Signaling by G Proteins: –– Heterotrimeric G Proteins –– Ras Superfamily Small GTPases Copyright (c) by W. H. Freeman and Company
Celltocell communication by extracellular signaling usually involves six steps (1) synthesis of the signaling molecule by the signaling cell (2) release of the signaling molecule by the signaling cell (3) transport of the signal to the target cell (4) detection of the signal by a specific receptor protein (5) a change in cellular metabolism, function, or development triggered by the receptorsignal complex ❚ (6) removal of the signal, which usually terminates the cellular response ❚ ❚ ❚ ❚ ❚

G proteincoupled receptors ❚ Many different mammalian cellsurface receptors are coupled to a trimeric signaltransducing G protein ❚ Ligand binding activates the receptor, which activates the G protein, which activates an effector enzyme to generate an intracellular second messenger ❚ All G proteincoupled receptors (GPCRs) contain 7 membranespanning regions with their Nterminus on the exoplasmic face and Cterminus on the cytosolic face ❚ GPCRs are involved in a range of signaling pathways, including light detection, odorant detection, and detection of certain hormones and neurotransmitters Copyright (c) by W.
