Study Notes
Introduction to Cell Signalling and Exercise
- Muscle contraction disrupts homeostasis, prompting a response that leads to adaptations to minimize future disruptions.
- Extracellular and intracellular signals, like hormones and changes in AMP, ATP, and reactive oxygen species, are quickly detected by skeletal muscle.
- This detection activates intracellular signal transduction, resulting in altered gene expression and protein synthesis, a process known as regulated transcription.
- In humans, gene transcription is generally "off" until activated by muscle contractions and primary signals.
Cell Signalling Basics
- Cell signalling facilitates communication within cells, linking disturbances in homeostasis to appropriate responses.
- Correct responses lead to adaptations that help prevent future disruptions.
Phosphorylation
- Phosphorylation involves adding a phosphate group to proteins, typically occurring on serine, threonine, and tyrosine amino acids.
- It is a form of post-translational modification, altering proteins after they are synthesized.
- Kinases transfer phosphates from inorganic sources like ATP to target molecules, preparing them for subsequent tasks.
Dephosphorylation
- Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate group from proteins after their function is completed.
- Phosphatases facilitate the removal of phosphates, impacting enzyme activity and initiating signaling cascades.
- These cascades can lead to changes in gene expression, affecting overall protein content in cells.
Linking Exercise Signals to Physiological Adaptation
- Muscle contraction generates metabolic and mechanical stimuli, which include increased ADP, AMP, reactive oxygen species from fuel oxidation, and calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
- These metabolic by-products activate signaling molecules such as protein kinases and phosphatases, initiating signal transduction pathways.
- Signaling pathways activate transcription factors, influencing the expression or repression of specific genes, thereby affecting protein accumulation and adaptation.
Timing of Cellular Responses to Exercise
- Transcription of mRNA occurs shortly after exercise, peaking at 3-12 hours and returning to baseline within 24 hours.
- Excessive exercise results in decreased mRNA responses, underlining the significance of progressive overload in training.
- Single exercise sessions lead to modest increases in protein synthesis, while repeated sessions allow for gradual protein accumulation due to sequential increases in gene expression.
- Long-term training adaptations stem from the cumulative effects of individual exercise sessions, enhancing exercise performance and muscle metabolism.
