Signal Transduction: External Signals Influence Spore-Number Control
In budding yeast, the supply of external nutrients controls both sporulation and spore number. A new study has investigated how an external signal can be propagated internally to digitize an output of the number of spores formed.
متن کاملSignal transduction pathways leading to spore differentiation in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Cells that overexpress PKA as a consequence of carrying multiple copies of the gene encoding the catalytic subunit can be induced to sporulate when developing as single cells. A peptide phosphorylated by PKA, termed SDF-1, has recently been shown to stimulate this process (Anjard et al., 1997). Several genes have been implicated in a signal transduction pathway by which prestalk cells induce en...
متن کاملKeeping signals straight in phosphorelay signal transduction.
Bacteria are highly adaptable organisms capable of growth on countless carbon and nitrogen sources and of occupying an inexhaustible variety of ecological niches. Any particular bacterium possesses a subset of these capabilities that are encoded by a repertoire of genes normally kept unexpressed unless called upon. The key to adaptability in bacteria is their capacity to express only those gene...
متن کاملSecrecy of Signals by Typing in Signal Transduction
We discuss secrecy of signals in signal transduction. As we have developed a basic concurrent language with interferencial coefficients, Iπ-calculus, to describe aberrance in biological models, a typing system for Iπ-calculus is proposed for achieving secrecy of signals in signal transduction. We show that this typing system guarantees that, if signal transduction typechecks, then it does not l...
متن کاملBrassinosteroid signal transduction--choices of signals and receptors.
Small signaling molecules that mediate cell-cell communication are essential for developmental regulation in multicellular organisms. Among them are the steroids and peptide hormones that regulate growth in both plants and animals. In plants, brassinosteroids (BRs) are perceived by the cell surface receptor kinase BRI1, which is distinct from the animal steroid receptors. Identification of comp...
