cytosolic messenger
Ca activates the regulatory protein Calmodulin
Regulation of Calmodulin of Calmodulin kinase
Receptor dimerisation
JAK phosphorylates STAT5
Some receptors contain a tyrosine kinase domain within their covalent structures
Defects in signaling pathways can lead to cancer and other diseases
