متن کاملGlobin-coupled sensors: a class of heme-containing sensors in Archaea and Bacteria.
The recently discovered prokaryotic signal transducer HemAT, which has been described in both Archaea and Bacteria, mediates aerotactic responses. The N-terminal regions of HemAT from the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum (HemAT-Hs) and from the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (HemAT-Bs) contain a myoglobin-like motif, display characteristic heme-protein absorption spectra, and bind ox...
متن کاملA common mechanism underlies vertebrate calcium signaling and Drosophila phototransduction.
Drosophila phototransduction is an important model system for studies of inositol lipid signaling. Light excitation in Drosophila photoreceptors depends on phospholipase C, because null mutants of this enzyme do not respond to light. Surprisingly, genetic elimination of the apparently single inositol trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) of Drosophila has no effect on phototransduction. This led to...
متن کاملActivation of G-protein-coupled receptors: a common molecular mechanism.
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of proteins that contain a seven transmembrane helical structural motif. They mediate responses to several ligands by binding and activating intracellular heterotrimeric G proteins. Since the cloning of the first GPCR, insights gained from structure-function studies, genetics and drug development have contributed to uncovering a common mech...
متن کاملImmediate and delayed actions share a common visuomotor transformation mechanism: a prism adaptation study.
It is a key assumption of the perception/action model that the dorsal stream relies on current visual input and does not store visual information over an extended period of time. Consequently, it is expected that action which is guided by memorized visual information, so-called delayed action, cannot use information from the dorsal stream but must rely instead on the ventral stream input. Howev...
