Transmembrane signal transduction by cofactor transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synthetic transducers transport externally added metal ion cofactors across the lipid bilayer membrane of vesicles to trigger catalysis ester hydrolysis in inner compartment. Signal transduction activity is modulated by hydrazone formation.

STAC--A New Domain Associated with Transmembrane Solute Transport and Two-Component Signal Transduction Systems.
Transmembrane receptors are integral components of sensory pathways in prokaryotes. These receptors share a common dimeric architecture, consisting in its basic form of an N-terminal extracellular sensor, transmembrane helices, and an intracellular effector. As an exception, we have identified an archaeal receptor family--exemplified by Af1503 from Archaeoglobus fulgidus--that is C-terminally s...
متن کاملMolecular basis of transmembrane signal transduction in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Living cells are in a constant process of information exchange with their environment. The kind of information to which cells can respond is often chemical and largely determined by the assortment of receptors they possess on their surface. Occupation of cell surface receptors by a specific ligand (or excitation by light, in the case of photoreceptors) triggers a sequence of reactions between p...
متن کاملTransmembrane signal transduction by peptide hormones via family B G protein-coupled receptors
Although family B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contain only 15 members, they play key roles in transmembrane signal transduction of hormones. Family B GPCRs are drug targets for developing therapeutics for diseases ranging from metabolic to neurological disorders. Despite their importance, the molecular mechanism of activation of family B GPCRs remains largely unexplored due to the chall...
متن کاملTransmembrane Signaling: An Model for Signal Transduction Ion-flux-independent by Complexed Fc Receptors
Fluxes of Na+/K + that precede effector functions in stimulated phagocytes are thought to play a role in signal transduction. To examine this hypothesis, phagocytosis, phagosomal acidification, and superoxide anion generation (02-) were stimulated in media in which the Na + was replaced with K + or choline +. Counts of particles internalized and assessment of acidification of the phagosomes by ...

To examine this hypothesis, phagocytosis, phagosomal acidification, and superoxide anion generation (O2-) were stimulated in media in which the Na+ was replaced with K+ or choline+.
