Molecular mechanisms of opioid receptor signal transduction.
The analgesic and antidiarrhoeal uses of opium were known to the Sumerians and predynastic Egyptians. During 5000 years of medicinal use, opium has become associated with countries, cultures and prominent individuals, and through several modifications, remains an extensively used analgesic and addictive drug. Morphine, the principle active compound in opium, was first isolated by the German che...
متن کاملStructural mechanism for signal transduction in RXR nuclear receptor heterodimers
A subset of nuclear receptors (NRs) function as obligate heterodimers with retinoid X receptor (RXR), allowing integration of ligand-dependent signals across the dimer interface via an unknown structural mechanism. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, x-ray crystallography and hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry, here we show an allosteric mechanism through which...
متن کاملMechanism of Interleukin 2-Induced Signal Transduction
Address for Correspondence : Hironobu Asao, Department of Immunology, Yamagata University School of Medicine, 2-2-2 Iida-Nishi, Yamagata 990-9585, Japan Extensive studies on the IL-2 and IL-2 receptor system have established fundamental principles of immune responses and signal transducing mechanisms of hematopoietic cell proliferation and survival. IL-2Rb and IL-2Rg chains are associated with ...
متن کاملThe mechanism of hedgehog signal transduction.
Hedgehog (Hh) proteins are one of a small number of families of secreted signalling proteins that are responsible for cell interactions during development in many animals. As such, Hh signals produce many different responses at different times and in different cells. As for other multifunctional ligands, this requires regulated patterns of expression, special mechanisms for ligand movement betw...
متن کاملThe mechanism of IL-5 signal transduction.
Cytokines are important regulators of hematopoiesis. They exert their actions by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface. Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a critical cytokine that regulates the growth, activation, and survival of eosinophils. Because eosinophils play a seminal role in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergic diseases, an understanding of the signal transduction mechanism of IL-...
