Cell Signaling
• Cell-to-cell communication is essential for multicellular organisms
• Communicate by chemical messengers• Animal and plant cells have cell junctions that
directly connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells• In local signaling, animal cells may
communicate by direct contact

The Three Stages of Cell Signaling
• Reception• Transduction• Response
![Page 6: Cell Communication. Cell Signaling Cell-to-cell communication is essential for multicellular organisms Communicate by chemical messengers Animal and plant](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfed1a28abf838cb9078/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Reception• The binding between a signal molecule (ligand) and
receptor is highly specific• A conformational change in a receptor is often the
initial transduction of the signal• Most signal receptors are plasma membrane proteins

Intracellular Receptors• Some receptor proteins are intracellular, found
in the cytosol or nucleus of target cells• Small or hydrophobic chemical messengers
(lipid steroids) can readily cross the membrane and activate receptors
• An activated hormone-receptor complex can act as a transcription factor, turning on specific genes

Receptors in the Plasma Membrane
• Most water-soluble signal molecules bind to specific sites on receptor proteins in the plasma membrane
• There are three main types of membrane receptors:– G-protein-linked receptors– Receptor tyrosine kinases– Ion channel receptors
![Page 12: Cell Communication. Cell Signaling Cell-to-cell communication is essential for multicellular organisms Communicate by chemical messengers Animal and plant](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bfed1a28abf838cb9078/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• A G-protein-linked receptor is a plasma membrane receptor that works with the help of a G protein
• The G-protein acts as an on/off switch: • GTP= active GDP= inactive

Signal Transduction Pathways• The molecules that relay a signal from receptor
to response are mostly proteins• Behave similar to falling dominos• At each step, the signal is transduced into a
different form, usually a conformational change

Protein Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation
• In many pathways, the signal is transmitted by a cascade of protein phosphorylations
• Phosphatase enzymes remove the phosphates• This phosphorylation and dephosphorylation
system acts as a molecular switch, turning activities on and off

Small Molecules and Ions as Second Messengers
• Second messengers are small, nonprotein, water-soluble molecules or ions
• The extracellular signal molecule that binds to the membrane is a pathway’s “first messenger”
• Second messengers can readily spread throughout cells by diffusion
• Second messengers participate in pathways initiated by G-protein-linked receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases

Cyclic AMP• Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is one of the most widely
used second messengers• Adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme in the plasma
membrane, converts ATP to cAMP in response to an extracellular signal

Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Responses
• Ultimately, a signal transduction pathway leads to regulation of one or more cellular activities
• The response may occur in the cytoplasm or may involve action in the nucleus
• Many pathways regulate the activity of enzymes

• Many other signaling pathways regulate the synthesis of enzymes or other proteins, usually by turning genes on or off in the nucleus
• The final activated molecule may function as a transcription factor
