Axon Terminal

(terminal boutons; presynaptic terminals) - swelling of axon at its terminal end, enriched with vesicles containing neurotransmitter - forms "synaptic contact" with receptive region of a second neuron (i.e. a postsynaptic neuron - swellings filled with vesicles can also occur along length of axon giving rise to a beaded appearance (these swellings are called varicosities); may form synapses

A.Glutamic acid (glutamate)

•Reuptake (GLT) •Transport into glial cells (GLT/GLAST) •Conversion to glutamine (GS) •Transport into GABAergic neuron (SAT) •Package into vesicles (VGLUT) (answer 66)

000

1) Inactive tyrosine kinase domains (TKDs) are autoinhibited in cis by the juxtamembrane (JM) region. 2) Ligand binding induces a dimeric receptor assembly. 3) Conformational changes within "D" domains induce interactions between the intracellular regions that alleviate juxtamembrane inhibition 4) This event promotes transactivation of the TKDs (answer = 000)

Downstream response - NGF receptor

1) Nerve growth factor (NGF) activates neuronal differentiation and survival. 2) As other RTKs, NGF activates MAP kinase pathway and PI3 kinase pathway. **In reality, these pathways may entangle each other further downstream for cross signaling events**

Downstream response of Cytokine receptors

1) STAT reaches the nucleus 2) it binds to a consensus DNA-recognition motif called gamma-activated sites (GAS) in the promoter region of cyt.okine-inducible genes and 3) transcription is activated 4) The STAT protein can be dephosphorylated by nuclear phosphatases, which leads to inactivation of STAT and subsequent transport out of the nucleus by an exportin-RanGTP complex.

Downstream response explanation

1) hormone enters cell 2) Hormone binds to Ligand binding domain 3) the binding of that domain kicks out the HSP 4)Nuclear Receptor + hormone complex then undergoes further dimerization so that it can go through the nuclear pore 5) once it enters the nucleus from the nuclear pore, it can act as a transcription factor and result in mRNA

Downstream response - Insulin Receptor

1) ligan binds to insulin receptor 2) the receptor phosphorylates 3) GLUT4 is transported to the surface (when inactive, not much GLUT4 at surface -- when active, a lot of GLUT4 is recruited by the receptor 4) Glut4 transports glucose molecules inside the cell

Key steps in signal transduction

1)Release of the primary messenger (i.e., GPCR ligand) 2)Reception of the primary messenger, signal molecule binds to receptor 3) Relay: modulation by other factors 4) Amplification 5) Delivery of the message inside the cell by the second messenger to multiple targets

The SNARE Cycle

1. Synaptobrevin interacts with two plasma membrane target proteins, the transmembrane protein syntaxinand the peripheral membrane protein SNAP-25. 2.The three proteins form a tight complex bringing the vesicle and presynaptic membranes in close apposition (see part B). Munc18 binds to the SNARE complex. 3.Calcium influx triggers rapid fusion of the vesicle and plasma membranes; the SNARE complex now resides in the plasma membrane. 4.Two proteins, NSF and SNAP (unrelated to SNAP-25), bind to the SNARE complex and cause it to dissociate in an ATP-dependent reaction.
