Receptor-Receptor Interactions

Abstract

Many neurotransmitters are now known to act by using a ubiquitous signal transduction mechanism based on the hydrolysis of a unique lipid (Downes, 1983; Nahorski et al, 1986). The lipid in question is phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns4,5P2) located within the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane where it is stored as a precursor to be used by the receptor mechanism to generate second messengers (Downes & Michell, 1985; Berridge, 1984; Berridge & Irvine, 1984). The transmitters known to operate through this inositol lipid mechanism include acetylcholine (muscarinic), norepinephrine (α1), histamine (H1), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT2) vasopressin (V1), substance P, bradykinin, neurotensin and glutamate. Upon binding its appropriate transmitter, the receptor operates through a GTP-binding protein (Gp) which activates a phosphoinositidase to cleave Ptdlns4,5P2 at its phosphodiester bond to release inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins1,4,5P3) which diffuses into the cytosol leaving diacylglycerol (DG) behind in the membrane. This hydrolysis of PtdIns4,5P2 is a key event in signal transduction because both products give rise to second messengers and thus represents a bifurcation in the signal pathway. The DG functions by stimulating protein kinase C (C-kinase) (Nishizuka, 1986) whereas Ins1,4,5P3 mobilizes calcium (Berridge, 1984; Berridge & Irvine, 1984).
