Signaling by Transmembrane Proteins Shifts Gears
نویسنده
چکیده
The HAMP domain is present in a large number of transmembrane proteins in prokaryotes including histidine kinases, adenylyl cyclases, chemotaxis receptors, and phosphatases. In this issue of Cell, Hulko et al. (2006) report the NMR structure of a HAMP domain and present data suggesting that it transduces signals through a simple rotation of its four-helix parallel coiled coil.

The roles of EPIYA sequence to perturb the cellular signaling pathways and cancer risk
Abstract It was shown that several pathogenic bacterial effector proteins contain the Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) or a similar sequence. These bacterial EPIYA effectors are delivered into host cell via type III or IV secretion system, where they undergo tyrosine phosphorylation at the EPIYA sequences, which triggers interaction with multiple host cell SH2 domain-containing proteins and thereby...
متن کاملInteraction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملTransmembrane adaptor proteins in membrane microdomains: important regulators of immunoreceptor signaling.
Membrane microdomains enriched in glycosphingolipids, cholesterol, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins and Src-family kinases (lipid rafts, GEMs) appear to play many important roles, especially in immunoreceptor signaling. Most transmembrane proteins are excluded from these specialized areas of membranes, notable exceptions being several palmitoylated proteins such as the T cell core...
متن کاملHypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal axis and stimulatory G proteins signaling role in nociceptive changes induced by forced swim stress
Introduction: Different mechanisms are involved in stress induced analgesia (SIA) and hyperalgesia (SIH). Repeated stress induces development of tolerance to SIA. The role of HPA axis and Gs signaling pathway in these effects are investigated in the current study. Methods: Forced swim stress (5 min/day) in water (20±1 ºC) was employed to adult male Wistar rats (200-250 g). The nociceptive t...
متن کاملBiochemical Aspects of Protein Changes in Seed Physiology and Germination
Seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. Reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. Here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...
