Cell Messaging

some universal mechanisms of cellular regulation

cells most often communicate with other cells by chemical signals

Page 3: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Evolution of Cell Signaling

Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisia2 sexes: a & αtype a secrete a signaling molecule

called “a factor” which can bind to receptor proteins on α cells

@ same time α cells secrete “α factor” which binds to receptor proteins on type a cells

Page 4: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

2 mating factors then cause the 2 yeast cells to grow toward each other & initiate other cell changes

results in fusion or mating of 2 cells of opposite type a/α cell that contains genes of both original cells

this new cell later divides passing this genetic combination to their offspring

Page 5: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Signal Transduction Pathway

series of steps initiated by signal molecule attaching to receptor

mechanism similar in yeasts and mammals & between bacteria and plants

Scientists think signaling mechanisms 1st evolved in ancient prokaryotes & unicellular eukaryotes then adopted for new uses by their multicellular descendants

Page 6: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Communication Among Bacteria

quorum sensing: bacteria release small molecules detected by like bacteria: gives them a “sense” of local density of cells

allows them to coordinate activities only productive when performed by given # in synchrony

ex: forming a biofilm: aggregation of bacteria adhered to a surface: slime on fallen leaves or on your teeth in the morning (they cause cavities)

Local Signaling

(eukaryotic cells can also use cell junctions)

secretion of chemicals = messenger molecules from signaling cell

messenger molecules that travel to nearby cells only called: local regulators

Page 10: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Local Regulators

Animals: use 1 class of local regulators: growth factors

many cells in neighborhood respond to growth factor produced by 1 cell

paracrine signaling: secreting cell acts on nearby target cells by discharging local regulator

Page 11: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Paracrine Signaling

Page 12: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Synaptic Signaling

in the animal nervous systemaction potential travels thru cell

membrane of neuron when the electrical signal reaches axon end it triggers exocytosis of neurotransmitter (messenger molecule)

neurotransmitter travels across small space (synapse) attaches to receptors on target cell

Page 13: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Synaptic Signaling

Page 14: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Local Signaling in Plants

not as well understood as in animalsuse hormones (as do animals): long

distance signaling aka endocrine signaling travel target cells (any cell that has

receptor for hormone)Plant hormones aka plant growth

regulatorsmost reach their targets by moving

cell-to-cellsome travel in vessels

Page 15: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Long Distance Signaling

hormones (in some cases)

neurotransmitters: electrical signal travels length of neuron, may go from neuron-to-neuron for long distances

ability for any cell to respond to messenger molecule requires cell to have receptor for that particular molecule

Page 16: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 17: CELL  COMMUNICATION

3 Stages of Cell Signaling

1. Reception target cell’s detection of the signal

2. Transduction receptor protein changes converting

signal to a form that can bring about specific cellular response via a signal transduction pathway

3. Response activation of cellular response

Page 18: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Stages of Cell Signaling Response

Page 19: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 20: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Reception

cells must have a receptor for the ligand (messenger molecule) to react with

many signal receptors are transmembrane proteins with water-soluble ligandsligands:

usually large hydrophilic

Page 21: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Membrane Receptors

Page 22: CELL  COMMUNICATION

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors

cell-surface transmembrane receptorworks with help of a G protein (protein

that binds to GTP)flexible inherently unstable

difficult to crystallize so can study structure (use x-ray crystallography)

Page 23: CELL  COMMUNICATION

G Protein-Coupled Receptor: 7 α helices

Page 24: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 25: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

major class of membrane receptors w/enzyme activity

kinase: enzyme that catalyzes addition of phosphate group

cytoplasmic side of receptor has enzyme that: phosphate group from ATP tyrosine (on substrate protein)

Page 26: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Tyrosine

Page 27: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Inactive Monomers of Tyrosine Kinase

When there is no ligand attached to receptor site the kinase receptor protein exists as monomers

Page 28: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Binding of Signaling Molecule: Form Dimers

Page 29: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Tyrosine Kinase Activated by Dimerization

phosphate group added to each tyrosine

Page 30: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 31: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Recognition by Relay ProteinsRelay proteins

attach to phosphorylated tyrosine structural change that activates the bound protein

Each activated relay protein triggers different transduction pathway specific cellular response

Page 32: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 33: CELL  COMMUNICATION

ION CHANNEL RECEPTORS

Ligand-Gated Ion Channels

Page 34: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Ligand Binds to Receptor Site

ion crosses membrane & enters cytoplasm transduction pathway leading to a response

Page 35: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Ligand Dissociates from Receptor Site

Page 36: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Intracellular Receptors

in cytoplasm or nucleus of target cellshydrophobic or very small ligandsexamplessteroid hormones & thyroid hormones of

animalsNO (nitric oxide), a gas

Page 37: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 38: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Turning on Genes

special proteins called transcription factors control which genes are turned on

example:Testosterone (steroid hormone) its activated receptor acts as

transcription factor that turns on specific genes

thus activated receptor carries out transduction of the signal

Page 39: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 40: CELL  COMMUNICATION

TRANSDUCTION

when receptors for signaling molecules are membrane proteins the transduction stage is multistep pathway

usually involves inactive/active state by adding/removing phosphate group

benefit of multistep pathway is that possibility of amplification of signal if each step on pathway can transmit signal

to several molecules end up with large # activated molecules @ end of pathway

Page 41: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Signal Transduction Pathway

in most cases original signaling molecule does not enter cell & is not passed along signaling pathway

1st step triggered by signaling molecule binding to receptor

proteins often used as relay molecules (protein interaction a unifying theme of all cellular regulation)

Page 42: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Protein Phosphorylation & Dephosphorylation

protein kinase: enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from ATP protein most act on proteins different than

themselves most act on a.a. serine or threonine

(not tyrosine as in previous example) includes kinases in plants, animals, &

fungi many relay molecules in pathway are

kinases

Page 43: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Phosphorylation Cascade

Page 44: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Protein Phosphatases

enzymes that can rapidly remove phosphate groups from proteins (inactivating them)

also make kinases available to reuse

this phosphorylation/dephosphorylation system acts as molecular “switch” in cell “position of the switch” @ any given time depends on balance between active kinase & active phosphatase molecules

Page 45: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 46: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Second Messengers

many signaling pathways involve small, nonprotein, water-soluble molecules or ions known as 2nd messengers

1st messenger is extracellular signaling molecule

2 most widely used 2nd messengers are cAMP & Ca++

Page 47: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Cyclic AMP

epinephrine causes glycogen in hepatocytes to glucose w/out entering cells

search for 2nd messenger that transmits signal from plasma membrane metabolic pathway in cytoplasm

epinephrine binding to receptor followed by elevation of cytosolic concentrations of cAMP

Page 48: CELL  COMMUNICATION

cAMP

Page 49: CELL  COMMUNICATION

ATP cAMP

Page 50: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Adenylyl Cyclase

enzyme embedded in plasma membraneATP cAMP in response to extracellular

signals directly or indirectly(epinephrine one of many)

indirectly: receptor protein changes when signaling molecule attaches activates many adenylyl cyclase possibly thru GTP

Page 51: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 52: CELL  COMMUNICATION

GTP

Page 53: CELL  COMMUNICATION

cAMP as 2nd Messenger

1st messenger activates G protein-coup-led receptor adenylyl cyclase ATP to cAMP activates another protein (usually protein kinase A)

Page 54: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Protein Kinase A

serine/threonine kinaseonce activated it will phosphorylate other

proteins (depends on cell type)

Page 55: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 56: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Other Regulation Mechanisms

G protein systems inhibit adenylyl cyclase

uses different signaling molecule & receptor

Page 57: CELL  COMMUNICATION

understanding role of cAMP helps to explain how certain microbes cause disease

Vibrio cholerae: causes cholera in contaminated water forms biofilm over small intestines produces a toxin: enzyme that chemically

modifies a G protein involved in regulation of water & salt secretion (GTP --/ GDP so protein stays stuck in active form) high [cAMP] cells secrete large amts salts followed by water (osmosis)

Page 58: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Vibrio cholerae

Page 59: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Calcium Ions

many signaling molecules induce responses in target cell using signal transduction pathways that increase intracellular [Ca++]

more widely used than cAMP as 2nd messenger

Page 60: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Animal Cells Plant Cells

contractionsecretion cell division

pathway that leads to greening in response to light

Effects of Ca++

Page 61: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Ca++ Concentration Gradient

normally, [Ca++] inside cell << than outside

(up to 10,000x higher in extracellular fluid)

pumps used to send Ca++ into SER in muscle fibers (also in mitochondria, chloroplasts)

pathway leading to release of Ca++ from SER involves the 2nd messengers:

1. IP3 (inositol triphosphate)2. DAG (diacylglycerol)

Page 62: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Ca++ Pathway in Tear Production

Page 63: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 64: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 65: CELL  COMMUNICATION

RESPONSE

can be either nuclear or cytoplasmic responses

in nuclear responses the last kinase enters nucleus activates gene-regulating protein aka a transcription factor gene(s) transcribed mRNA …..

or transcription factor can turn gene offTranscription factors can regulate

several different genes

Page 66: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Nuclear Response thru signal reception transduction (phosphorylation cascade)

gene activation

Page 67: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 68: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Cytoplasmic Response

signaling pathway may regulate activity of a pathway (not synthesis of a protein)

open/close ion channelchange cell metabolism by controlling

enzymesregulate cell activities (yeast build

projections toward cell of opposite mating type)

Page 69: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Yeast Reproduction

Page 70: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 71: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 72: CELL  COMMUNICATION

How do signals induce directional cell growth during mating in yeast?

1. mating factor activates receptor2. G protein binds GTP & becomes

activated3. phosphorylation cascade activates Fus3

which then moves to plasma membrane4. Fus3 (a kinase) phosphorylates formin

this activating it5. formin initiates growth of

microfilamentsw that form shmoo projections

Page 73: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Controlling Response

generally, response controlled @ >1 site (not just either “on” or “off”)

4 aspects of fine-tuning response:1. Signal amplification2. Specificity3. Efficiency4. Termination of signal

Page 74: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Signal Amplification

enzyme cascades amplify the cell’s response to a signal

@ each step the # of activated products much > in preceding step of cascade

amplification happens because activated protein kinase stays in activated form long enuf to process numerous molecules of substrate

as result a small # signal molecules (like epinephrine) can release 100’s of millions of final product (glucose molecules)

Page 75: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 76: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Specificity of Cell Signaling & Coordination of the Response

certain cells respond to some signals & have no response to others

2 different cells may have different responses to same signal

different kinds of cells turn on different genes so different kinds of cells have different collections of proteins

Page 77: CELL  COMMUNICATION

What controls responses in cells?

response of a particular cell to a signal depends on its particular collection o

1. signal receptor proteins2. relay proteins3. proteins necessary to carry out the

response

Page 78: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 79: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Signaling Efficiency: Scaffolding Proteins & Signaling Complexes

Scaffolding Proteins: type of large relay protein to which several other relay proteins are simultaneously attached increasing the efficiency of signal transduction

Page 80: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Scaffolding Proteins Respond to same Signal

Page 81: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Scaffolding Proteins

some are permanently held together (terminal axons in neurons)

Page 82: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Relay Proteins that are Branch Points

Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) defect in single relay protein leads to:

abnl bleedingeczemapredisposition to:

infections leukemia

Page 83: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Termination of the Signal

ability of cell to respond to new signals depends on reversibility of changes produced by prior signals

binding of signal molecules to receptors is reversible as [signal molecules] decreases fewer

receptor sites occupied by signal those unoccupied: receptor molecule reverts

to its inactive form

Page 84: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Termination of Signal

any particular cell response occurs only when concentration of occupied receptors has reached a certain threshold:

if below threshold the cell response stops relay molecules return to inactive form cAMP AMP phosphorylated kinases lose phosphate

group

Page 85: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 86: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Apoptosis integrates multiple cell-signaling pathways

apoptosis: programmed cell deathSteps:1. DNA gets copped up into pieces2. organelles & other cytoplasmic

components fragment 3. cell‘s parts put into vesicles which are

engulfed by phagocyctic cells4. “blebbing” occurs (cell becomes

multilobed)

Page 87: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Apoptosis in Soil Worm C. elegans

2 genes identified Ced4 & Ced3 (ced for cell death)

both encode for proteins essential for cell death

are always present in a cell in inactive form

C. elegans has protein in outer mitochondrial membrane called Ced9 (from gene of same name) which serves as master regulator of apoptosis (has its brake on until “death signal” overrides it)

Page 88: CELL  COMMUNICATION
Page 89: CELL  COMMUNICATION

Signals that Trigger Apoptotic Pathways

capase: group of proteins that mediate apoptosis

several different pathways involving 15 capases identified in mammals

which pathway used depends on type of cell & signal used

1 major pathway involves mitochondrial proteins that form pores in mitochondrial membrane releasing mitochondrial proteins, including cytochrome c, activate capases
