Molecular basis of transmembrane signal transduction in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Living cells are in a constant process of information exchange with their environment. The kind of information to which cells can respond is often chemical and largely determined by the assortment of receptors they possess on their surface. Occupation of cell surface receptors by a specific ligand (or excitation by light, in the case of photoreceptors) triggers a sequence of reactions between p...
متن کاملRedox implications of AMPK-mediated signal transduction beyond energetic clues.
Since the discovery of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK), its fundamental role in regulating metabolic pathways and the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of its activity by adenine nucleotides has been widely studied. AMPK is not only an energy-responsive enzyme, but it also senses redox signals. This review aims at recapitulating the recent lines of evidence that demonstrate the ...
متن کاملSecond-Chance Signal Transduction Explains Cooperative Flagellar Switching
The reversal of flagellar motion (switching) results from the interaction between a switch complex of the flagellar rotor and a torque-generating stationary unit, or stator (motor unit). To explain the steeply cooperative ligand-induced switching, present models propose allosteric interactions between subunits of the rotor, but do not address the possibility of a reaction that stimulates a bidi...
متن کاملAn essential two-component signal transduction system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The bacterial two-component signal transduction systems regulate adaptation processes and are likely to play a role in Mycobacterium tuberculosis physiology and pathogenesis. The previous initial characterization of an M. tuberculosis response regulator from one of these systems, mtrA-mtrB, suggested its transcriptional activation during infection of phagocytic cells. In this work, we further c...
متن کاملTransmembrane Signaling: An Model for Signal Transduction Ion-flux-independent by Complexed Fc Receptors
Fluxes of Na+/K + that precede effector functions in stimulated phagocytes are thought to play a role in signal transduction. To examine this hypothesis, phagocytosis, phagosomal acidification, and superoxide anion generation (02-) were stimulated in media in which the Na + was replaced with K + or choline +. Counts of particles internalized and assessment of acidification of the phagosomes by ...
