GMS 6552 Exam 1
Activation of NF-kB - ANS-Cytokines
Endotoxin
Viruses
Apoptosis inducers
Carcinogens
Tumor promoters
Stress
ROS

Activin - ANS-Type II receptors- ActRII, ActRIIB
Type I receptors- ActRIA, ActRIB, TSRI
Pathway restricted Smads- Smad 2 & 3
Common mediator Smads- Smad 4

Activin subfamily - ANS-FSH production, erythroid cell differentiation, mesoderm induction

Additional receptors signaling mechanisms - ANS-Nitric oxide receptors
The Notch signaling pathway

Agonist Activation of GPCR - ANS-Ligand binds
Promotes conformational changes
Increase in R

Anoikis - ANS-Form of apoptosis due to cell detachment

Antagonist Inhibition of GPCR - ANS-Do not effect basal constitutive signaling
Do not affect receptor conformation when they bind

Apoptosis - ANS-Type I PCD; cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, membrane blebbing, loss of
adhesion

Apoptosis Pathways - ANS-Extrinsic and Intrinsic

Apoptosome Components - ANS-Apaf-1
Cytochrome-c
Caspase 9

B-Arrestin Proteins - ANS-1/2 are evolutionary conserved and ubiquitous
Co-regulators of GPCRS
Protein adaptor/scaffolds

Biased Agonism - ANS-Multiple agonists activate one receptor and produce distinct receptor
conformations and consequent signals

BMP2 subfamily - ANS-Gastrulation, neurogenesis, chondrogenesis, interdigital apoptosis,
mesoderm patterning

BMP2/4 and BMP7 - ANS-Type II receptors- BMPRII, ActRII, ActRIIB
Type I receptors- BMPRIA, BMPRIB, ActRIA, TSRI
Pathway restricted Smads- Smad 1,5,8,9
Common mediator Smads- Smad 4

BMP3 subfamily - ANS-Osteogenic differentiation, monocyte chemotaxis

BMP5 subfamily - ANS-Development, neurogenesis

BMPs - ANS-Smads 1,5,6
Up-regulate p15, p21
Down-regulate c-Myc

Canonical Receptors - ANS-TLRs
TNFR
BCR
TCR

Canonical signaling - ANS-1. Ligand binds to TLR dimers
2. TLR-TIR domains more closely associated
3. MyD88 recruitment via TIR domains
4. Recruitment/activation of IKK complex (NEMO, IKKa, IKKB) via phosphorylation of IKKB
5. IKK phosphorylates IkB
6. Proteasomal degration
7. Freed NF-kB dimer
8. Nuclear translocation
9. Gene transcription

Canonical Signaling Characteristics - ANS-Rapid and transient
Independent of protein synthesis
Respond to numerous stimuli
Diverse functions

Caspases - ANS-Cysteine-dependent aspartic acid-directed proteases
