Ways and means for left shifts in the MaxiK channel.
How might a cell modulate the signals it receives from other cells and from the environment, so that it would not get too wound up or even signaled to death? It uses negative feedback regulation, as any sensible machinery would. Given that two very basic ways of signaling are to raise the free Ca21 concentration inside the cell ([Ca]i) and to alter the electrical potential across the cell membr...
متن کاملCell Signalling: IP3 Receptors Channel Calcium into Cell Death
There is substantial evidence that Ca2+ fluxes occur during most forms of apoptosis, and that inhibiting such fluxes protects cells from death. IP3 receptors--ligand-gated channels that release Ca2+ from intracellular stores--are emerging as key sites for regulation by pro- and anti-apoptotic factors.
متن کاملThe voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC): function in intracellular signalling, cell life and cell death.
Research over the last decade has extended the prevailing view of mitochondria to include functions well beyond the critical bioenergetics role in supplying ATP. It is now recognized that mitochondria play a crucial role in cell signaling events, inter-organelle communication, aging, many diseases, cell proliferation and cell death. Apoptotic signal transmission to the mitochondria results in t...
متن کاملMitochondria and cell signalling.
Mitochondria have long been considered as crucial organelles, primarily for their roles in biosynthetic reactions such as ATP synthesis. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that mitochondria are intimately involved in cell signalling pathways. Mitochondria perform various signalling functions, serving as platforms to initiate cell signalling, as well as acting as transducers and effec...
متن کاملSUMOylation and cell signalling.
SUMOylation is a highly transient post-translational protein modification. Attachment of SUMO to target proteins occurs via a number of specific activating and ligating enzymes that form the SUMO-substrate complex, and other SUMO-specific proteases that cleave the covalent bond, thus leaving both SUMO and target protein free for the next round of modification. SUMO modification has major effect...
