The mechanisms of brassinosteroids' action: from signal transduction to plant development.
Brassinosteroids play diverse roles in plant growth and development. Plants deficient in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis or defective in signal transduction show many abnormal developmental phenotypes, indicating the importance of both BR biosynthesis and the signaling pathway in regulating these biological processes. Recently, using genetics, proteomics, genomics, cell biology, and many othe...
متن کاملMechanisms of Cellular Signal Transduction
Editorial Signal transduction is essential for almost all aspects of eukaryotic cell function and for the development of metazoans. In the classic case of signaling mediated by a growth factor, binding of the hormone to its receptor initiates a process that starts with the autoor cross-phosphorylation of the receptor. The activating signal is then propagated through intracellular signaling path...
متن کاملMechanisms of inhibin signal transduction.
Inhibin was first identified as a gonadal hormone that potently inhibits pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis and secretion. Although the notion of a nonsteroidal, gonadally derived inhibitory substance was realized in the early 1930s (McCullagh, 1932), identification of the hormone was not accomplished until more than 50 years later. At that time, inhibin was purified from bo...
متن کاملAllosteric mechanisms of signal transduction.
Forty years ago, a simple model of allosteric mechanisms (indirect interactions between distinct sites), used initially to explain feedback-inhibited enzymes, was presented by Monod, Wyman, and Changeux. We review the MWC theory and its applications for the understanding of signal transduction in biology, and also identify remaining issues that deserve theoretical and experimental substantiation.
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Kinetic Analysis of Stochastic Signal Transduction Mediated by G-Protein Coupled Chemoattractant Receptors
Cellular chemotactic behaviors are typical examples of stochastic signal transduction in living cells that have been investigated in detail both experimentally and theoretically. In this chapter, we describe single-molecule kinetic analysis for stochastic signal transduction in chemotactic responses mediated by G proteincoupled chemoattractant receptors in order to give deeper understanding of ...
