#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Phosphorylated CREB binds to CRE-containing target genes and also binds to the co-activator termed CBP/P300, thereby stimulating gene transcription

Two large classes of GTPase switch proteins are used in signal transduction pathways:

1. Heterotrimeric G proteins

2. Monomeric G proteins

Feedback mechanisms suppress signaling by the PKA pathway:

1. Intrinsic GTPase activity of Gαs

2. PDE acts to hydrolyze cAMP to 5′-AMP

3. By BARK
