Complexity
The Same ligand can has different receptors and even the same receptor is stimulated, it can generates different responses!
Actetylcholine let heart muscle to relax
The same receptor in salivary gland results in slivar secrection
The different receptor in skeletal muscle cells make it contraction
The Receptors
Synthetic ligands
agonist
structural analogs that bind to a receptor, change it conformation and activates the cell's biochemical response
complete agonist
double the effects of the partial agonist
partial agonist
mimic the effects of its natural ligand
reverse agonist
reduces the response to smaller than the base level
antagonist
structural analogs that bind the receptor without triggering the normal effect(no or different in conformational changes) and thereby block the effects of agonists
Affinity
the synthetic agonist and antagonist usually have stronger affinity than the natural ligand
The aminoacids responsed for the interactions with agonist and antagonist are usually shared but not indentical

3 essential components(in β adrenergic receptor)
A receptor with 7 transmembrane helical domain
hydrophobic
with each 20-28 amino acids
The binding site of epinephrine is deep within the plasma membrane
promotes the conformational change in the receptor's intracellular domain, and catalyzes
heterotrimeric G protein (guanosine nucleotide-binding protein)
Gs
heterotrimeric
αβγ
activate when GTP binds to it nucleotide binding site
β and γ subunits dissociate from α subunit as a βγ dimmer
Gsα with its bound GTP move in the plane of the membrane from the receptor to stimulate a near by Adenyl cyclase
Gsa is held to membrane by a covalently attached palmitoyl group
inactivated when GDP binds to it
effector enzyme in the plasma membrane
The down streams of it
The G protein independent signaling is done by arrestin, which activates ERK 1,2(MAPK) and activates the MAP kinase pathway.
Enzyme-linked receptors
Common
All single transmembrane domain
2 common organizations
The Phosphorylated tyrosines on the receptors are always bind to SH2 domains of other proteins
SH2 domain can recognizes phosphotyrosine
RTK(Receptor tyrosin kinase)
Insulin receptors
disulphide bonded tetramer
2 Insulin}extracellular domain---->cross phosphorylation
can be viewed as already dimmerized
EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor
Organization
only exists in multicellular organisms
EGF can stimulates the growth of epidermal cells
EGF recsptor is a single polypeptide chain containing 1186 aminoacids
Dimerization
EGF}extracellular domain---->receptor dimerization----> cross phosphorylation
dimerized through dimerization arm
cross phosphorylation results in a correct conformational change that brings the tyrosine into the kinase active site
Down stream
Grb-2 (growth factor-receptor bound protein-2)
contains a SH2 domain flanked by 2 SH3 domains
SH3 binds the C-terminal prolin rich sequences on Sos
It central domain has guanosine nucleotide exchange factor!
Its C-terminal has proline rich segments
Sos recruits and activates the membrane anchored G-protein: Ras
Ras
Will finally activates ser/Thr kinases raf through direct interactive, and it activates certain transcription factors through MAPK kinases cascade
MAPKK is also known as MEK(MAPK/ERK kinase)
It is activated by phosphorylation of specific Tyr+Thr residues
It shows dule specificities to phosphorylates 2 kinds of residues
MAPK also have other names like
ERKs (extracellular-signal regulated protein kinases)
MAP kinases/mitogen-activated protein
MAPK will migrates to nucleus and activates transcription factors: Jun, Fos, and Myc.

Functions of FGF

Down stream signaling
How it is activated?
heparin is tetrasaccharide and shows some activity
hexasaccharide is the minimum amount for crystallography
decasaccharide(10) is the optimum amount for activation
All the extracellular matrix coactivators for FGFR
The order they bind
Anosmin+HS
The anosmin must first binds to HS, when it first binds to the receptor(it can), it will inhibits the HS from further binding.
Proteins
E-selectin (an integral membrane protein, involved in cell adhesion, binds FGFs, effect unknown)
Cadherins (Ca2+-dependent adhesion, bind FGFR and signal through these)
Neuropilin-1 (acts co-receptor for FGF, increases cell growth responses)
Anosmin-1 (a secreted extracellular matrix-associated glycoprotein responsible for normal development, altered cell growth responses)
Sugars
Heparan sulphate proteoglycans-HSPG (specialised glycoprotein family)
HS attached on HSPG has same structure with the "heparin", with repeated units of sulfated disaccharide
More specificaly, the disaccharide is variably-sulfated uronic acid (D-glucuronic or l-iduronic acid) and glucosamine (N-acetylated or N-sulfated) monosaccharides
specific sugar sequences sulfation/acetylation/epimerisation patterns
confer selective protein-binding properties.
HS binding FGF>dimerisation of FGF>together form ternary complex with FGFR
3 detailed models proposed
1. Conformational Change
HS{FGF->conformational change of FGF->high affinity and activation of FGFR
HS binding can increase FGF's thermal stability
2. Growth hormone
1*FGF{1*FGFR, the HS then recruits another FGFR, the FGF is bivalent, and HS function as a glue.
site directed mutagenesis suggests the FGF is bivalent
3. Ligand induced dimerization
2FGF,2FGFR
The HS could be 1/2
Evidence by X-ray
Non-receptor tyrosin kinase
GHR (Growth hormone receptors)
Dimerization
1GH}2*GHR=Receptor dimer

Domain organization

Other family members
JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, Tyk2
Down stream pathways
JAK-STAT transducin pathways
A Tyr near the C-terninus of STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) is phosphorylated by JAK
This cause that the 2 STAT dimerize by their interactions of SH2-phosphotyrosine
The dimerization great increase its binding affinity for DNA
6 mamilian STAT exist, they can form homo-or heterodimers
Grb2-MAPK pathways
Other are receptors for the "cytokines"

Mineralocorticoids
ex. aldosterone

Thyroid hormones
Genomic responses (most cases)
intimately related to the regulation of gene expression
alter the rate at which specific genes are transcribed and translated into cellular proteins.
After ligand binding, the inhibitory proteins dissociates, and it recruits the coactivator proteins, they together recognize specific promotor region and activate its transcription
For estrogen, the specific DNA element in promoter is called estrogen response elements(ERE), it contains a consensus sequence
5’-AGGTCANNNTGACCT-3
The sequence is symmetrical for the asymmetrical dimmer receptor
The DNA-binding motifs are zinc-finger motifs
There are α helixes in each DNA major groove
THe domain organization
AF1 mediates a ligand-independent transactivation. It harbours phosphorylation sites and interaction sites for steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs).
a
but SRC binds to the hormone only after the hormone binding, which stimulates conformational changes( α helix c-terminus close up) and creates a hormone binding site
The antagonist binding will creates a different conformational change, and do not exposes the hormone binding site
Coorporators usually contains NR box, its consensus sequence will interacts with the ligand binding domain of NR
They also surves as adapter to link general transcription factors and NR
They can have enzymatic activities for histone modification
some coactivaters like SRC-3 can be phosphorylated and activated by upstream signaling after it successfuly binds to the NR
AF2 domain of E and F region is well conserved among the members of the nuclear receptor superfamily and functions in most cases in ligand-dependent way.
The D variable linker domain controls the movement of the receptor to the nucleus, and a ligand- binding domain.
The moderately conserved ligand-binding domain (LBD) can include a nuclear localization signal, amino-acid sequences capable of binding chaperones and parts of dimerization interfaces.

Ca2+ here inhibits the Guanylyl cyclase
Guanylyl cyclase activity is inhibited by Ca2+. In the dark, Ca2+ enters the rod through the cGMP gated channels. After illumination, entry of Ca2+ stops, but its export through a Ca2+ exchanger continues. Consequently, cytosolic Ca2+ decreases and relieves inhibition of guanylyl cyclase.
