Formation of cAMP from ATP by the plasma membrane-bound enzyme adenylate cyclase is modulated by both stimulatory and inhibitory receptors(R, and Ri)(see Figure 1-13)and G proteins(Gs and Gi)(see Figure 1-13). Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)promotes the activation of protein kinase A(PKA) Protein kinase A exists as two subunits, one regulatory and the other catalytic. Binding of cAMP causes the two subunits to dissociate and the catalytic subunit to become activated so that it is capable of phosphorylating proteins, thereby altering their function and bringing about a biologic action. The most prominent example of this second messenger system and the duality of effects that can be elicited by the same ligand are seen in the action of epinephrine(adrenaline). When it acts on d2-adrenoreceptors, it causes inhibition of cAMP formation; when it acts on pr-adrenoreceptors, it pro- motes cAmp formation The phospholipase C system. As shown in Figure 1-5, phospholipase C cleaves membrane phospholipids so as to yield DAg plus the head portion of the phospholipid. The two most relevant C-type phospholipases are phospholipase CB(PLP-CB), which is attached to the cytosolic side of the plasma membrane, and phospholipase Cy(PLP-Cy), which is a cytosolic enzyme. Phospholipase-CB is activated by ga proteins and, therefore, requires binding and hydrolysis of GTP(Figure 1-14). Phospholipase-Cy is activated by tyrosine kinase-linked receptors and requires (1)ATP hydrolysis for activation and(2) translocation from the cytosol to an attachment point on the plasma membrane.

The second messengers are intracellular transducers and function to produce cellular responses to extracellular signals. The adenylate cyclase system. Formation of cAMP from ATP by the plasma membrane–bound enzyme adenylate cyclase is modulated by both stimulatory and inhibitory receptors (Rs and Ri) (see Figure 1–13) and G proteins (Gs and Gi) (see Figure 1–13). Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) promotes the activation of protein kinase A (PKA). Protein kinase A exists as two subunits, one regulatory and the other catalytic. Binding of cAMP causes the two subunits to dissociate and the catalytic subunit to become activated so that it is capable of phosphorylating proteins, thereby altering their function and bringing about a biologic action. The most prominent example of this second messenger system and the duality of effects that can be elicited by the same ligand are seen in the action of epinephrine (adrenaline). When it acts on α2-adrenoreceptors, it causes inhibition of cAMP formation; when it acts on β1-adrenoreceptors, it promotes cAMP formation. The phospholipase C system. As shown in Figure 1–5, phospholipase C cleaves membrane phospholipids so as to yield DAG plus the head portion of the phospholipid. The two most relevant C-type phospholipases are phospholipase Cβ (PLP-Cβ), which is attached to the cytosolic side of the plasma membrane, and phospholipase Cγ (PLP-Cγ), which is a cytosolic enzyme. Phospholipase-Cβ is activated by Gq proteins and, therefore, requires binding and hydrolysis of GTP (Figure 1–14). Phospholipase-Cγ is activated by tyrosine kinase–linked receptors and requires (1) ATP hydrolysis for activation and (2) translocation from the cytosol to an attachment point on the plasma membrane. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate (PIP2) is the membrane phospholipid that is most important for the phospholipase-C system. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate2 is 30 PDQ PHYSIOLOGY

Inositol 1, 4, 5- trisphosphate operates by a receptor-mediated mechanism to elevate cytosolic [Ca*(see Figure 1-14).
