Mechanisms of Cellular Signal Transduction
Editorial Signal transduction is essential for almost all aspects of eukaryotic cell function and for the development of metazoans. In the classic case of signaling mediated by a growth factor, binding of the hormone to its receptor initiates a process that starts with the autoor cross-phosphorylation of the receptor. The activating signal is then propagated through intracellular signaling path...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms of olfactory signal transduction.
The sense of smell has the exquisite capacity to recognize and discriminate among an immense variety of volatile chemical compounds that are present in the environment. In mammals, olfactory cues are detected by sensory neurons belonging to three different sensory modalities harboured in the nasal cavity. Olfactory and vomeronasal primary sensory neurons (OSNs and VSNs, respectively) detect odo...
متن کاملMechanisms of inhibin signal transduction.
Inhibin was first identified as a gonadal hormone that potently inhibits pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis and secretion. Although the notion of a nonsteroidal, gonadally derived inhibitory substance was realized in the early 1930s (McCullagh, 1932), identification of the hormone was not accomplished until more than 50 years later. At that time, inhibin was purified from bo...
متن کاملAllosteric mechanisms of signal transduction.
Forty years ago, a simple model of allosteric mechanisms (indirect interactions between distinct sites), used initially to explain feedback-inhibited enzymes, was presented by Monod, Wyman, and Changeux. We review the MWC theory and its applications for the understanding of signal transduction in biology, and also identify remaining issues that deserve theoretical and experimental substantiation.
متن کاملHow receptors work: mechanisms of signal transduction.
In recent years major advances have been made regarding our understanding of the mechanisms underlying cell surface receptor activation. In particular, how information is transferred from these receptors to the interior of the cell. The aim of this article is to give a brief overview of the major signal transduction pathways employed by cells and to highlight where such information has allowed ...
