BIOLOGY EDITION Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11 Cell Communication CAMPBELL TENTH BIOLOGY EDITION Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11 Cell Communication Lecture Presentation by Nicole Tunbridge and Kathleen Fitzpatrick © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Cellular Messaging . Cells can signal to each other and interpret the signals they receive from other cells and the environment . Signals are most often chemicals . The same small set of cell signaling mechanisms shows up in diverse species and processes © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 11.1 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 11.1a Epinephrine © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 11.1: External signals are converted to responses within the cell . Communication among microorganisms provides some insight into how cells send, receive, and respond to signals © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Evolution of Cell Signaling . The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has two mating types, a and . Cells of different mating types locate each other via secreted factors specific to each type . Signal transduction pathways convert signals received at a cell’s surface into cellular responses . The molecular details of signal transduction in yeast and mammals are strikingly similar © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Pathway similarities suggest that ancestral signaling molecules that evolved in prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes were adopted for use in their multicellular descendants . Cell signaling is critical in the microbial world .

Cells in a multicellular organism communicate via signaling molecules . In local signaling, animal cells may communicate by direct contact . Animal and plant cells have cell junctions that directly connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells . Signaling substances in the cytosol can pass freely between adjacent cells © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 11.4 Plasma membranes Cell wall Gap junctions Plasmodesmata between animal cells between plant cells (a) Cell junctions (b) Cell-cell recognition © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. In many other cases, animal cells communicate using secreted messenger molecules that travel only short distances . Growth factors, which stimulate nearby target cells to grow and divide, are one class of such local regulators in animals . This type of local signaling in animals is called paracrine signaling © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Synaptic signaling occurs in the animal nervous system when a neurotransmitter is released in response to an electric signal . Local signaling in plants is not well understood beyond communication between plasmodesmata © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. In long-distance signaling, plants and animals use chemicals called hormones . Hormonal signaling in animals is called endocrine signaling; specialized cells release hormones, which travel to target cells via the circulatory system . The ability of a cell to respond to a signal depends on whether or not it has a receptor specific to that signal © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Sutherland discovered how the hormone epinephrine acts on cells . Sutherland suggested that cells receiving signals went through three processes . Reception . Transduction . Response © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. In reception, the target cell detects a signaling molecule that binds to a receptor protein on the cell surface . 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 . In response, the transduced signal triggers a specific response in the target cell © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Animation: Overview of Cell Signaling © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 11.3: Transduction: Cascades of molecular interactions relay signals from receptors to target molecules in the cell . Signal transduction usually involves multiple steps . Multistep pathways can greatly amplify a signal . Multistep pathways provide more opportunities for coordination and regulation of the cellular response © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Signal Transduction Pathways . The binding of a signaling molecule to a receptor triggers the first step in a chain of molecular interactions . Like falling dominoes, the receptor activates another protein, which activates another, and so on, until the protein producing the response is activated . At each step, the signal is transduced into a different form, usually a shape change in a protein © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Protein Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation . Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins is a widespread cellular mechanism for regulating protein activity . Protein kinases transfer phosphates from ATP to protein, a process called phosphorylation . Many relay molecules in signal transduction pathways are protein kinases, creating a phosphorylation cascade © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Protein phosphatases rapidly remove the phosphates from proteins, a process called dephosphorylation . This phosphorylation and dephosphorylation system acts as a molecular switch, turning activities on and off or up or down, as required © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Small Molecules and Ions as Second Messengers . Many signaling pathways involve second messengers . Second messengers are small, nonprotein, water-soluble molecules or ions that spread throughout a cell by diffusion . Second messengers participate in pathways initiated by GPCRs and RTKs . Cyclic AMP and calcium ions are common second messengers © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Cyclic AMP . Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is one of the most widely used second messengers .

Injury–induced epithelial secretion of profibrotic factors is hypothesized to underlie this link, but the identity of these factors and whether epithelial injury is required remain undefined. We previously showed that activation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway in interstitial pericytes cell autonomously drives myofibroblast acti- vation in vivo. Here, we show that inhibition of canonical Wnt signaling also substantially prevented TGFb– dependent myofibroblast activation in vitro. To investigate whether Wnt ligand derived from proximal tubule is sufficient for renal fibrogenesis, we generated a novel mouse strain with inducible proximal tubule Wnt1 secretion. Adult mice were treated with vehicle or tamoxifen and euthanized at 12 or 24 weeks postinjection. Compared

  • The Regulatory Role of Key Metabolites in the Control of Cell Signaling
    biomolecules Review The Regulatory Role of Key Metabolites in the Control of Cell Signaling Riccardo Milanesi, Paola Coccetti * and Farida Tripodi Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences, University of Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milan, Italy; [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (F.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-02-6448-3521 Received: 8 May 2020; Accepted: 3 June 2020; Published: 5 June 2020 Abstract: Robust biological systems are able to adapt to internal and environmental perturbations. This is ensured by a thick crosstalk between metabolism and signal transduction pathways, through which cell cycle progression, cell metabolism and growth are coordinated. Although several reports describe the control of cell signaling on metabolism (mainly through transcriptional regulation and post-translational modifications), much fewer information is available on the role of metabolism in the regulation of signal transduction. Protein-metabolite interactions (PMIs) result in the modification of the protein activity due to a conformational change associated with the binding of a small molecule. An increasing amount of evidences highlight the role of metabolites of the central metabolism in the control of the activity of key signaling proteins in different eukaryotic systems. Here we review the known PMIs between primary metabolites and proteins, through which metabolism affects signal transduction pathways controlled by the conserved kinases Snf1/AMPK, Ras/PKA and TORC1. Interestingly, PMIs influence also the mitochondrial retrograde response (RTG) and calcium signaling, clearly demonstrating that the range of this phenomenon is not limited to signaling pathways related to metabolism.
