PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

4.1K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

6.9K
Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential second messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA) and regulates various biological processes. A single epinephrine molecule binds to GPCR and activates several heterotrimeric G proteins, each stimulating multiple adenylyl cyclase, amplifying the signal, and synthesizing large numbers of cAMP molecules. Small changes in cAMP concentration affect PKA activity. The binding of four cAMP molecules induces a conformational change in PKA,...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

9.5K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

6.4K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade01:22

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

12.1K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Area of Science:

  • Bone biology
  • Endocrinology
  • Cell signaling

Background:

  • Parathyroid hormone (PTH) initially activates adenylyl cyclase in osteoblast lineage cells, influencing osteoclast formation and osteoblast differentiation.
  • PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) share structural similarities and act via the common G protein-coupled receptor, PTH1R.
  • Initial signaling involves rapid cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA) activation, suggesting spare receptors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the signaling mechanisms and cellular effects of PTH and PTHrP via the PTH1 receptor.
  • To elucidate the role of endosomal translocation in PTH1R-mediated signaling.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ligand-receptor kinetics for PTH/PTH1R interactions.
  • Studies on adenylyl cyclase activation at the plasma membrane and in endosomes.

Main Results:

  • PTH/PTH1R ligand-receptor complexes translocate to endosomes after initial plasma membrane activation.
  • Adenylyl cyclase activation persists in endosomes for a short period post-translocation.
  • PTH1R endosomal translocation resembles that of other hormone receptors.

Conclusions:

  • PTH1R signaling is not limited to the plasma membrane, with sustained activity observed in endosomes.
  • Endosomal translocation of the PTH1R complex may contribute to prolonged cellular effects.
  • Further research is needed to determine the full impact of endosomal signaling on PTH1R-mediated cellular responses.
