Signal transduction: Gyrating protein kinases
Recently determined structures have linked histidine kinases with class II topoisomerases, the DNA repair enzyme MutL and the molecular chaperone Hsp90. This surprising finding may foreshadow a shift in our understanding of energy coupling mechanisms in signal transduction networks.
متن کاملSignal perception and transduction: the role of protein kinases.
Cells can react to environmental changes by transduction of extracellular signals, to produce intracellular responses. Membrane-impermeable signal molecules are recognized by receptors, which are localized on the plasma membrane of the cell. Binding of a ligand can result in the stimulation of an intrinsic enzymatic activity of its receptor or the modulation of a transducing protein. The modula...
متن کاملCa2+-dependent protein kinases and stress signal transduction in plants.
Stress responses in plants involve changes in the transcription of specific genes. The constitutively active mutants of two related Ca2+-dependent protein kinases (CDPK1 and CDPK1a) activate a stress-inducible promoter, bypassing stress signals. Six other plant protein kinases, including two distinct CDPKs, fail to mimic this stress signaling. The activation is abolished by a CDPK1 mutation in ...
متن کاملProtein Kinases and Protein Phosphatases as Participants in Signal Transduction of Erythrocytes
Signal transduction is defined as the transfer of a signal starting from a primary messenger with a ligand that binds to specific receptors on the cell membrane. The signal then reaches the effector molecule(s) through a cascade involving various protein kinases and/or protein phosphatases as well as other molecules such as adaptor proteins, anchoring proteins, amplifier proteins, etc. Although...
متن کاملSignal transduction through prion protein.
The cellular prion protein PrPc is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell-surface protein whose biological function is unclear. We used the murine 1C11 neuronal differentiation model to search for PrPc-dependent signal transduction through antibody-mediated cross-linking. A caveolin-1-dependent coupling of PrPc to the tyrosine kinase Fyn was observed. Clathrin might also contribute to thi...
