Mechanisms of Cellular Signal Transduction
Editorial Signal transduction is essential for almost all aspects of eukaryotic cell function and for the development of metazoans. In the classic case of signaling mediated by a growth factor, binding of the hormone to its receptor initiates a process that starts with the autoor cross-phosphorylation of the receptor. The activating signal is then propagated through intracellular signaling path...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms of olfactory signal transduction.
The sense of smell has the exquisite capacity to recognize and discriminate among an immense variety of volatile chemical compounds that are present in the environment. In mammals, olfactory cues are detected by sensory neurons belonging to three different sensory modalities harboured in the nasal cavity. Olfactory and vomeronasal primary sensory neurons (OSNs and VSNs, respectively) detect odo...
متن کاملDesign principles and control mechanisms of signal transduction networks
This work is based on the hypothesis that signal transduction networks in living cells are the result of an evolutionary development which is governed by mutation mechanisms and natural selection principles. This concerns their structural design as well as kinetic parameters. Therefore, it can be assumed that these properties have adopted values which imply certain optimal features with respect...
متن کاملIn search of cellular control: signal transduction in context.
The field of molecular cell biology has experienced enormous advances over the last century by reducing the complexity of living cells into simpler molecular components and binding interactions that are amenable to rigorous biochemical analysis. However, as our tools become more powerful, there is a tendency to define mechanisms by what we can measure. The field is currently dominated by effort...
متن کاملPhytochrome signal transduction pathways are regulated by reciprocal control mechanisms.
Three signal transduction pathways, dependent on cGMP and/or calcium, are utilized by phytochrome to control the expression of genes required for chloroplast development and anthocyanin biosynthesis in plant cells. For example, chs is controlled by a cGMP-dependent pathway, cab is controlled by a calcium-dependent pathway, and fnr is regulated by a pathway that requires both cGMP and calcium. U...
