Function of signal termination
. Protection for permanent cell stimulation
. Adaption of the cellular response
. Integration of signal chains
Short term signal termination - short term signal -
(sec-min)
fast adaption to signal changes
Reversible
Inactivation of signal molecules
(by chemical modification,
cellular redistribution of signal molecules,
protein/protein interaction)
Long term signal termination - long term signal –
(hours-days)
Irreversible
Inactivation of signal molecules
(by proteolytic degradation,
inhibition of de novo synthesis)
permanent adaption to chronical
signal changes
Short term signal termination - short term signal -
(sec-min)
Reversible
Inactivation of signal molecules
(by chemical modification,
cellular redistribution of signal molecules,

Signaltermination of G protein coupled receptors
(GPCR)
- signal termination of this receptor system is very well characterised
- more than 2000 papers published in this field !
Reason:
- 100.000 genes in the human genom 1000 genes coding for GPCR!
- interesting target for the pharmaceutical industrie
- broad spectre of ligands: neurotransmitter,s mormons,
chemokines, prostanoids, light, odorants
- involved in severe disease: high pressure, chronisc heard failure,
inflammation, HIV, opiat dependence

SUMMARY
Signal termination acts on all steps of the signal chain
1. Agonist:
- Dilution, uptake, degradation
2. Receptor:
- Phosphorylation, uncoupling of the G protein,
internalisation, recycling, degradation, inhibition of synthesis
3. G-Protein:
GTPase function, GAPs and RGS-proteins
4. second-Messenger:
Hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, reesterication
5. Effector enzymes (kinases):
Feedback inhibition
