Diffusion control of protein phosphorylation in signal transduction pathways.
Multiple signalling proteins are phosphorylated and dephosphorylated at separate cellular locations, which potentially causes spatial gradients of phospho-proteins within the cell. We have derived relationships that enable us to estimate the extent to which a protein kinase, a phosphatase and the diffusion of signalling proteins control the protein phosphorylation flux and the phospho-protein g...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways in Growth Control and Oncogenesis.
Normal cells have a series of molecular controls that prevents them from proliferating in the absence of essential environmental cues. These environmental cues include the presence of mitogenic growth factors and a suitable extracellular matrix (ECM). Cancer cells have lost these controls and thus can divide in the absence of these extracellular signals. We and others have examined how mitogeni...
متن کاملEngineering Signal Transduction Pathways
Cells respond to their environment by sensing signals and translating them into changes in gene expression. In recent years, synthetic networks have been designed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems to create new functionalities and for specific applications. In this review, we discuss the challenges associated with engineering signal transduction pathways. Furthermore, we address advant...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways for Leptin
Leptin is a critical regulator of energy balance in mammals and has served as a launch point for innumerable studies examining the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure (1). At high physiological concentrations, leptin causes a decrease in food intake, an increase in energy expenditure, and a shift to increased fatty acid oxidation. These physiological shifts lead to a decrease in bo...
متن کاملSimulation of signal transduction pathways
Signal transduction is about how molecular mechanisms in cells are used to receive, process and respond to signals from outside and inside of the cell. The term signal is defined in a dual way in this context: being the molecular state of a molecule, e.g. a protein, and at the same time an abstract logical state (active/inactive). This thesis focuses on intracellular signalling: i.e. receiving ...
