Receptor tyrosine kinase-induced signal transduction Erk MAP kinase pathway PI3-kinase Akt pathway PLCg PKC pathway 2
Phospholipase C hydrolyses PIP 2 into DAG and IP 3 1,2-Diacylglycerol (DAG) and Inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (IP 3 ) are potent second messengers Second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules that are not proteins IP 3 binds to and activate IP 3 -receptor in the ER membrane, leading opening of the channel and release of Ca 2+ into the cytoplasm DAG remains in the plasma membrane and functions as a protein kinase C (PKC) activator by facilitating its translocation to the membrane 3
PLCg is activated by receptor tyrosine kinases Receptor tyrosine kinases activate PLCg Membrane recruitment depends on both SH2 domain interaction with activated RTK and PH domain interaction with the membrane lipid PIP 3 SH2 PH 4
Ca 2+ concentration is kept low in the cytoplasm by Ca 2+ pump proteins Free intracellular [Ca 2+ ] ~ 10-100 nm. [Ca 2+ ] within lumen of ER ~ mm 5
IP 3 promote increased cytoplasmic [Ca 2+ ] Examples of proteins regulated by Ca 2+ Calpain Ca 2+ -dependent protease Troponin Regulator of actin-myosin contraction Calmodulin Intracellular Ca 2+ sensor that can affect activity of many other proteins Synaptotagmin Regulates Ca 2+ -dependent vesicle fusion 6
Calmodulin is an intracellular Ca 2+ sensor Upon Ca 2+ binding, calmodulin changes conformation exposing two binding surfaces that participate in protein-protein interactions 7
Calmodulin is an intracellular Ca 2+ sensor 4 Ca 2+ Target protein 8
Calmodulin-Ca 2+ binding regulates the activity of many signaling proteins Displacement of autoinhinitory domain e.g., CaM kinase II, MLCKs Active site remodeling CaM induced rearragement of thetarget and creates an active site CaM-induced oligomerization e.g., small conductance Ca 2+ - activated K + channel 9
1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) is a membrane associated second messenger 10
Protein kinase C family (PKC) PKC:s are a family of serine/threonine kinases The subdivision into subfamilies based on their second messenger requirements for activation Activated downstream of PLC Classical; DAG and Ca 2+ Novel; DAG Atypical 11
PKC are translocated to the membrane by their C1 and C2 domain interacting with DAG and Ca 2+, respectively Membrane localization driven by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions C1 basic Polar head groups DAG hydrophobic Hydrocarbon core DAG 12
PKC is activated by translocation from cytoplasm to membrane via displacement of pseudosubstrate C2 C1B C1A Activated Extracellular classical space PKCs are membrane associated 13

G-protein cycle and regulatory proteins The activity state of a G-protein can be regulated by: GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) GAP (GTPase activating protein) GDI (guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor) 16

G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) induced-signal transduction PLCb-PKC pathway camp PKA pathway 18
PLCb is activated by G-protein coupled receptors G-protein coupled receptors activate PLCb Membrane recruitment depends on interaction with activated G-proteins (both G a and G bg subunits) 19
G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) induced-signal transduction PLCb-PKC pathway camp PKA pathway 20
Activated Ga interact with and stimulate adenylate cyclase activity Adenylate cyclase 21
Adenylate cyclase is a large enzyme with 12 transmembrane helices camp is a very important second messenger 22
camp is a powerful second messenger camp regulates the function of several effector proteins Protein kinase A (PKA) 23
The intracellular concentration of camp must be carefully regulated The balance between adenylate cyclase and campphosphodiesterase determine the intracellular concentration of camp 10 isoforms > 20 isoforms Different adenylate cyclases and camp-phosphodiesterases can be regulated in different allowing for high degree of fine tuning of camp levels 24
Adenylate cyclases (AC) can be differentially regulated by different types of G-proteins AC are transmembrane proteins that produce camp from ATP all are activated by G sa -GTP some are inhibited by G ia -GTP some are modulated by G bg, Ca 2+ /calmodulin or kinases (PKC, PKA) Adenylate cyclases function as an integration point of inputs from several hormones 25
Smell involves GPCR activation and production of camp that opens an ion channel Membrane depolarization and generation of action potential 26
Protein kinase A is activated by camp 27
Downstream events provoked by PKA activation: CREB-mediated gene expression PKA can regulate gene expression by phosphorylating CREB Activated PKA can move into the nucleus Inside the nucleus PKA phosphorylates CREB (camp-response element binding protein) Phosphorylated CREB binds to CRE and recruits CBP and activates transcription 28
PKA have an important role in regulation of glucose blood levels Glucose storage Can be used for energy production 29
PKA have an important role in regulation of glucose blood levels Gluconeogenesis PEPCK 30
PKA activation promote glycogen breakdown PKA phosphorylate and thereby inactivate glycogen synthase (this will inhibit glycogen production) PKA phosphorylates and activte glycogen phosphorylase kinase Active glycogen phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates and thereby activate glycogen phosphorylase Active glycogen phosphorylates promoteglycogen degradation (release of glucose 1-phosphate) PKA activation stimulate glykogen breakdown and glucose release into blood stream (in liver cells) 31
PKA activation promote glucose synthesis
AKAP proteins and regulation of PKA signaling A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) bind PKA and determines its local concentration as well as access to substrates Different AKAPs are target to different intracellular structures Example makap co-localizes PKA and PDE at the nuclear membrane (heart cells) and this result in self-termination of the rise in camp levels (giving only a pulse) 33
Different cell types respond differently to PKA activation Different cell types express different subsets of PKA substrates and anchoring proteins (AKAPs) due to the differentiation process. The physiological response to PKA activation depends on which substrates get phosphorylated Epinephrine (adrenalin)-induced PKA activation in different cell types result in: Liver Skeletal muscle Cardiac muscle Adipose tissue Intestinal tissue increased convertion of glycogen to glucose and increased glucose synthesis from amino acids increased conversion of glycogen to glucose increased contraction increased hydrolysis of triglycerides increased fluid secretion 34
G-protein coupled receptors can also activate the Erk MAP kinase pathway 35
