Cellular Signaling
- 2. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Cellular Messaging
a) Cells can signal to each other and interpret the
signals they receive from other cells and the
environment
b) Signals are most often chemicals
c) The same small set of cell signaling mechanisms
shows up in diverse species and processes
- 4. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Concept 9.1: External signals are converted to
responses within the cell
a) Communication among microorganisms provides
some insight into how cells send, receive, and
respond to signals
- 5. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Local and Long-Distance Signaling
a) Cells in a multicellular organism communicate via
signaling molecules
b) In local signaling, animal cells may communicate by
direct contact
c) Animal and plant cells have cell junctions that directly
connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells
d) Signaling substances in the cytosol can pass freely
between adjacent cells

a) In many other cases, animal cells communicate using
secreted messenger molecules that travel only short
distances
b) Growth factors, which stimulate nearby target cells to
grow and divide, are one class of such local
regulators in animals
c) This type of local signaling in animals is called
paracrine signaling
- 8. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) Synaptic signaling occurs in the animal nervous
system when a neurotransmitter is released in
response to an electric signal
b) Local signaling in plants is not well understood
beyond communication between plasmodesmata
- 9. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) In long-distance signaling, plants and animals use
chemicals called hormones
b) Hormonal signaling in animals is called endocrine
signaling; specialized cells release hormones, which
travel to target cells via the circulatory system
c) The ability of a cell to respond to a signal depends on
whether or not it has a receptor specific to that signal

The Three Stages of Cell Signaling:
A Preview
a) Earl W. Sutherland discovered how the hormone
epinephrine acts on cells
b) Sutherland suggested that cells receiving signals
went through three processes
a)Reception
b)Transduction
c)Response
- 15. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) In reception, the target cell detects a signaling
molecule that binds to a receptor protein on the cell
surface
b) In transduction, the binding of the signaling molecule
alters the receptor and initiates a signal
transduction pathway; transduction often occurs in
a series of steps
c) In response, the transduced signal triggers a specific
response in the target cell

Concept 9.2: Reception: A signaling molecule binds to
a receptor protein, causing it to change shape
a) The binding between a signal molecule (ligand) and
receptor is highly specific
b) A shape change in a receptor is often the initial
transduction of the signal
c) Most signal receptors are plasma membrane proteins
- 21. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Receptors in the Plasma Membrane
a) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest
family of cell-surface receptors
b) Most water-soluble signal molecules bind to specific
sites on receptor proteins that span the plasma
membrane

- 24. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell
surface transmembrane receptors that work with the
help of a G protein
b) G proteins bind the energy-rich GTP
c) G proteins are all very similar in structure
d) GPCR systems are extremely widespread and
diverse in their functions
- 25. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are membrane
receptors that attach phosphates to tyrosines
b) A receptor tyrosine kinase can trigger multiple signal
transduction pathways at once
c) Abnormal functioning of RTKs is associated with
many types of cancers
- 26. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) A ligand-gated ion channel receptor acts as a gate
when the receptor changes shape
b) When a signal molecule binds as a ligand to the
receptor, the gate allows specific ions, such as Na+ or
Ca2
+, through a channel in the receptor

interactions relay signals from receptors to target
molecules in the cell
a) Signal transduction usually involves multiple steps
b) Multistep pathways can greatly amplify a signal
c) Multistep pathways provide more opportunities for
coordination and regulation of the cellular response
Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
- 44. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Signal Transduction Pathways
a) The binding of a signaling molecule to a receptor
triggers the first step in a chain of molecular
interactions
b) Like falling dominoes, the receptor activates another
protein, which activates another, and so on, until the
protein producing the response is activated
c) At each step, the signal is transduced into a different
form, usually a shape change in a protein
- 45. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Protein Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation
a) Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins is
a widespread cellular mechanism for regulating
protein activity
b)Protein kinases transfer phosphates from ATP to
protein, a process called phosphorylation
c) Many relay molecules in signal transduction pathways
are protein kinases, creating a phosphorylation
cascade

a) Protein phosphatases rapidly remove the
phosphates from proteins, a process called
dephosphorylation
b) This phosphorylation and dephosphorylation system
acts as a molecular switch, turning activities on and
off or up or down, as required
- 51. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Small Molecules and Ions as Second Messengers
a) Many signaling pathways involve second messengers
b)Second messengers are small, nonprotein, water-
soluble molecules or ions that spread throughout a
cell by diffusion
c) Second messengers participate in pathways initiated
by GPCRs and RTKs
d) Cyclic AMP and calcium ions are common second
messengers
- 52. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Cyclic AMP
a) Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is one of the most widely used
second messengers
b)Adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme in the plasma
membrane, converts ATP to cAMP in response to an
extracellular signal

a) Understanding of the role of cAMP in G protein
signaling pathways helps explain how certain
microbes cause disease
b) The cholera bacterium, Vibrio cholerae, produces a
toxin that modifies a G protein so that it is stuck in its
active form
c) This modified G protein continually makes cAMP,
causing intestinal cells to secrete large amounts of salt
into the intestines
d) Water follows by osmosis and an untreated person
can soon die from loss of water and salt
- 59. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Calcium Ions and Inositol Triphosphate (IP3)
a) Calcium ions (Ca2
+) act as a second messenger in
many pathways
b) Ca2
+ can function as a second messenger because
its concentration in the cytosol is normally much lower
than the concentration outside the cell
c) A small change in number of calcium ions thus
represents a relatively large percentage change in
calcium concentration

Signaling Efficiency: Scaffolding Proteins and Signaling
Complexes
a) Scaffolding proteins are large relay proteins to
which other relay proteins are attached
b) Scaffolding proteins can increase the signal
transduction efficiency by grouping together different
proteins involved in the same pathway
c) In some cases, scaffolding proteins may also help
activate some of the relay proteins

Termination of the Signal
a) Inactivation mechanisms are an essential aspect of
cell signaling
b) If ligand concentration falls, fewer receptors will be
bound
c) Unbound receptors revert to an inactive state
- 86. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Concept 9.5: Apoptosis integrates multiple
cell-signaling pathways
a) Cells that are infected or damaged or have reached
the end of their functional lives often undergo
āprogrammed cell deathā
b)Apoptosis is the best understood type
c) Components of the cell are chopped up and
packaged into vesicles that are digested by
scavenger cells
d) Apoptosis prevents enzymes from leaking out of a
dying cell and damaging neighboring cells
- 88. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
Apoptosis in the Soil Worm Caenorhabditis elegans
a) In worms and other organisms, apoptosis is triggered
by signals that activate a cascade of āsuicideā
proteins in the cells programmed to die
b) When the death signal is received, an apoptosis
inhibiting protein (Ced-9) is inactivated, triggering a
cascade of caspase proteins that promote apoptosis
c) The chief caspase in the nematode is called Ced-3

Apoptotic Pathways and the Signals That Trigger Them
a) In humans and other mammals, several different
pathways, including about 15 caspases, can carry out
apoptosis
b) Apoptosis can be triggered by signals from outside
the cell or inside it
c) Internal signals can result from irreparable DNA
damage or excessive protein misfolding
- 93. Ā© 2015 Pearson Education Ltd
a) Apoptosis evolved early in animal evolution and is
essential for the development and maintenance of all
animals
