Okay, this question says sequence the steps of g protein couple receptor signaling from when a signal is first produced to a cascade of further cellular responses.
00:09
So let's see that here.
00:11
If this is your cell membrane, and here you have your g protein couple receptor, and you have here your g protein with the alpha subunit, the beta subunit and the gamma subunit.
00:21
When there is no ligand here, your alpha subunit is going to be bound to gtp.
00:26
Okay, but when a ligand comes and binds here, your gtp is going to be removed and it is going to bind with gtp to the alpha subunit.
00:38
And this interaction is going to allow the alpha subunit to detach from the beta and gamma subunit and go and activate an enzyme called adenylase cyclase that is going to break down atp to cyclic amp.
00:51
So the levels of cyclic amp are going to rise in these high levels of cyclic amp are known as the second messenger while this ligand here is the first messenger.
01:02
So this increase in cyclic amp levels are going to activate the protein kinase a and this protein kinase a is going to phosphorylate many substrates, for example, ion channels, transcription factors and others.
01:14
Okay, so let's label here.
01:17
What is the first step? well, this is the first step.
01:21
The first messenger binds receptor protein activates.
01:24
This is step number one...
