IT'S Ptes Different target cells can respond differently to the same signalling molecule where their responses depend on the itype of receptor and f the2intracellular reaction initiated by that signalling molecules. 2 Cell Signalling man Based on the distance over which the signalling molecule act, Cell signalling can be classified into: Hormonsmovetosestematic cercellation glands 1.Endocrine signalling in which the signalling molecule or hormone such as insulin acts on target cell distant from the site of synthesis in cells of an endocrine organ which is pancreas in the present example. The endocrine cells secret the signalling molecule into the blood stream (or sap in plants) which carries it to the target elsewhere in organism’s body.

The communication from one nerve cell to another by chemical neurotransmitter is an example of paracrine signalling. 3.

This allows different target cells to respond differently to the same signaling molecule or ligand. fetoareceptors Cell-surface receptors are classified into three classes depending on how they transfer the information from the ligand to the interior of the cell: 1. enzyme-linked 2. Ion channel-linked 3. G protein-linked Torsin Kagnate ligand 18 Cell-Surface receptors 1. Enzyme-linked receptor On binding of the ligand, the cell-surface receptor undergoes conformational change that activates an intrinsic enzyme activity. For example, the insulin receptor is a complex of two α subunits and two β subunits held together by disulphide linkages. By binding to the polypeptide insulin, the receptor undergoes a conformational change leading to autophosphorylation of the cytosolic enzymatic domain of the6β subunits where the OH groups of the tyrosine residues are phosphorylated by ATP as the phosphate donor, a receptor tyrosine kinases. adationofphosphate The phosphorylated receptor is then recognized by other proteins which in turnbow modulate various intracellular events. This allows the cell to respond to the hormone properly. In addition, the β subunits can directly phosphorylate target proteins within the cell. 19 Cell-Surface receptors 2. ion-channel receptor Neroussystem paracraim Here binding of the ligand again causes a conformational change which opens the ion-channel receptor. This allows the flow of certain ion through the channel which subsequently alters the electrical potential across the membrane. For example; At the nerve-muscle junction, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine binds to a specific receptors that allow Na+ ions to flow into the target cell and K+ ions out of the target cell. 20 receptor muscells ok in eat out Cell-Surface receptors 1. G protein-linked receptors On binding to its ligand, a G protein-linked receptor activates G protein [guanyl nucleotide (GTP)-binding proteins] which in turn1activate or inhibit either an enzyme the 2 atgenerates a specific second messenger or an ion channel causing a change in the membrane potential.

G protein-linked receptors G proteins are localized on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane and act as on-off molecular switches. When it has guanosine diphosphate GDP bound, the G protein is in the “off” molecular switches, where the activated receptor causes the G protein to release the GDP and exchange it with GTP. This in turn convert G protein to the “on” state. The activated G protein with its bound GTP then dissociates from the receptor and binds to and activates an effector enzyme (such as adenylate cyclase) which in turn catalyses the formation of a second messenger (such as cAMP). The G protein then hydrolyses the bound GTP to GDP and revert back of its “off” state. 22 23 Second Messengers The binding of signalling molecules (ligands) to guanyl nucleotide (GTP)- binding proteins (G protein-linked receptors) lead to a short-lived increase in the concentration of certain intracellular signalling molecules called second messengers. The second messengers include: 1. 3’, 5’-cyclic AMP (cAMP), 2. 3’, 5’- cyclic GMP (cGMP), 3. inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3), i 4. 1,2-diacylglycerol s (DAG) 5. and Ca2+ 24 Second Messengers I The elevation in the level of one of these second messengers leads to a rapid alteration in cellular function. cAMP and cGMP are derived from ATP and GTP by the action of CAMP CGMP adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase ATP GTP respectively. For example, the action of glucagon is mediated through the cAMP. ATP 25 Second Messengers IP3 and DAG are derived from the membrane lipid action a Omni split phosphatidylinositol 4,5 biphosphate by the action of phospholipase offC which also located in plasma membrane and also activated like adenylate cyclase by G proteins. 26 Second Messengers One of the main actions of the polar IP3 is to diffuse through the cytosol and interact with Ca2+ channels in the ER membrane causing the release of stored Ca2+ ions which in turn mediate various cellular responses. to PIP2; phosphatidylinositol 4,5 biphosphate. DAG; GDP Diacylglycerol. I protein set 27 C PSP phospholipase Second Messengers The DAG (and IP3) which is produced by the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-Bisphosphate together with Ca2+ ions released from the ER activates protein Kinase C, a membrane-bound enzyme that phosphorylates various target Proteins similarly lead to alterations in a variety of cellular processes. DAG cat I p ER 28 29 30 Neurotransmitters Chemical substances which are released at the end of a nerve fibre by the arrival of a nerve impulse and, by diffusing across the synapse or junction, effects the transfer of the impulse to another nerve fibre, a muscle fibre, or some other structure. Thus, neurotransmitters are required for the communication between nerve cells (neurones) or nerve and muscle cells by a rapid action (within seconds– action then terminated) where their actions could be excitatory or inhibitory 31 Neurotransmitters Numerous neurotransmitters were identified including: AA 1. Small molecule neurotransmitter; the amino acid neurotransmitters 1glutamate,2GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), and 3glycine. All of these are amino acids, though GABA is not an amino acid that's found in proteins. 2. The biogenic amines (with one or more amine group) which are made from amino acid precursors. Hormones Decarboxylation of histidine 2 32 transmitter Nuoro d Precursor is L-tryptophan Neurotransmitters NitrogenicBase Purin 3. The purinergic neurotransmitters ATP and adenosine, which are nucleotides and nucleosides. tribose Adnan Ach 4. Acetylcholine, which does not fit into any of the other structural categories but is a key neurotransmitter at neuromuscular junctions (where nerves connect to muscles), as well as certain other synapses. 33 Neurotransmitters GAMAglazing glutamatGABA 5. Neuropeptides, The neuropeptides are each made up of three or more amino acids and are larger than the small molecule transmitters. There are a great many different neuropeptides. Some of them include the endorphins As which inhibit pain; Substance P, which AAand enkephalins, carries pain signals; and Neuropeptide Y, which stimulates eating and may act to prevent seizures. 34 Other signalling molecules 1. Retinoic Acid which is derived from vitamin A. 2. Vitamin D which is synthesized in the skin in response to sunlight. 3. NO which is a colourless gas that is relatively stable free radical synthesised from molecular oxygen and guanidinium nitrogen of arginine in the reaction catalysed by NO synthase in many tissues. NO acts near the point of release, entering the targe cell and activating the cytosolic enzyme guanylyl cyclase which catalyses the formation of the cGMP. NO is an essential molecule involved in several physiological and pathological processes within the mammalian body. 4. Cytokines which are a number of substances, such as interferon, interleukin, and growth factors, which are secreted by certain cells of the 35 immune system and have an effect on other cells.
