Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) engage with their respective receptor tyrosine kinases, initiating a cascade of intracellular signals that drive cell growth and survival, potentially altering protein functions. PMA directly stimulates protein kinase C (PKC), which is implicated in the regulation of numerous cellular functions. Isoproterenol operates through the beta-adrenergic pathway to increase cAMP levels, which in turn can activate protein kinase A (PKA), influencing protein activity and signaling.
Dibutyryl-cAMP, a synthetic mimic of cAMP, bypasses upstream receptors to directly activate PKA, leading to changes in protein phosphorylation and activity. Sodium orthovanadate acts as a phosphatase inhibitor, maintaining phosphorylation states that are crucial for the activation of many signaling proteins. The MAPK pathway, modulated by SB203580 and PD98059 through the selective inhibition of p38 MAPK and MEK, respectively, plays a critical role in cellular responses to external stress signals. LY294002, by inhibiting phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), disrupts the PI3K/AKT pathway, which is integral to cell growth and survival, while U0126 selectively blocks MEK1/2, affecting the MAPK/ERK pathway and consequently protein activity. Rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), can cause profound changes in cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, and autophagy, processes that are central to the regulation of protein function.
