Overview• Essential for cells to have a way to
communicate with one another.
• Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness and connectedness.
• Evolved very early in the history of life.

S. cerevisiae• Yeast
• Can identify mates based on chemical signals.
• Occur in two forms: a and α.
• “a” factor binds to receptor proteins on α cells and vice versa.
• Binding causes cells to grow towards one another.
• Creates a hybrid offspring.

Signal Transduction Pathways• Series of steps in which surface
signals cause a change within a cell.
• Pathways are similar among various species:
– For example: yeast and mammals have very similar pathways, despite the fact that the common ancestor lived more than 1 billion years ago.

Communication • Local signaling: cells will secrete a local
regulator which will influence nearby cells.– For example: paracrine hormones and
neurotransmitters
• Long-distance signaling: uses hormones as chemical messengers that travel through the body via the bloodstream.– For example: endocrine hormones
![Page 7: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hormones• Chemical messengers.
• Wide variety of functions throughout the body.
• Vary in size and molecular type:– Hydrocarbons = ethylene
– Proteins = insulin
– Lipids = estrogen and testosterone

Cellular Junctions
• Cells can communicate via direct contact.
• Allows signaling molecules to travel from one cell to another through the cytosol.

What Happens When a Cell Receives A Signal??
• 3 main steps:
–Receptor recognition
–Signal transduction
–Response carried out by cell
![Page 11: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Signal Reception
• Ligand binding = a small molecule binding to a larger one.
• Binding will often cause a conformational change to the ligand.
![Page 12: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Types of Receptors
• Most are plasma membrane proteins.
• There are three major types that we’ll discuss:
1. G-protein-linked receptors
2. Tyrosine-kinase receptors
3. Ion channel receptors
![Page 13: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
G-Protein-Linked Recpetors
• Requires help of G-protein.• Many signaling molecules use this
receptor– Yeast mating factors– Epinephrine– Hormones– Neurotransmitters
• All G-proteins have a similar structure, although they vary in function.
![Page 14: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
G-Protein System Activation1. Signal molecules bind to extracellular
side of an inactive G-protein-linked receptor; causes a conformational change, and binding of another inactive G-protein.
2. Causes GTP to displace GDP; activates G-protein.
3. Active G-protein can bind to another protein (an enzyme for example).
4. Enzyme becomes activated and can catalyze reactions.
![Page 16: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
G-Protein Systems
• Widespread in cells throughout the body.– Embryonic development– Sensory reception (vision and smell)– Bacterial infections and botulism
• Many medications work by disrupting G-protein systems.
![Page 18: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tyrosine Kinase Receptors• Specialized for causing a cascading effect;
triggers several pathways at once.
• A portion of the receptor itself acts as an enzyme (tyrosine kinase).
• Tyrosine kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of tyrosine (an amino acid) (phosphate comes from hydrolysis of ATP).
![Page 19: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tyrosine Kinase Activation1. Ligand binding causes dimerization of 2
receptor polypeptides.
2. Dimerization causes activation of tyrosine kinase on both polypeptides – each one will phosphorylate the tyrosine of the other.
3. This activates a receptor – recognized by relay proteins (intracellular) which attach to the phosphorylated tyrosines.
4. Causes a conformational change to the relay proteins which can trigger a cellular response.

![Page 22: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ion-Channel Receptors• Ligand-gated ion channels will open
or close in response to a chemical signal.
• This can selectively allow or block the entrance of certain ions into the cell.
• Very important functions in the nervous system.
![Page 23: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Cell Communication. Overview Essential for cells to have a way to communicate with one another. Mechanisms are highly conserved = high levels of relatedness.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f435503460f94c643be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Other Receptors• Not all receptors are membrane proteins.
• Some are dissolved in the cytosol.
• Can pass through the plasma membrane because they are hydrophobic.
• For example:
• Steroid hormones
• Thyroid hormones
• Nitrous oxide (NO) – important for vasodilation
