The Elements of Signaling
• Signaling pathway is composed of
different elements:
• Signaling cell
• Signal
• Target cell
• Signal transduction: is the conversion of
one form of signal to another
• Cell signaling: is receiving and
transducing signals
Types of signaling
• The released signal may carry out its
effect on:
• Local cells (local signaling)
• Distant cells (long-distant signaling)
• In both animal and plant:
• Cell junctions
• Cell-cell recognition
• AKA Contact-dependent
Types of signaling
Local Signaling Long-distance Signaling
Stages of signaling
• There are 3 stage:
• Reception: Reception is the target
cell’s detection of a signaling molecule
coming from outside the cell.
• A chemical signal is “detected” when the
signaling molecule binds to a receptor
protein located at the cell’s surface
• Transduction: converts the signal to a
form that can bring about a specific
cellular response.
• Response: the transduced signal finally
triggers a specific cellular response.
Reception
Reception
• Main elements of this system are:
• Receptor protein molecule
• Ligand molecule
• Ligand binding generally causes a
receptor protein to undergo a
change in shape.
• 3 types of receptors are involved
in this stage:
• G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR)
• Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs)
• Ion channel receptors
Reception – G protein receptors
• A G protein-coupled receptor
(GPCR) is a cell-surface
transmembrane receptor that works
with the help of a G protein, a
protein that binds the energy-rich
molecule GTP.
Reception – G
protein receptors
Reception – RTKs
• Receptor tyrosine kinases
(RTKs) belong to a major class
of plasma membrane
receptors characterized by
having enzymatic activity.
Receptor Tyrosine
Kinases (RTKs)
Reception – Ion channel Receptors
• A ligand-gated ion channel is a type
of membrane channel receptor
containing a region that can act as a
“gate,” opening or closing the
channel when the receptor changes
shape.
• When a signaling molecule binds as
a ligand to the channel receptor, the
channel opens or closes, allowing or
blocking the flow of specific ions,
such as Na+ or Ca2+.
Ion Channel Receptor
Intracellular Receptor
Transduction
Transduction
• Signal transduction pathway is the
chain of molecular interactions that
leads to a particular response within
the cell.
• Like dominos, it resembles a series of
activations
• Transduction molecules:
• Proteins
• Phosphorylation/ Dephosphorylating
• Small Molecules and Second
Messengers
• Cyclic AMP (cAMP)
• Calcium ion and Inositol Triphosphate
(IP3)
Transduction Proteins
• Protein Phosphorylation and
Dephosphorylation
• Protein Kinase:
• An enzyme that transfers phosphate
groups from ATP to a protein
• Protein Phosphatase:
• An enzymes that can rapidly remove
phosphate groups from proteins
Signaling – Transduction Small Molecules
• Cyclic AMP
• The second messenger cyclic AMP
(cAMP) is made from ATP by
Adenylyl Cyclase
• This enzyme is embedded in the
plasma membrane.
• The phosphate group in cAMP is
attached to both the 5’ and the 3’
carbons; this cyclic arrangement is
the basis for the molecule’s name.
• Cyclic AMP is inactivated by
phosphodiesterase
• This enzyme converts it to AMP.
Signaling – Transduction Small Molecules
• Cyclic AMP
• Epinephrine and many other signaling
molecules lead to activation of adenylyl
cyclase by G proteins and formation of
cAMP
• The immediate effect of an elevation in
cAMP levels is usually the activation of a
serine/threonine kinase called protein
kinase A.
Transduction Small Molecules
• Calcium Ions and Inositol
Trisphosphate (IP3 )
• In animals many signaling molecules
induce responses their target cells via
increasing the cytosolic concentration
of calcium ions (Ca2+):
• Neurotransmitters
• Growth factors
• Some hormones
Transduction Small Molecules
• The Ca2+ concentration in the cytosol is
usually much lower than in the
extracellular fluid and ER.
• Protein pumps in the plasma membrane
and the ER membrane, driven by ATP, move
Ca2+ from the cytosol into the
extracellular fluid and into the lumen of
the ER.
• Mitochondrial pumps, driven by
chemiosmosis, move Ca2+ into
mitochondria when the calcium level in the
cytosol rises significantly.
Transduction Small Molecules
• If the cytosolic Ca2+ level is low, in
response to a signal relayed by a signal
transduction pathway, the cytosolic
calcium level may rise, usually by a
mechanism that releases Ca2+ from
the cell’s ER.
• The pathways leading to calcium
release involve two other second
messengers:
• Inositol trisphosphate (IP3)
• Diacylglycerol (DAG).
• Scientists use the term second
messenger for all small, non-
protein components of signal
transduction pathways.
Response
Response
• The response at the end of the
pathway may occur:
• In the nucleus: Many signaling pathways
ultimately regulate protein synthesis, usually
by turning specific genes on or off in the
nucleus. Like an activated steroid receptor,
the final activated molecule in a signaling
pathway may function as a transcription
factor.
• In the cytoplasm: Sometimes a signaling
pathway may regulate the activity of proteins
rather than causing their synthesis by
activating gene expression. This directly
affects proteins that function outside the
nucleus

  • 2. Outlines • The nature of signaling • The elements of signaling • Types of signaling • Stages of signaling • Reception: A signaling molecule binds to a receptor protein • Plasma membrane receptors • G protein-coupled receptors • Receptor Tyrosine Kinases • Ion channel receptors • Intracellular receptors • Transduction • Response
  • 3. The Elements of Signaling • Signaling pathway is composed of different elements: • Signaling cell • Signal • Target cell • Signal transduction: is the conversion of one form of signal to another • Cell signaling: is receiving and transducing signals
  • 4. Types of signaling • The released signal may carry out its effect on: • Local cells (local signaling) • Distant cells (long-distant signaling) • In both animal and plant: • Cell junctions • Cell-cell recognition • AKA Contact-dependent
  • 5. Types of signaling Local Signaling Long-distance Signaling
  • 6. Stages of signaling • There are 3 stage: • Reception: Reception is the target cell’s detection of a signaling molecule coming from outside the cell. • A chemical signal is “detected” when the signaling molecule binds to a receptor protein located at the cell’s surface • Transduction: converts the signal to a form that can bring about a specific cellular response. • Response: the transduced signal finally triggers a specific cellular response.
  • 8. Reception • Main elements of this system are: • Receptor protein molecule • Ligand molecule • Ligand binding generally causes a receptor protein to undergo a change in shape. • 3 types of receptors are involved in this stage: • G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) • Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) • Ion channel receptors
  • 9. Reception – G protein receptors • A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is a cell-surface transmembrane receptor that works with the help of a G protein, a protein that binds the energy-rich molecule GTP.
  • 11. Reception – RTKs • Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) belong to a major class of plasma membrane receptors characterized by having enzymatic activity.
  • 13. Reception – Ion channel Receptors • A ligand-gated ion channel is a type of membrane channel receptor containing a region that can act as a “gate,” opening or closing the channel when the receptor changes shape. • When a signaling molecule binds as a ligand to the channel receptor, the channel opens or closes, allowing or blocking the flow of specific ions, such as Na+ or Ca2+.
  • 17. Transduction • Signal transduction pathway is the chain of molecular interactions that leads to a particular response within the cell. • Like dominos, it resembles a series of activations • Transduction molecules: • Proteins • Phosphorylation/ Dephosphorylating • Small Molecules and Second Messengers • Cyclic AMP (cAMP) • Calcium ion and Inositol Triphosphate (IP3)
  • 18. Transduction Proteins • Protein Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation • Protein Kinase: • An enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from ATP to a protein • Protein Phosphatase: • An enzymes that can rapidly remove phosphate groups from proteins
  • 19. Signaling – Transduction Small Molecules • Cyclic AMP • The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) is made from ATP by Adenylyl Cyclase • This enzyme is embedded in the plasma membrane. • The phosphate group in cAMP is attached to both the 5’ and the 3’ carbons; this cyclic arrangement is the basis for the molecule’s name. • Cyclic AMP is inactivated by phosphodiesterase • This enzyme converts it to AMP.
  • 20. Signaling – Transduction Small Molecules • Cyclic AMP • Epinephrine and many other signaling molecules lead to activation of adenylyl cyclase by G proteins and formation of cAMP • The immediate effect of an elevation in cAMP levels is usually the activation of a serine/threonine kinase called protein kinase A.
  • 21. Transduction Small Molecules • Calcium Ions and Inositol Trisphosphate (IP3 ) • In animals many signaling molecules induce responses their target cells via increasing the cytosolic concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+): • Neurotransmitters • Growth factors • Some hormones
  • 22. Transduction Small Molecules • The Ca2+ concentration in the cytosol is usually much lower than in the extracellular fluid and ER. • Protein pumps in the plasma membrane and the ER membrane, driven by ATP, move Ca2+ from the cytosol into the extracellular fluid and into the lumen of the ER. • Mitochondrial pumps, driven by chemiosmosis, move Ca2+ into mitochondria when the calcium level in the cytosol rises significantly.
  • 23. Transduction Small Molecules • If the cytosolic Ca2+ level is low, in response to a signal relayed by a signal transduction pathway, the cytosolic calcium level may rise, usually by a mechanism that releases Ca2+ from the cell’s ER. • The pathways leading to calcium release involve two other second messengers: • Inositol trisphosphate (IP3) • Diacylglycerol (DAG). • Scientists use the term second messenger for all small, non- protein components of signal transduction pathways.
  • 25. Response • The response at the end of the pathway may occur: • In the nucleus: Many signaling pathways ultimately regulate protein synthesis, usually by turning specific genes on or off in the nucleus. Like an activated steroid receptor, the final activated molecule in a signaling pathway may function as a transcription factor. • In the cytoplasm: Sometimes a signaling pathway may regulate the activity of proteins rather than causing their synthesis by activating gene expression. This directly affects proteins that function outside the nucleus
