Resumen

Las células usan nanodomains cAMP independientes asociados al receptor (RAIN) para distinguir las señales de diferentes receptores acoplados a proteínas G (GPCR). Esto permite miles de señales celulares independientes, en lugar de un simple interruptor de encendido / apagado.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología celular
La señalización molecular
La bioquímica

Sus antecedentes:

Los receptores acoplados a proteínas G (GPCR) median las respuestas celulares a estímulos externos.
Las células utilizan un número limitado de segundos mensajeros, como el monofosfato cíclico de adenosina (cAMP), para diversas vías de señalización.
Los mecanismos por los que las células diferencian las señales de numerosos GPCR permanecen en gran medida sin aclarar.

Objetivo del estudio:

Investigar cómo los GPCR individuales generan unidades de señalización distintas dentro de una célula.
Para explorar la organización espacial y la independencia de los grupos de mensajeros secundarios.
Para entender la base para la discriminación de la señal celular.

Principales métodos:

Utilizó nanorreguladores de GPCR diseñados para mapear las concentraciones locales de cAMP.
Se investigó la señalización del péptido similar al glucagón 1 (GLP-1) y los receptores β2-adrenérgicos.
Analizó el confinamiento espacial y la independencia de las piscinas cAMP.

Principales resultados:

Se ha demostrado que los GPCR individuales generan nanodomains cAMP independientes asociados a los receptores (RAIN).
Demostró que las RAIN crean grupos de cAMP altamente localizados protegidos de otros compartimentos de señalización.
Se han revelado gradientes de CAMP a lo largo de decenas de nanómetros, definiendo RAINs individuales.
Se estableció que las células pueden administrar simultáneamente miles de eventos de señalización independientes a través de RAIN.

Conclusiones:

Las GPCRs envían señales a través de nanodomains cAMP segregados espacialmente (RAIN).
Las RAIN permiten a las células procesar numerosas señales distintas simultáneamente.
Este mecanismo de nanodominio subyace a respuestas celulares complejas más allá de la sencilla señalización de encendido/apagado.

GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity

GPCRs Regulate Adenylyl Cylase Activity

Some GPCRs transmit signals through adenylyl cyclase (AC), a transmembrane enzyme. AC helps synthesize second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). AC catalyzes cyclization reaction and converts ATP to cAMP by releasing a pyrophosphate. The pyrophosphate is further hydrolyzed to phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase, which drives cAMP synthesis to completion. However, cAMP is rapidly degraded to 5′ AMP by the enzymes phosphodiesterase (PDE), preventing overstimulation of...

G-protein Coupled Receptors

G-protein Coupled Receptors

G-protein coupled receptors are ligand binding receptors that indirectly affect changes in the cell. The actual receptor is a single polypeptide that transverses the cell membrane seven times creating intracellular and extracellular loops. The extracellular loops create a ligand specific pocket which binds to neurotransmitters or hormones. The intracellular loops holds onto the G-protein.

Intracellular Signaling Cascades

Intracellular Signaling Cascades

Once a ligand binds to a receptor, the signal is transmitted through the membrane and into the cytoplasm. The continuation of a signal in this manner is called signal transduction. Signal transduction only occurs with cell-surface receptors, which cannot interact with most components of the cell, such as DNA. Only internal receptors can interact directly with DNA in the nucleus to initiate protein synthesis. When a ligand binds to its receptor, conformational changes occur that affect the...

G Protein-coupled Receptors

G Protein-coupled Receptors

G Protein-Coupled Receptors or GPCRs are membrane-bound receptors that transiently associate with heterotrimeric G proteins and induce an appropriate response to sensory stimuli such as light, odors, hormones, cytokines, or neurotransmitters.
GPCRs are also called heptahelical, 7TM, or serpentine receptors, and consist of seven (H1-H7) transmembrane alpha-helices that span the bilayer to form a cylindrical core. The transmembrane helices are connected by three extracellular loops and three...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Calmodulin-dependent Signaling

Calmodulin-dependent Signaling

Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...
