MELANOCORTIN SYSTEM PATHWAY (PW:0000365)
Description
The melanocortin peptides - a collective term for the alpha-, beta- and gamma-melanocyte-stimulating hormones and the adenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) - are derived from the sequential processing of the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene product. They bind to specific G-protein coupled melanocortin receptors (Mcr) to elicit a range of responses that include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, regulation of energy homeostasis and feeding behavior and induction of melanogenesis. The five Mc receptors have rather distinct expression patterns. MC1R (human gene shown) is expressed in skin and also immune cells; in addition to its role in melanogenesis studies have shown that it may also function in inflammation and immunoregulation. Mc3r and 4, expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and the brain are known regulators of energy homeostasis. Mc3r, also expressed in other tissues and Mc5r in peripheral, play a role in inflammation and immunity. Mc2r is the only receptor that exclusively binds the ACTH peptide; the others appear to bind all POMC derived peptides but with distinct affinities. A distinguishing feature of the system is the presence of natural antagonists. Asip acts as an antagonist of MC1R while Agrp is an antagonist of Mc3r and Mc4r. As the exclusive ACTH binder, Mc2r is an important effector of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adenal (HPA) axis which responds to various stresses and whose end effect is the stimulation of glucocorticoid synthesis. Activation of HPA axis leads to release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamus. CRH signaling activates protein kinase A (PKA) pathway leading to expression of POMC gene and the release of ACTH. Melanocortin receptors couple to G alphas family of heterotrimeric G proteins that stimulates adenylyl cyclases; cAMP production activates PKA pathway. Mc2r requires an additional factor - Mrap, which assists in the trafficking of the receptor to the cell surface. Mrap binding the other receptors appears to have an inhibitory effect (not shown). A second Mrap-related human protein - MRAP2, appears to promote similar inhibitory effects on the receptors, except for Mc2r; its exact role in the function of Mc2r remains to be established. Other accessory proteins include Atrn and the Atrn-related, Atrnl. Atrn may act as a co-receptor for Asip while Atrnl is a binding partner for Mc4r. An intracellular protein that may also be involved in the inhibition of MC1R signaling (and possibly Mc4r) is Mgrn1. Some syndecans may act as co-receptors for Agrp (not shown). ACTH-mediated pathway is subject to inhibition by the negative feedback loop provided by the cortisol signaling pathway. The nuclear glucocorticoid receptor forms a complex with a mediator of POMC expression, the orphan nuclear receptor Nr4a1. The complex is stabilized by Smarca4 and recruits Hdac2 to silence gene expression.

Altered Pathway:
Additional Elements in Pathway: (includes Gene Groups, Small Molecules, Other Pathways..etc.)
Pathway corticotropin-releasing hormone signaling pathway Activation of HPA axis by various stresses leads to release of corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus and initiation of its signaling pathway which leads to activation of POMC gene expression Pathway G protein mediated signaling via Gaphas family Based on sequence similarity, the Galpha genes have been grouped into four classes. Effectors of activated Galphas are adenylyl cyclases that catalyze the formation of cAMP Small Molecule cAMP cAMP binding to the PKA complex leads to dissociation of the catalytic subunits Pathway cortisol biosynthetic pathway Cortisol, the main C21 glucocorticoid, is primarily synthesized in the cortex of the adrenal gland. Like all steroid hormones, glucocorticoids are derived from cholesterol; their biosynthesis is tightly regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. The chronic steroidogenic response involves the change in the expression of steroidogenic genes while the acute response involves the quick delivery of cholesterol to the site of the first enzymatic reaction Pathway protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway Protein kinase A (PKA) signaling is a widely used intracellular pathway and the major route for channeling the second messenger cAMP signal
