| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| List mechanism titles | cAMP cGMP PI3K/Akt & mTOR/victor MAPK JAK/STAT & TGFR/Smad NF-kB Hedgehog, Wnt & Notch GPCRs Protein-tyrosine kinases serine/threonine kinases(Akt) Rhodopsin Ryanodine receptors (RYR) Arrestin & GRKs |
| Enzyme for ATP to cAMP | Adenylate cyclase |
| Enzyme for cAMP to ATP | cAMP phosphodiesterase |
| cAMP does what? | kinase activation, including PKA activation for heterologous receptor desensitization of non-ligand bound Rs |
| cGMP does what? | cGMP dependent protein kinases and direct ion channel activation |
| Enzyme for GTP to cGMP | Guanylyl cyclase |
| Enzyme for PIP2 to IP3 + DAG | Phospholipase C (PLC) |
| DAG activates what? | PKC (receptor desensitizer) |
| PKA does what? | Heterologous desensitization of non-ligand bound receptors |
| PKC does what? | Heterologous desensitization of non-ligand bound receptors |
| IP3 does what? | #Calcium mobolisation via ligand on ER |
| Enzyme for PIP2 to PIP3? | PI3K |
| PI3K does what? | PIP2 to PIP3 |
| PIP3 does what? | Binds both Akt & PDK-1 to membrane, makes Akt & PDK-1 more likely to interact. PDK-1 & mTOR/victor both phosphorylate Akt. Activated Akt then can cause cell death via mechanisms. |
| Akt does what? | PIP3 binds both Akt & PDK-1 to membrane, makes Akt & PDK-1 more likely to interact. PDK-1 & mTOR/victor both phosphorylate Akt. Activated Akt then can cause cell death via mechanisms. |
| PDK-1 does what? | PIP3 binds both Akt & PDK-1 to membrane, makes Akt & PDK-1 more likely to interact. PDK-1 & mTOR/victor both phosphorylate Akt. Activated Akt then can cause cell death via mechanisms. |
