The ros genes appear to resemble those of erbB and also the insulin receptor. They encode transmembrane proteins, and their nudeotide sequences suggest they have a number of structural features in common (Wang, 1988). c-Ros is a receptor-like protein kinase with an extracellular domain of about 2000 amino... 

FIGURE 1 2-2 Schematic diagram of the phosphorylation sites on each of the four 60kDa subunits of tyrosine hydroxylase (TOHase). Serine residues at the N-terminus of each of the four subunits of TOHase can be phosphorylated by at least five protein kinases. (J), Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM KII) phosphorylates serine residue 19 and to a lesser extent serine 40. (2), cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylates serine residue 40. (3), Calcium/phosphatidylserine-activated protein kinase (PKC) phosphorylates serine 40. (4), Extracellular receptor-activated protein kinase (ERK) phosphorylates serine 31. (5), A cdc-like protein kinase phosphorylates serine 8. Phosphorylation on either serine 19 or 40 increases the activity of TOHase. Serine 19 phosphorylation requires the presence of an activator protein , also known as 14-3-3 protein, for the expression of increased activity. Phosphorylation of serines 8 and 31 has little effect on catalytic activity. The model shown includes the activation of ERK by an ERK kinase. The ERK kinase is activated by phosphorylation by PKC.

Fig. 7.10. Functions and regulation of protein kinase C. Receptor-controlled signal pathways lead to formation of the intracellular messenger substances and diacylglycerol (DAG), that, like phorbol ester (TPA), activate protein kinase C (PKC). Translocation to the cell membrane is linked with activation of protein kinase C receptors for protein kinase C, the RACK proteins, are also involved. Substrates of protein kinase C are the MARCKS proteins and other proteins associated with the cytoskeleton. Other substrates are the Raf kinase (see Chapter 10) and the receptor for vitamin D3 (VDR, see Chapter 4).

The ANP leceptoi exists in two forms, ANP and ANPg, both of which have been cloned. These membrane-bound guanylate cyclases have a single transmembrane domain, an intracellular protein kinase-like domain, and a catalytic cyclase domain, activation of which results in the accumulation of cychc guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). A third receptor subtype (ANP ) has been identified that does not have intrinsic guanylate cyclase activity and may play a role in the clearance of ANP.

Functionally, the Dl-like receptors (Dl, D5) are coupled to the G protein Gas and thus can stimulate adenylyl cyclase. The D2-like receptors (D2, D3, and D4) couple to pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins (Gai/0), and consequently inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity. While the Dl-like receptors almost exclusively signal through Gas-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase, the D2-like receptors have been reported to modulate the activity of a plethora of signaling molecules and pathways. Many of these actions are mediated through the G(3y subunit. Some of these molecules and pathways include the calcium channels, potassium channels, sodium-hydrogen exchanger, arachidonic acid release, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.
