CHAPTER 6 Cytoplasmic Signaling Circuitry Programs Many of the Traits of Cancer Signaling cascades
A signaling pathway reaches from the cell surface into the nucleus Expression of immediate early genes
cycloheximide Immediate vs. delayed early genes
The Ras protein stands in the middle of a complex signaling cascade Structure of the fly eye. Son of sevenless
Tyrosine phosphorylation controls the location and thereby the actions of many cytoplasmic signaling proteins Domain structure of the Src protein
Attraction of signal-transducing proteins by phosphorylated receptors
Protein interaction domains as modular units of protein structure
SH2 and SH3 groups explain how growth factor receptors activate Ras and acquire signaling specificity Intermolecular links forgets by the Grb2 and Shc bridging proteins
Ras-regulated signaling pathways: A cascade of kinases forms one of three important signaling pathways downstream of Ras The Raseffector loop
Ras-regulated signaling pathways: a second downstream pathway controls inositol lipids and the Akt/PKB kinase The PI3K kinase pathway
Activation of PI3K by Ras, growth factor receptors and somatic mutation.
Migration of PH-containing proteins to PIP3 in the plasma membrane
Ras-regulated signaling pathways: a third downstream pathway acts through Ral, a distant cousin of Ras Ral and the control of cytoskeleton
The Jak–STAT pathway allows signals to be transmitted from the plasma membrane directly to the nucleus
Cell adhesion receptors emit signals that converge with those released by growth factor receptors Integrin signaling
The Wnt–β-catenin pathway contributes to cell proliferation Multiple roles of b-catenin
G-protein–coupled receptors can also drive normal and neoplastic proliferation
Four additional “dual-address” signaling pathways contribute in various ways to normal and neoplastic proliferation
Well-designed signaling circuits require both negative and positive feedback controls
