What is Signal Transduction?
What are the Secondary Messengers involved in this process?
How do they work?

Signal Transduction
A basic process involving the conversion of a signal from outside the cell to a functional chemical change within the cell
![Page 4: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Signal Transduction
A ligand specifically and reversibly binds to a receptor forming a complex
Once the ligand binds, secondary messengers are produced within the target cell

Signal Transduction
General features of signal transduction that are common to all:
1. Signal interacts with a receptor
2. The activated receptor interacts with machinery producing a secondary signal
3. A change in the metabolic activity of the target cell occurs
4. Transduction event ends and the cell returns to prestimulus state

G ProteinsG proteins bind GDP or GTP nucleotides
They are made up of three different subunits associated with the inner surface of the plasma membrane and transmembrane receptors, which are called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
Three subunits are:Gα – binds the nucleotidesGβ dimerGγ
![Page 8: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
G proteinsIn the inactive state, Gα has GDP in its binding
site
Ligand binds to GPCR causing a conformational change
GDP leaves and GTP binds activating Gα and causing it to dissociate from the GβGγ dimer
Activated Gα will then activate an effector molecule such as adenylyl cyclase – an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to the secondary messenger cAMP

Secondary Messengers
Main classes of secondary messengers:Cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP)Inositol trisphosphate (IP3)Diacylglycerol (DAG)Calcium ions (Ca2+)
![Page 11: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cyclic Nucleotides
Cyclic AMP (cAMP)
Major secondary messenger used in many pathways of the body
Adenylyl cyclase, activated by a G protein, synthesizes cAMP from ATP
Some hormones that use cAMP:GlucagonLHAdrenaline
![Page 12: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cyclic Nucleotides
Protein Kinase A is a type of protein that is activated by cAMP
It is known as a cAMP-dependent protein kinase that phosphorylates target proteins to activate them
![Page 13: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cyclic Nucleotides
Cyclic GMP (cGMP)
Synthesized from GTP using guanylyl cyclase
Effects of cGMP are mediated through Protein Kinase G – a cGMP-dependent kinase that phosphorylates target proteins
cGMP serves as a secondary messenger for hormones such as ANP and nitric oxide
![Page 15: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Inositol Trisphosphate and Diacylglycerol
IP3 and DAG are secondary messengers that are activated by G proteins
Hormones like ADH, TSH, and angiotensin or NTs like GABA bind to GPCRs and activate an enzyme called phospholipase C (PLC)
![Page 16: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PLC then hydrolyzes a specific phospholipid known as phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)
Hydrolysis of this phospholipid yields two products:Diacylglycerol (DAG)Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)
![Page 17: Signal Transduction and Secondary Messengers Mahmoud Farhat.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649f3f5503460f94c5f999/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
DAG recruits Protein Kinase C – a calcium dependent protein kinase that phosphorylates target proteins
IP3 makes calcium available for activation of PKC

Calcium (Ca2+)
Calcium is one of the most important and widely used secondary messenger throughout the body
