Lymphocyte signalling: A coordinating role for Vav?
Vav1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that selectively activates the Rac1 GTPase and is expressed specifically in haematopoietic cells. Recent work has revealed how Vav1 integrates signals from lymphocyte antigen receptors and costimulatory receptors to control immune function.
متن کاملCalcium signalling
Cellular signalling mechanisms are designed to transmit information from the cell surface membrane to specific targets within the cell. Often, the information is transmitted by means of intracellular messengers, of which the calcium ion, Ca2+, is one of the most important. Indeed, Ca2+ operates throughout the life history of a typical cell: it triggers new life at fertilisation, it controls man...
متن کاملCalcium Signalling: Calcium Goes Global
Recent evidence suggests that multiple calcium-releasing messengers might be activated simultaneously to regulate patterns of intracellular calcium signalling. In this way, agonists might use different messenger cocktails to encode specific signals and target selected processes.
متن کاملCalcium signalling in pericytes.
Recent advances in pericyte research have contributed to our understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of microvessels. The microvasculature consists of arteriolar and venular networks located upstream and downstream of the capillaries. Arterioles are surrounded by a monolayer of spindle-shaped myocytes, while terminal branches of precapillary arterioles, capillaries and all sections ...
متن کاملCalcium signalling in bacteria.
In eukaryotic cells, variations in the levels of cytosolic free calcium regulate processes as important and disparate as chemotaxis, chromosome segregation, fertilization, ion transport, muscle contraction, passage through cell cycle transition points, proteolysis, secretion, and substrate uptake (7). Cytosolic free calcium concentration is tightly controlled by the action of specific pumps and...
