Regulation of alternative splicing by signal transduction pathways.
Alternative splicing is now recognized as a ubiquitous mechanism for controlling gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. A growing body of work from the past few years as begun to also highlight the existence of networks of signal-responsive alternative splicing in a variety of cell types. While the mechanisms by which signal transduction pathways influence the splicing machinery are relat...
متن کاملRegulation of signal transduction pathways in development by glycosylation.
Recent studies from several laboratories have provided evidence that cell surface complex carbohydrates play key roles in the regulation of developmentally relevant signal transduction events. The demonstration that Fringe, a known modifier of Notch function, is a fucose-specific N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase provided strong evidence that the Notch signaling pathway could be regulated by alte...
متن کاملNoisy signal amplification in ultrasensitive signal transduction.
Because intracellular processes are inherently noisy, stochastic reactions process noisy signals in cellular signal transduction. One essential feature of biological signal transduction systems is the amplification of small changes in input signals. However, small random changes in the input signals could also be amplified, and the transduction reaction can also generate noise. Here, we show th...
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 کاملRegulation of Signal Transduction by Glutathione Transferases
Glutathione transferases (GST) are essentially known as enzymes that catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to various electrophilic compounds such as chemical carcinogens, environmental pollutants, and antitumor agents. However, this protein family is also involved in the metabolism of endogenous compounds which play critical roles in the regulation of signaling pathways. For example, the lip...
