Glycopolymer probes of signal transduction.
Glycans are key participants in biological processes ranging from reproduction to cellular communication to infection. Revealing glycan roles and the underlying molecular mechanisms by which glycans manifest their function requires access to glycan derivatives that vary systematically. To this end, glycopolymers (polymers bearing pendant carbohydrates) have emerged as valuable glycan analogs. B...
متن کاملSynthetic multivalent ligands as probes of signal transduction.
Cell-surface receptors acquire information from the extracellular environment and coordinate intracellular responses. Many receptors do not operate as individual entities, but rather as part of dimeric or oligomeric complexes. Coupling the functions of multiple receptors may endow signaling pathways with the sensitivity and malleability required to govern cellular responses. Moreover, multirece...
متن کاملSignal transduction.
This issue of Breast Disease focuses on the subject of signal transduction and its role in the pathogenesis and progression of human breast cancer. Within the past 10 years, the explosion in our knowledge of these processes has significantly altered our understanding of breast cancer, and resulted in the first receptor-based therapies. This issue examines a variety of relevant signaling pathway...
متن کاملChemical probes of bacterial signal transduction reveal that repellents stabilize and attractants destabilize the chemoreceptor array.
The signal transduction cascade responsible for bacterial chemotaxis serves as a model for understanding how cells perceive and respond to their environments. Bacteria react to chemotactic signals by migrating toward attractants and away from repellents. Recent data suggest that the amplification of attractant stimuli depends on receptor collaboration: occupied and unoccupied chemoreceptors act...
متن کاملQuantitation of signal transduction.
Conventional qualitative approaches to signal transduction provide powerful ways to explore the architecture and function of signaling pathways. However, at the level of the complete system, they do not fully depict the interactions between signaling and metabolic pathways and fail to give a manageable overview of the complexity that is often a feature of cellular signal transduction. Here, we ...
