Functions
Caries out the transduction part of the signaling pathway
Most other intracellular receptors function in the same way
Details
1. Found in the cytoplasm or nucleus of target cell
2. Signaling molecule passes through target cell's plasma membrane
Steroid hormone interactions
1.The steroid hormone passes through the plasma membrane
2. Hormone binds to a receptor protein in the cytoplasm activating it
3. The hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus and binds to specific genes
1.The hormone receptor complex turns on genes in a cells DNA function by being transcribed and processed into messenger RNA in the nucleus
2. Leaves the nucleus and is translated into specific proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm
3. Proteins called transcription factors control with genes are tuned on/ transcribed in mRNA
4. The bound proteins acts as a transcription factor , stimulating the transcription of the gene into mRNA
5. The mRNA is translated into a specific protein
G Protein linked Receptor
1. First messenger binds to GPCR, activating it
2. Activated GPCR binds to G protein, which is then bound by GTP, activating G protein
3. Activated G protein/GTP binds to adenylyl cyclase. GTP is hydrolyzed, activating adenylyl cyclase
4. Activated adenylyl cyclase converts ATP to cAMP
5. cAMP (second messenger) activates another protein, leading to cellular responses
Tyrosine Kinase Receptor
(made of 2 polypeptides
which dimerize when a
signal molecule is bound to
each polypeptide)
1. Signal molecule binds the each of the binding-sites
2. Polypeptides dimerize (join together), activating them (unphosphorylated dimer)
3. Autophosphorylation (phosphate group taken from ATP and added to the other polypeptide)
4. Fully activated receptor tyrosine-kinase (phosphorylated dimer)
5. Activated receptor now interacts with other relay proteins to bring out cellular response 1/2
Ion Channel Receptor
(acts as a gate for ions
when the receptor changes
shape)
gate allows specific ions (Na+ or Ca+) through a channel
very important in the nervous system
movement of ions in these channels may change voltage across membranes = triggers action potential
Action potential-
electrical signal that propagates along the membrane of a neuron or other excitable cells as a nongraded depolarization
COMPONENTS
m and tRNAs | Ribosomal Components:
E, P, A sites | large and small subunits | peptidyl transferase, amino-acyl tRNA synthetase | stop, start codons and anticodons | initiation, elongation, and release factors
PROCESS
:1. INITIATION:
- mRNA, tRNA, two ribosomal subunits come together
- GTP and initiation factors required to assemble this complex
- Small ribosome and tRNA bind to 5’cap, scans mRNA for AUG, and then large subunit assembles to form translation initiation complex
2. ELONGATION
- tRNA to A site with amino acid, moves to P site to for peptide bonds, then tRNA exits at E site
- peptide chain grows at the P site
- Each step GTP is used with GDP+P remaining
- Amino acids are added from N(amino) to C (carboxyl)
- peptidyl transferase creates the peptide bonds
- amino-acyl tRNA synthetase adds the appropriate amino acid after reading the mRNA codon
3. TERMINATION
- Stop codon read, release factors sits at A site, and then breaks apart the complex
- Driven by GTP
POST-TERMINATION
- Endomembrane System If it has an ER signal sequence, free ribosomes to the ER to the golgi body, out the cell/other locations via vesicles
- Amino acid signal sequence tell proteins where to go
- Secretory Pathway: path take protein from synthesis to modification to secretion
- Glycoproteins formed from glycosylation, (process of adding carbohydrate groups to proteins)
- Protein destinations: mitochondria, chloroplast, peroxisomes, nucleus
PROKARYOTES VS. EUKARYOTES
PROKARYOTES
- Occurs in the cytoplasm and uses mRNA and tRNA
- Ribosomal components: 70S, Large subunit: 50S (31 proteins) and Small subunit: 30S (21 proteins)
- All steps of translation the same, but elongation uses formal-MET, and lack of organelles means protein destinations are cytosol or plasma membrane
EUKARYOTES
- starts at free ribosomes (cytosol) but moves to
ER if initiated
- Ribosomal components: 80S, Large subunit: 60S (~ 45 proteins) and Small subunit: 40S (~ 33 proteins)
- these have more possibilities with more organelles and pathways than prokaryotes, and it just uses MET
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
-Occurs in cytoplasm, allows coupling between translation and transcription, means as the mRNA made can immediately be translated
-Only RNA polymerase
Eukaryotes
-occurs in nucleus, pre-mRNA is formed
-different RNA polymerases are used to make different RNAs, focus on RNA polymerase II
- initiation uses transcription factors that bind to promoter before RNA polymerase II can bind and uses the transcription initiation complex
-At termination 5' end a CAP is added, and at 3' end a polyA tail is added with the help of polyA polymerase
Procces
Initiation
1. RNA polymerase bind to DNA on the upstream at start site called promoter and then uses a DNA strand as a template strand
2. DNA strand unwinds, polymerase begins to transcribe at start site
3. RNA polymerase make new strand from 5' to 3' but read it from 3' to 5'
Elongation
1. Polymerase moves down stream, unwinding DNA as it transcribes
2. Polymerase add nucleotides to the 3' end of growing RNA molecule
3. New RNA molecule peels away from DNA template and the DNA double helix re-forms
Termination Eukaryotes
1. RNA polymerase II transcribe a signal sequence of AAUAAA to cut RNA transcript free from polymerase
2. pre-mRNA is released then undergoes processing
Termination Prokaryotes
1. The polymerase detaches from DNA and releases then transcript with the help of a transcribed terminator
Transcription Factors
-Eukaryotes use these in initiation the transcription factor bind to promoter before polymerase II
- forms transcription initiation complex
Eukaryotes RNA modifications
RNA Processing
1. ends or pre-mRNA are modified; the 5' end receives a cap and the '3 end receives a poly-A tail
- helps with export of mature mRNA from nucleus, help protect from degradation and help ribosomes attach to 5' end in cytoplasm
RNA Splicing
1. Introns are cut out of molecule and exons are joined together with the help of a complex called spliceosome
