1 Classification of Receptors 1. G Protein coupled receptors epinephrine, serotonine, glucagon 2. Ion channel receptors acetylcholine receptor 3. Tyrosine kinase-linked receptors cytokine-receptor family 4. Receptors with intrinsic enzymatic activity the receptor has intrinsic catalytic activity receptor tyrosine kinases

2 Receptors with intrinsic enzymatic activity 1. Guanylatcyclase: GTP -> cgmp ANP: peptide hormone, atrium of the heart upon Upon rising blood pressure decreases vascular resistance via a cgmp dependent kinase 2. serin-threonine kinases: TGF ß superfamily growth inhibition, bone formation, 3. receptor tyrosine phosphatases: CD45, expressed on B and T lymphocytes 4. RTKs: EGFR, Insulin, VEGFR

3 The ANP Receptor

4 Receptors with intrinsic enzymatic activity 1. Guanylatcyclase: GTP -> cgmp ANP: peptide hormone, atrium of the heart upon rising blood pressure decreases vascular resistance via a cgmp dependent kinase 2. serin-threonine kinases: TGF ß superfamily growth inhibition, bone formation, 3. receptor tyrosine phosphatases: CD45, expressed on B and T lymphocytes 4. RTKs: EGFR, Insulin, VEGFR

5 CD45 exists in various isoforms cell type specific glykosylation B220 B cell specific D1: active phosphatase highly conserved D2: inactive required for correct folding

7 Constitutive activation of CD45 leads to lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity in mice Cell 2000, 103: 1059

8 Inactivation of CD45 leads to Severe combined Immuno Deficiency (SCID) The hematopoietic-specific transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 functions to regulate Src kinases required for T- and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction. So far, there have been no reports to our knowledge of a human deficiency in a tyrosinespecific phosphatase. Here, we identified a male patient with a deficiency in CD45 due to a large deletion at one allele and a point mutation at the other. The point mutation resulted in the alteration of intervening sequence 13 donor splice site. The patient presented at 2 months of age with severe combined immunodeficiency disease. The population of peripheral blood T lymphocytes was greatly diminished and unresponsive to mitogen stimulation. Despite normal B-lymphocyte numbers, serum immunoglobulin levels decreased with age. Thus, CD45 deficiency in humans results in T- and B-lymphocyte dysfunction. Nature Med 2000, 6:343

9 Implications for Medicine Inhibitors of CD45 have implications in transplant medicine prevention of kidney rejection in mouse models has been proven microglial activation by ß-amyloid peptide can be prevented Alzheimers disease the various specific activatio forms may allow for a relatively specific inhibition dependent on the indication

10 RTKs NGF, PDGF, FGF, EGF, Insulin regulate cell survival, proliferation, differentiation therefore found in cancer constitutive active RTKs RTKs-ras as important signalling cascade leading to cancer
