Noisy signal amplification in ultrasensitive signal transduction.
Because intracellular processes are inherently noisy, stochastic reactions process noisy signals in cellular signal transduction. One essential feature of biological signal transduction systems is the amplification of small changes in input signals. However, small random changes in the input signals could also be amplified, and the transduction reaction can also generate noise. Here, we show th...
متن کاملPhytochrome-mediated photoperception and signal transduction in higher plants.
Light provides a major source of information from the environment during plant growth and development. Light perception is mediated through the action of several photoreceptors, including the phytochromes. Recent results demonstrate that light responses involve the regulation of several thousand genes. Some of the key events controlling this gene expression are the translocation of the phytochr...
متن کاملFunctional Characterization of PIF3 in Phytochrome-Mediated Light Signal Transduction
Phytochromes regulate various light responses through their interactions with different signaling proteins, such as PIF3. However, the physiological functions of PIF3 in light signaling are not yet fully understood. To increase our understanding of these roles, we characterized a T-DNA insertional pif3 mutant and transgenic plants overexpressing the full-length PIF3 . Transgenic overexpressing ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of phytochrome signal transduction in higher plants.
Phytochromes in higher plants play a great role in development, responses to environmental stresses and signal transduction, which are the fundamental principles for higher plants to be adapted to changing environment. Deep and systematic understanding of the phytochrome in higher plants is of crucial importance to molecular biology, purposeful improvement of environment in practice, especially...
متن کاملTwo GRAS proteins, SCARECROW-LIKE21 and PHYTOCHROME A SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION1, function cooperatively in phytochrome A signal transduction.
Photoreceptors, especially the far-red light-absorbing phytochrome A, play a crucial role in early seedling development, triggering the transition from etiolated to photomorphogenic growth. Here, we describe the biological functions of two GRAS proteins from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), SCARECROW-LIKE21 (SCL21) and PHYTOCHROME A SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION1 (PAT1), which are specifically involve...
