1 Chapter Cell Communication Overview: Cellular Messaging Cell-to-cell communication is essential for both multicellular and unicellular organisms Biologists have discovered some universal mechanisms of cellular regulation Cells most often communicate with each other via chemical signals For example, the fight-or-flight response is triggered by a signaling called epinephrine Concept.: External signals are converted to responses within the cell Microbes provide a glimpse of the role of cell signaling in the evolution of life Evolution of Cell The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have two mating types, a and α Cells of different mating types locate each other via secreted factors specific to each type A signal transduction pathway is a series of steps by which a signal on a cell s surface is converted into a specific cellular response Signal transduction pathways convert signals on a cell s surface into cellular responses 4 Figure. Exchange of mating factors Mating a Yeast cell, mating type a a a factor α factor Yeast cell, mating type α α α athway similarities suggest that ancestral signaling s evolved in prokaryotes and were modified later in eukaryotes The concentration of signaling s allows bacteria to sense local population density New a/α cell a/α 5 6

Individual rod-shaped cells Spore-forming structure (fruiting body) 0.5 mm.5 mm Aggregation in progress Local and Long-Distance Cells in a multicellular organism 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, or cell-cell recognition Fruiting bodies 7 8 Figure.4 lasma s Gap junctions between animal cells (a) Cell junctions lasmodesmata between plant cells In many other cases, animal cells communicate using local regulators, messenger s that travel only short distances In long-distance signaling, plants and animals use chemicals called hormones The ability of a cell to respond to a signal depends on whether or not it has a specific to that signal (b) Cell-cell recognition 9 0 Figure.5a Figure.5b Long-distance signaling Local signaling Target cell Electrical signal along nerve cell triggers release of neurotransmitter. Endocrine cell Blood vessel Secreting cell Secretory vesicle Neurotransmitter diffuses across synapse. Hormone travels in bloodstream. Local regulator diffuses through extracellular fluid. Target cell is stimulated. Target cell specifically binds hormone. (a) aracrine signaling (b) Synaptic signaling (c) Endocrine (hormonal) signaling
3 The Three Stages of Cell : A review Earl W. Sutherland discovered how the hormone epinephrine acts on cells Sutherland suggested that cells receiving signals went through three processes Reception Transduction Response Reception lasma CYTOLASM Figure.6- Reception: The signaling binds to the of the target cell s 4 lasma CYTOLASM lasma CYTOLASM Reception Transduction Reception Transduction Response Relay s in a signal transduction pathway Relay s in a signal transduction pathway Activation of cellular response Figure.6- Transduction: The signal is converted and relayed along a pathway 5 Figure.6- Response: The transduced signal triggers a specific cellular activities 6 Concept.: Reception: A signaling binds to a, causing it to change shape The binding between a signal (ligand) and is highly specific A shape change in a is often the initial transduction of the signal Most signal s are plasma s s in the lasma Membrane Most water-soluble signal s bind to specific sites on s that span the plasma There are three main types of s G -coupled s tyrosine kinases Ion channel s 7 8
4 Figure.7b G--coupled (GCRs) are the largest family of cellsurface s that work with the help of a G The G acts as an on/off switch Abnormal GCR system is related to diseases such as asthma, hypertension and heart disease Figure.7a 9 G -coupled CYTOLASM GD lasma G (inactive) GT Enzyme Activated enzyme Cellular response 4 Activated GD GT GD GD GT i enzyme 0 GCR Systems s Yeast mating factors Epinephrines other hormones and neurotransmitters Extremely widespread functions Embryonic develop Sensory 60% of medicines used today modify G- pathway tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are s that attach phosphates to tyrosines A tyrosine kinase can trigger multiple signal transduction pathways at once Abnormal functioning of RTKs is associated with many types of cancers such as breast cancer Figure.7c (ligand) α helix in the osines CYTOLASM Ligand-binding site tyrosine kinase s (inactive monomers) Activated relay s Dimer A ligand-gated ion channel acts as a gate when the changes shape When a signal binds as a ligand to the, the gate allows specific ions, such as Na + or, through a channel in the Ligand-gated ion channels play important roles in the nerve system. 6 AT 6 AD Activated tyrosine Fully activated kinase regions tyrosine (unphosphorylated kinase dimer) (phosphorylated dimer) 4 relay s Cellular response Cellular response 4

7 Small Molecules and Ions as Second Messengers The extracellular signal (ligand) that binds to the is a pathway s first messenger Second messengers are small, non, watersoluble s or ions that spread throughout a cell by diffusion Second messengers participate in pathways initiated by GCRs and RTKs Cyclic AM and calcium ions are common second messengers 7 Cyclic AM Cyclic AM (cam) is one of the most widely used second messengers Adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme in the plasma, converts AT to cam in response to an extracellular signal Figure. 8 Many signal s trigger formation of cam Other components of cam pathways are G s, G -coupled s, and kinases cam usually activates kinase A, which phosphorylates various other s Further regulation of cell metabolism is provided by G- systems that inhibit adenylyl cyclase Figure.

10 The Specificity of Cell and Coordination of the Response Different kinds of cells have different collections of s These different s allow cells to detect and respond to different signals Even the same signal can have different effects in cells with different s and pathways athway branching and cross-talk further help the cell coordinate incoming signals 55 Figure.8a Response Cell A. athway leads to a single response. Relay s Response Response Cell B. athway branches, leading to two responses. 56 Figure.8b Efficiency: Scaffolding roteins and Complexes Activation or inhibition Response 4 Response 5 Scaffolding s are large relay s to which other relay s are attached Scaffolding s can increase the signal transduction efficiency by grouping together different s involved in the same pathway In some cases, scaffolding s may also help activate some of the relay s Cell C. Cross-talk occurs between two pathways. Cell D. Different leads to a different response Figure.9 Scaffolding lasma Three different kinases Termination of the Signal Inactivation mechanisms are an essential aspect of cell signaling If ligand concentration falls, fewer s will be bound Unbound s revert to an inactive state 59 60
11 Concept.5: Apoptosis integrates multiple cell-signaling pathways Apoptosis is programmed or controlled cell suicide Components of the cell are chopped up and packaged into vesicles that are digested by scavenger cells Apoptosis prevents enzymes from leaking out of a dying cell and damaging neighboring cells Apoptosis in the Soil Worm Caenorhabditis elegans Apoptosis is important in shaping an organism during embryonic development The role of apoptosis in embryonic development was studied in Caenorhabditis elegans In C. elegans, apoptosis results when s that accelerate apoptosis override those that put the brakes on apoptosis 6 6 Figure.a Ced-9 (active) inhibits Ced-4 activity Mitochondrion Figure.b Deathsignaling Ced-9 (inactive) Cell forms blebs Ced-4 Ced- Other proteases for deathsignaling Ced-4 Ced- s Activation cascade Nucleases (a) No death signal 6 (b) Death signal 64 Apoptotic athways and the Signals That Trigger Them Caspases are the main proteases (enzymes that cut up s) that carry out apoptosis Apoptosis can be triggered by An extracellular death-signaling ligand damage in the nucleus rotein misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum Apoptosis evolved early in animal evolution and is essential for the development and maintenance of all animals Apoptosis may be involved in some diseases (for example, arkinson s and Alzheimer s); interference with apoptosis may contribute to some cancers 65 66
