Signal transduction: Response regulators on and off
High resolution structures of the active phosphorylated forms of two-component response regulators have recently been reported. The results provide a basis for understanding how metabolic energy is coupled to signal transduction in cellular regulatory networks.
متن کاملMultiple type-B response regulators mediate cytokinin signal transduction in Arabidopsis.
Type-B Arabidopsis thaliana response regulators (ARRs) are transcription factors that function in the final step of two-component signaling systems. To characterize their role in plant growth and development, we isolated T-DNA insertions within six of the genes (ARR1, ARR2, ARR10, ARR11, ARR12, and ARR18) from the largest subfamily of type-B ARRs and also constructed various double and triple c...
متن کاملNeuropilins are positive regulators of Hedgehog signal transduction.
The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is essential for vertebrate embryogenesis, and excessive Hh target gene activation can cause cancer in humans. Here we show that Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) and Nrp2, transmembrane proteins with roles in axon guidance and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, are important positive regulators of Hh signal transduction. Nrps are expressed at times and locations o...
متن کاملSuppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS): negative regulators of signal transduction.
SOCS-1 was originally identified as an inhibitor of interleukin-6 signal transduction and is a member of a family of proteins (SOCS-1 to SOCS-7 and CIS) that contain an SH2 domain and a conserved carboxyl-terminal SOCS box motif. Mutation studies have established that critical contributions from both the amino-terminal and SH2 domains are essential for SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 to inhibit cytokine sign...
متن کاملMicroRNAs as regulators of signal transduction in urological tumors.
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that have been shown to play pivotal roles in carcinogenesis. In the past decade, miRNAs have been the focus of much research in oncology, and there are great expectations for their utility as cancer biomarkers and therapeutic targets. CONTENT In this review we examine how miRNAs can regulate signal transduction pathways in urological tum...
