CONTENTS CELL SIGNALLING TYPES OF SECOND MESSENGERS CHARECTERISTICS OF SECOND MESSENGERS HORMONES ACTING THROUGH CYCLIC AMP MECHANISM OF ACTION OF CYCLIC AMP EFFECTS OF CYCLIC AMP
HISTORY Earl Wilbur Sutherland Jr. – 1971 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Epinephrine – liver - glycogen to glucose – cAMP
INTRODUCTION Cyclic AMP is a cyclic nucleotide Chemically it is a 3’5’ adenosine monophosphate It is synthesized in tissues from ATP under influence of ADENYLYL CYCLASE in presence of Mg ion Degraded to 5’AMP in by P hosphodiesterase It is a Second M essenger
cell signaling- 3 processes A series of signaling events that mediate the response to each stimulus. specific amplified regulated coordinated. receptors plasma membrane , cytoplasm or nucleus.
Second Messengers cAMP pathway cGMP pathway IP 3 / DAG pathway Calcium as a second messenger Eicosanoids
Second Messengers General characteristics Low amounts in resting state Regulated synthesis Regulated destruction Act through other proteins
EFFECTS OF CYCLIC AMP ALTERED GLYCOGEN METABOLISM BY ENZYME REGULATION ALTERED GENE TRANSCRIPTION HORMONE ESTRADIOL SECRETION ALTERED ION TRANSPORT - HCL SECRETION IN STOMACH WATER REABSORPTION BY ANTI DIURETIC HORMONE CAFFEINE – PHOSPHODIESTERASE INHIBITORS DRUGS – SALBUTAMOL , THEOPHYLLINE
Summary Cyclic amp is a mediator of hormone action Second messenger Activates protein kinase A Causes glycogenolysis Causes lipolysis Modulates Transcription Activates Hormone secretion Increases gastric secretion Regulates cell permeability to water
