Chapter 11~ Cell Communication

Signal-transduction pathway b Def: Signal on a cell’s surface is converted into a specific cellular response b Local signaling (short distance): √ Paracrine (growth factors) √ Synaptic (neurotransmitters) b Long distance: hormones

Stages of cell signaling b Sutherland (‘71) b Glycogen depolymerization by epinephrine b 3 steps: Reception: target cell detection Transduction: single-step or series of changes Response: triggering of a specific cellular response

Signal molecules and Receptor Proteins b A cell targeted by a particular chemical signal has a receptor protein that recognizes the signal molecule. Recognition occurs when the signal binds to a specific site on the receptor because it is complementary in shape.Recognition occurs when the signal binds to a specific site on the receptor because it is complementary in shape. b When ligands (small molecules that bind specifically to a larger molecule) attach to the receptor protein, the receptor typically undergoes a change in shape. This may activate the receptor so that it can interact with other molecules.This may activate the receptor so that it can interact with other molecules. For other receptors this leads to the collection of receptors.For other receptors this leads to the collection of receptors.

G-Protein-Linked Receptor b A G-protein-linked receptor consists of a receptor protein associated with a G-protein on the cytoplasmic side. The receptor consists of seven alpha helices spanning the membrane.The receptor consists of seven alpha helices spanning the membrane. Effective signal molecules include yeast mating factors, epinephrine, other hormones, and neurotransmitters.Effective signal molecules include yeast mating factors, epinephrine, other hormones, and neurotransmitters.

b The G protein acts as an on-off switch. If GDP is bound, the G protein is inactive.If GDP is bound, the G protein is inactive. If GTP is bound, the G protein is active.If GTP is bound, the G protein is active.

b The G-protein system cycles between on and off. When a G-protein-linked receptor is activated by binding with an extracellular signal molecule, the receptor binds to an inactive G protein in membrane.When a G-protein-linked receptor is activated by binding with an extracellular signal molecule, the receptor binds to an inactive G protein in membrane. This leads the G protein to substitute GTP for GDP.This leads the G protein to substitute GTP for GDP. The G protein then binds with another membrane protein, often an enzyme, altering its activity and leading to a cellular response.The G protein then binds with another membrane protein, often an enzyme, altering its activity and leading to a cellular response.

Tyrosine-kinase Receptors b Tyrosine-kinase receptor is effective when the cell needs to regulate and coordinate a variety of activities and trigger several signal pathways at once. b A tyrosine-kinase is an enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from ATP to the amino acid tyrosine on a protein.

b Individual tyrosine-kinase receptors consists of several parts: an extracellular signal-binding sites,an extracellular signal-binding sites, a single alpha helix spanning the membrane, anda single alpha helix spanning the membrane, and an intracellular tail with several tyrosines.an intracellular tail with several tyrosines.

b When ligands bind to two receptors polypeptides, the polypeptides bind, forming a dimer. b This activates the tyrosine-kinase section of both. b These add phosphates to the tyrosine tails of the other polypeptide.

b The fully-activated receptor proteins initiate a variety of specific relay proteins that bind to specific phosphorylated tyrosine molecules. One tyrosine-kinase receptor dimer may activate ten or more different intracellular proteins simultaneously.One tyrosine-kinase receptor dimer may activate ten or more different intracellular proteins simultaneously. b These activated relay proteins trigger many different transduction pathways and responses.

Ligand-gated Ion Channels b Ligand-gated ion channels are protein pores that open or close in response to a chemical signal. This allows or blocks ion flow, such as Na+ or Ca2+.This allows or blocks ion flow, such as Na+ or Ca2+. Binding by a ligand to the extracellular side changes the protein’s shape and opens the channel.Binding by a ligand to the extracellular side changes the protein’s shape and opens the channel. Ion flow changes the concentration inside the cell.Ion flow changes the concentration inside the cell. When the ligand dissociates, the channel closes.When the ligand dissociates, the channel closes.

The Others… b Other signal receptors are dissolved in the cytosol or nucleus of target cells. b The signals pass through the plasma membrane. b These chemical messengers include the hydrophobic steroid and thyroid hormones of animals. b Also in this group is nitric oxide (NO), a gas whose small size allows it to slide between membrane phospholipids.

Testosterone b Testosterone, like other hormones, travels through the blood and enters cells throughout the body. b In the cytosol, they bind and activate receptor proteins. b These activated proteins enter the nucleus and turn on genes that control male sex characteristics.

Turning Genes On b These activated proteins act as transcription factors. Transcription factors control which genes are turned on - that is, which genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA).Transcription factors control which genes are turned on - that is, which genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). –The mRNA molecules leave the nucleus and carry information that directs the synthesis (translation) of specific proteins at the ribosome.

Transduction b The transduction stage of signaling is usually a multistep pathway. b These pathways often greatly amplify the signal. If some molecules in a pathway transmit a signal to multiple molecules of the next component, the result can be large numbers of activated molecules at the end of the pathway.If some molecules in a pathway transmit a signal to multiple molecules of the next component, the result can be large numbers of activated molecules at the end of the pathway. b A small number of signal molecules can produce a large cellular response. b Also, multistep pathways provide more opportunities for coordination and regulation than do simpler systems.

Signal Transduction Pathways b Signal transduction pathways act like falling dominoes. The signal-activated receptor activates another protein, which activates another and so on, until the protein that produces the final cellular response is activated.The signal-activated receptor activates another protein, which activates another and so on, until the protein that produces the final cellular response is activated. b The original signal molecule is not passed along the pathway, it may not even enter the cell. Its information is passed on.Its information is passed on. At each step the signal is transduced into a different form, often by a conformational change in a protein.At each step the signal is transduced into a different form, often by a conformational change in a protein.

Phosphorylation (adding on Phosphates) b The phosphorylation of proteins by a specific enzyme (a protein kinase) is a mechanism for regulating protein activity. Most protein kinases act on other substrate proteins, unlike the tyrosine kinases that act on themselves.Most protein kinases act on other substrate proteins, unlike the tyrosine kinases that act on themselves. b Most phosphorylation occurs at either serine or threonine amino acids in the substrate protein. b Many of the relay molecules in a signal-transduction pathway are protein kinases that lead to a “phosphorylation cascade”. b Each protein phosphorylation leads to a shape change because of the interaction between the phosphate group and charged or polar amino acids.

Protein phosphorylation b Protein activity regulation b Adding phosphate from ATP to a protein (activates proteins) b Enzyme: protein kinases (1% of all our genes) b Example: cell reproduction b Reversal enzyme: protein phosphatases

Second messengers b Non-protein signaling pathway ( b Example: cyclic AMP (cAMP) b Ex: Glycogen breakdown with epinephrine b Enzyme: adenylyl cyclase b G-protein-linked receptor in membrane (guanosine di- or tri- phosphate)

Pathway involving cAMP as a secondary messenger. Pathway using Ca2+ as a secondary messenger.

Scaffolding b Rather than relying on diffusion of large relay molecules like proteins, many signal pathways are linked together physically by scaffolding proteins. Scaffolding proteins may themselves be relay proteins to which several other relay proteins attach.Scaffolding proteins may themselves be relay proteins to which several other relay proteins attach. This hardwiring enhances the speed and accuracy of signal transfer between cells.This hardwiring enhances the speed and accuracy of signal transfer between cells.
