Biomolecular Interaction: Enzyme + Substrate • This is a generalization of how a biochemist might represent the function of enzymes. E + S ==> E + P
Biomolecular Interaction: Enzyme + Substrate • Here is an example of the generalization represented by two different ways. E + S ==> E + P kinase-ATP complex + inactive-enzyme ==> Kinase + ADP + active enzyme K P ATP ADP
Biomolecular Interaction: Enzyme + Substrate • This is another representation. inactiveenzyme Kinase-ATPcomplex Activeenzyme ADP

Metabolic Pathway: ATP Production • Glycolysis • Phosphorylation • Pyruvate • Anaerobic respiration • Lactate production • 2 ATPs produced
Generic Signaling Pathway Signal Receptor (sensor) Transduction Cascade Targets Response Metabolic Enzyme Cytoskeletal Protein Gene Regulator Altered Metabolism Altered Gene Expression Altered Cell Shape or Motility
Components of Signaling What can be the Signal? External message to the cell • Peptides / Proteins- Growth Factors • Amino acid derivatives - epinephrine, histamine • Other small biomolecules - ATP • Steroids, prostaglandins • Gases - Nitric Oxide (NO) • Photons • Damaged DNA • Odorants, tastants Signal = LIGAND Ligand- A molecule that binds to a specific site on another molecule, usually a protein, ie receptor
Components of Signaling What are Receptors? Sensors, what the signal/ligand binds to initiate ST Hydrophillic Ligand Cell-Surface Receptor • Cell surface • Intracellular Plasma membrane Hydrophobic Ligand Carrier Protein Intracellular Receptor Nucleus
Signal Transduction Downstream effectors Protein Signaling Modules (Domains) SH2 and PTB bind to tyrosine phosphorylated sites SH3 and WW bind to proline-rich sequences PDZ domains bind to hydrophobic residues at the C-termini of target proteins PH domains bind to different phosphoinositides FYVE domains specifically bind to Pdtlns(3)P (phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate)
Mechanisms for Activation of Signaling Proteins by RTKs Activation by membrane translocation Activation by a conformational change Activation by tyrosine phosphorylation
Mechanisms for Attenuation & Termination of RTK Activation 1) Ligand antagonists 2) Receptor antagonists 3) Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation 4) Receptor endocytosis 5) Receptor degradation by the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway
Activation of MAPK Pathways by Multiple Signals Growth, differentiation, inflammation, apoptosis -> tumorigenesis

Constructing a pathway model:things to consider 1.Dynamic nature of biological networks. Biological pathway is more than a topological linkageof molecular networks. Pathway models can be based on network characteristics including those of invariant features.
Constructing a pathway model:things to consider 2.Abstraction Resolution: • How much do we get into details? • What building blocks do we use to describe the network? High resolution Low resolution (A) Substrates and proteins (B) Pathways (C) “special pathways”
Constructing a pathway modelStep I - Definitions We begin with a very simple imaginary metabolic network represented as a directed graph: How do we define a biologically significant system boundary? Vertex – protein/substrate concentration. Edge - flux (conversion mediated by proteins of one substrate into the other) Internal flux edge External flux edge
Constructing a pathway modelStep II: Interaction Kinetics E + S ==> E + P kinase-ATP complex + inactive-enzyme ==> Kinase + ADP + active enzyme K P ATP ADP
Reversibility of Chemical Reactions: Equilibrium • Chemical reactions are reversible • Under certain conditions (concentration, temperature) both reactants and products exist together in equilibrium state H2 2H
Reaction Rates Net reaction rate = forward rate – reverse rate • In equilibrium: Net reaction rate = 0 • When reactants “just” brought together: Far from equilibrium, focus only on forward rate • But, same arguments apply to the reverse rate
The Differential Rate Law • How does the rate of the reaction depend on concentration? E.g. m+n: Overall order of the reaction 3A + 2B C + D rate = k [A]m[B]n (Specific reaction) rate constant Order of reaction with respect to A Order of reaction with respect to B
Rate Constants and Reaction Orders • Each reaction is characterized by its own rate constant, depending on the nature of the reactants and the temperature • In general, the order with respect to each reagent must be found experimentally (not necessarily equal to stoichiometric coefficient)
Elementary Processes and Rate Laws • Reaction mechanism: The collection of elementary processes by which an overall reaction occurs • The order of an elementary process is predictable
