Cell signaling
• Unicellular organisms: quorum sensing
• Increase in concentration as population density increases
• Bacteria
• Chemical signals secreted from neighbors
• Coordination of behaviors
• Motility, antibiotic production, spore formation, sexual
conjugation
• Multicellular organisms: elaborate signaling systems
• Human genome: over 1500 genes that encode receptor proteins
• RNA splicing and post-transcriptional modifications
• Small protein family groups
• Extracellular signal
molecules
• long distance
• Immediate proximity
• Intracellular signaling
pathways
• Receptor proteins
• Effector proteins
• Metabolic enzyme
• Alter metabolism
• Gene regulatory
proteins
• Alter gene
expression
• DNA synthesis
• Cytoskeletal proteins
• Alter cell shape or
movement
• Contact-dependent signaling – direct
membrane to membrane contact
• Signal molecules
• Bound to the surface of the signaling cell
• Influence cells that come in contact
• Paracrine signaling
• Long ranged
• Short ranged
• Act as local mediator
• Autocrine signaling
• Cancer cells
• Self-signaling
• Survival
• Proliferation

Signaling Modes
Signaling Modes
• Synaptic signaling - long-range
• Neurons – neurotransmitters
• Axons - electrical impulses, chemical synapses
• Endocrine signaling – long range
• Hormones
Signaling Modes
• Gap junctions
• Allow neighboring cells to share information
• Water-filled channels
• Exchange of inorganic ions and small water-soluble
molecules
• Bypass the plasma membranes
• Information passing in both directions
Time
Response Variance
• Each cell is programmed to respond to specific combinations
of extracellular signal molecules
• Survive
• Grow and divide
• Differentiate
• Die
• Same signal molecules can activate different responses in
different types of cells
• Heart muscle cell – decrease rate and force of contraction
• Salivary gland cell - secretion
Receptor Proteins
• Signaling cells
• Signal molecules
• Released into extracellular space
via exocytosis
• Hydrophobic
• Proteins
• Small peptides
• Amino acids
• Nucleotides
• Steroids
• Retinoids
• Fatty acid derivatives
• Dissolved gases
• Nitric oxide
• Carbon monoxide
• Target cells
• Receptor
• Binds the signal molecules
• Initiates response
• Generate intracellular
signals
Three Families of Cell-Surface Receptors
• Ion-channel-coupled receptors – rapid synaptic signaling
• Trasmitter-gated ion channels
• Open or close briefly in response to the binding of a
neutrotransmitter
• G-protein-coupled receptors
• Indirectly activiate/deactivate plasma-membrane-bound enzymes
or ion channels
• Enzyme-coupled receptors
• Enzymes or protein kinases that phosphorylate the receptors and
proteins within the target cell
• Receptors involved in proteolysis
• Tissue renewal and repair
Ion-channel-coupled receptors
G-protein-coupled receptors
Enzyme-coupled receptors
Intracellular Signaling Proteins As
Molecular Switches
• Phosphorylation
• Protein kinases
• Add or remove a phosphate group

• GTP-binding proteins or G-proteins
• GTP – on
• GDP - off
Intracellular Mechanisms
• Feedback loops
• Positive feedback loops
• Depend on the strength of the feedback
• Moderate: increase the response to the signal
• Strong: increase in the quantity of product
• Have lasting effect
• Delay negative feedback loops
• Counter the effect of a stimulus
• Produce responses that oscillate depending on the
environment
• Allow cells to adapt
Feedback Loop – An Example

http://ajpcell.physiology.org/content/282/3/C545
Cell Sensitization To Signals
• Cells can be desensitized to a prolonged exposure to
a stimulus
• While a stimulus persist, a sudden increase can
stimulate the signal again.

Notas do Editor

  1. -Allow for coordination of behavior, motility, antibiotic production, spore formation and sexual conjugation-The number of different receptor proteins is further increased by alternative RNA splicing and post-translational modifications. -All of the proteins can be divided into small family groups with the few exceptions that do not belong in any of these 3 protein classes.
  2. The signal molecule usually binds to a receptor protein that is embedded in the plasma membrane of the target cell and activates one or more intracellular signaling pathways The intracellular signaling proteins alter the activity of effector proteins and thereby the behavior of the cell.
  3. -For paracrine signals to act only locally, the secreted molecules must not be allowed to diffuse too far; for this reason they are often rapidly taken up by neighboring target cells, destroyed by extracellular enzymes, or immobilized by the extracellular matrix.
  4. (C) Synaptic signaling is performed by neurons that transmit signals electrically along their axons and release neurotransmitters at synapses, which are often located far away from the neuronal cell body-. (D) Endocrine signaling depends on endocrine cells, which secrete hormones into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body. Many of the same types of signaling molecules are used in paracrine, synaptic, and endocrine signaling; the crucial differences lie in the speed and selectivity IN which the signals are delivered to their targets.
  5. The speed of a response to an extracellular signal depends not only on the mechanism of signal delivery but also on the nature of the target cell’s response. When the response requires only changes in proteins already present in the cell such as responses that depend solely on protein phosphorylation can occur within seconds. -When the response involves changes in gene expression and the synthesis of new proteins, however, it usually requires many minutes or hours, regardless of the mode of signal delivery
  6. -the receptor proteins are inside the target cell, and the signal molecule has to enter the cell to bind to them: this requires that the signal molecule be sufficiently small and hydrophobic to diffuse across the target cell’s plasma membrane
  7. Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids.
  8. guanosine triphosphate
  9. -A positive feedback can have a lasting effect well beyond the lifetime of the signaling molecules
