?
extracellular signals molecules are recieved by
a receptor protein
1 of 20
intracellular signalling proteins
process the signal and distribute it to the appropriate effors
2 of 20
What are the 4 types of inter-cellular signalling?
contact-dependant, paracrine, synaptic and endocrine
3 of 20
what are two extracellular molecules?
nitric oxide and insulin
4 of 20
examples of lipophilic hormones
cortisol, estradiol, thyroxine etc
5 of 20
what binds to the receptor preventing DNA binding and gene transcription?
inhibitory protein
6 of 20
What binds to allow transcription
ligand
7 of 20
how do ligands bind to proteins?
by noncovalent interactions
8 of 20
the occupancy of the receptor is...
proportional to the concentration of the ligand
9 of 20
What are the three classes of cell surface receptors?
ion channel coupled, G protein coupled and enzyme coupled
10 of 20
what are exampled of intracellular signalling proteins
c-AMP, diacylglycerol (often called second messengers)
11 of 20
what is cAMP?
a small molecule involved in the trasmission of certain signals inside cells
12 of 20
what three types of amino acids do phosphate attach to side chains?
serine, threonine and tyrosine
13 of 20
Cytokines
immune messenger molecule often acting at short distances
14 of 20
SH2 domain
a recurring protein domain in intracellular signalling
15 of 20
What does the binding of GTP do?
changes the conformation of the G protein, enabling it to transmit signals
16 of 20
what additional proteins does GTP rely on?
GAP and GEF
17 of 20
what does the Wnt pathway regulate?
proliferation in the small intestine
18 of 20
Growth signals from Wnt proteins are submitted when..
b-catenin accumulates
19 of 20
What is a molecular switch?
A molecule or an event able to switch on or off a signalling pathway
