Cytokine receptors and signal transduction.
Most of the recently cloned cytokine receptors that operate in the immune and hematopoietic systems contain no tyrosine kinase domains in their cytoplasmic regions, unlike the family of growth factor receptors defined earlier. However, they can be assigned to several new types of receptor families based on structural similarities among them. It is characteristic of these receptors that many of ...
متن کاملM1 muscarinic receptors inhibit L-type Ca2+ current and M-current by divergent signal transduction cascades.
Ion channels reside in a sea of phospholipids. During normal fluctuations in membrane potential and periods of modulation, lipids that directly associate with channel proteins influence gating by incompletely understood mechanisms. In one model, M(1)-muscarinic receptors (M(1)Rs) may inhibit both Ca(2+) (L- and N-) and K(+) (M-) currents by losing a putative interaction between channels and pho...
متن کاملAltered extracellular signal-regulated kinase signal transduction by the muscarinic acetylcholine and metabotropic glutamate receptors after cerebral ischemia.
To determine whether muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in the post-ischemic hippocampus may be involved in altered extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) signal transduction, we have investigated changes in the activity of ERK1/2 induced by a muscarinic agonist, carbachol. Cerebral ischemia was produced in the rat by injecting 900 microspheres (48 microm in diameter) into the rig...
متن کاملProstanoids and prostanoid receptors in signal transduction.
Prostanoids are arachidonic acid metabolites and are generally accepted to play pivotal functions in amongst others inflammation, platelet aggregation, and vasoconstriction/relaxation. Inhibition of their production with, for instance, aspirin has been used for over a century to combat a large variety of pathophysiological processes, with great clinical success. Hence, the cellular changes indu...
متن کاملBlue light receptors and signal transduction.
A plant blue light response was documented as early as 1881 by Darwin when he discovered what is now known as the blue light–induced phototropic response (Darwin, 1881). However, blue light receptors mediating phototropism and other photoresponses in plants have remained elusive until recently. On the basis of molecular genetic studies in Arabidopsis, it is clear now that there are two types of...
