There are literally thousands and thousands of different proteins; each one with a different order of amino acids, a different shape, and a different function, some of which include:
Enzymes to perform chemical reactions
Actin and myosin (and others) to make up the contractile proteins
Collagen and fibrin for connective tissue
Antibodies for binding to foreign or “non-self” shapes
DNA-binding molecules to regulate transcription/translation
And cellular receptors which include the many proteins that are embedded into the cellular membrane that function to initiate a signal-transduction pathway: insulin receptors, epinephrine receptors, estrogen receptors, testosterone receptors, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…
Cellular proteins are extremely important because they perform many of the essential functions of a cell

Some of the signaling pathways are well known such as the insulinand epinephrine pathways
![Page 7: Nutrition Concepts in Signal Transduction © C. Murray Ardies, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f979/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ERK-MAPK - p38 MAPK - JNK-MAPK - PI3K/Akt
Not so well known are the signal-transduction pathways that regulate transcription and translation of many different proteins: the ERK-MAPK, p38-MAPK, JNK-Mapk, PI3K/Akt, and the “Nfκβ” pathways.
These STPs regulate synthesis of the many proteins that are necessary for maintaining cell function and for producing proinflammatory molecules following various stresses. They also regulate synthesis of proteins in our stem cells and progenitor cells that are necessary for the different functions of cell division.

A sequence of DNA molecules codes for a sequence of amino acids of a protein. Different sequences of DNA molecules (genes) code for different proteins (gene products). Transcription of DNA sequence into mRNA sequence is tightly controlled by a variety of transcription factors (proteins) than can initiate, enhance, or repress transcription; transcription factors that are in turn controlled by a variety of metabolic, hormonal, or other signaling processes. Just imagine what might happen if you screw up any of the processes of metabolism, or hormone function, or signal transduction, or get toxic damage to the structure of any DNA base!

Regulation of Signal Transduction (S-T) Pathways
Activities of S-T pathways are regulated by a variety of growth factors, hormones, calcium, and ROS. Note that both Calcium and ROS affect enzymes that activate S-T pathways.
Thus control of Calcium and of ROS are very important for
controlling S-T.
If excessive S-T activity happens for an extended period of time (many hours to many days; or all the time…) then they will produce a variety of inflammatory signaling molecules that produces an inflammatory response…
Leading to even more disregulated S-T activity and more ROS…

DAMAGE
A variety of molecules that are produced through normal biological functions can lead to damage…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) from inflammatory cells, from normal metabolic reactions, and even from sources outside the body can cause damage.
Some of the ROS and Calcium can disrupt the signal transduction pathways by interfering with their normal regulation

The major antioxidant nutrients that help to reduce damage from ROS are Vitamin E & Vitamin C.
These compounds help to maintain the cellular redox state within “normal;” limits… and because normal metabolic reactions of cells constantly produce a variety of Reactive Oxidant Species (ROS) these vitamins are essential for normal cellular function.
They also help to get rid of ROS that enter the cell from other sources such as inflammatory cells.©C. Murray Ardies, 2014

Two other major antioxidant compounds that help to reduce the damage are β-Carotene and Glutathione

Antioxidant / Redox Control Enzymes
A variety of antioxidant & redox control enzymes are synthesized in cells in order to help maintain the cellular redox state within “normal” limits…
Thioredoxin (Trx), Peroxyredoxin (Prx), Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Catalase (CAT)
are essential enzymes that control the redox state of a cell.
They also help to get rid of ROS that enter the cell from other sources such as inflammatory cells.

Thioredoxin and Peroxyredoxin are very important regulators of the p38 and JNK S-T pathways in addition to being important antioxidant proteins…
In a sense, they are cellular redox sensors that help to quench ROS when there are elevated levels of them and they also enhance the p38 and ERK S-T pathways when there are elevated levels of ROS to help produce the proper response…

In order to ensure that we can maintain appropriate levels of our antioxidant compounds, antioxidant enzymes, and redox-sensor proteins we need to have the proper nutrients.

Insufficiencies in antioxidant and redox control-related nutrients lead to exaggerated ST responses as well as enhanced damage due to lack of protection from excessive oxidizing agents.
![Page 23: Nutrition Concepts in Signal Transduction © C. Murray Ardies, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f979/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Too many antioxidant nutrient and antioxidant compounds can lead to insufficient ST-responses due to stressors and lead to inadequate stress responses and to inadequate protection from oxidizing agents.
![Page 24: Nutrition Concepts in Signal Transduction © C. Murray Ardies, 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cd75503460f9499f979/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Only through optimal nutrient intake can appropriate regulation of STP-activities will occur along with both enhanced redox control and enhanced protection from various oxidants will result.
So… if you want this…..
