Cyclic AMP signalling pathways in the regulation of uterine relaxation
Studying the mechanism(s) of uterine relaxation is important and will be helpful in the prevention of obstetric difficulties such as preterm labour, which remains a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Multiple signalling pathways regulate the balance between maintaining relative uterine quiescence during gestation, and the transition to the contractile state at the onset of partur...
متن کاملCyclic AMP signalling.
Cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) was the first identified second messenger. A large number of studies during the past 30 years have elucidated the fundamental role of cAMP in the cellular response to many hormones and neurotransmitters. Although the main components in the cAMP-mediated signalling pathway are well known, recently new important players have been identified, which have ...
متن کاملMitogenic signalling in murine 3T3 cells: the cyclic AMP pathway.
Treatment of isolated hepatocyte plasma membranes with cholera toxin caused the ADP-ribosylation of a variety of proteins, including a-G, [ 1x1. The ribosylation o f one of these, a 25 kDa protein is attenuated by the addition of insulin [ 181. This led us to suggest that a cholera toxin-sensitive G-protein may be involved in mediating certain of insulin's actions. In support of this, we have s...
متن کاملCyclic AMP signalling in Dictyostelium: G-proteins activate separate Ras pathways using specific RasGEFs.
In general, mammalian Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RasGEFs) show little substrate specificity, although they are often thought to regulate specific pathways. Here, we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence that two RasGEFs can each act on specific Ras proteins. During Dictyostelium development, RasC and RasG are activated in response to cyclic AMP, with each regulating different down...
متن کاملTranscription profiling of cyclic AMP signalling in Candida albicans
We used transcription profiling in Candida albicans to investigate cellular regulation involving cAMP. We found that many genes require the adenylyl cyclase Cdc35p for proper expression. These include genes encoding ribosomal subunit proteins and RNA polymerase subunit proteins, suggesting that growth could be controlled in part by cAMP mediated modulation of gene expression. Other genes influe...
