8. The Secret chemical Signal Endocrine signaling – signaling molecules act on target cells distant from their site of synthesis by cells of endocrine organs Paracrine signaling – signaling molecules released by a cell only affect target cells in close proximity Autocrine signaling – cells respond to substances that they themselves release, same cell type chemical snaptic Neuronal signaling

10. 6.1.2 cell recognition • 细胞通过其表面受体与胞内信号物质选择性结合，导致胞内一系列生理生化变化，最终表现为细胞整体的生物学效应 Cells selectively bind with intercellular signal by cell surface receptor,trigger a series of physiologicaland biochemical changes , result in integrated cell effect

11. Signal transduction An extracellular signal can produce a change in the intracellular state of the cell without the initial signal crossing the membrane.

12. 6.1.3 Cell signal Classify by chemical characteristic • Hydrophobicsignal （菑类激素；甲状腺素)can transport through cell membrane ,bind with receptor in cytoplasm and nucleus to form complex • Hydrophilic signal, cannot transport through cell membrane,bind with cell surface receptor and produce second signal ,this process called signal transduction . Gaseous signal NO

14. Gaseous signal :Nitric Oxide In response to a signal from nerve cells, endothelial内皮细胞cells that line blood vessels make and release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide enters muscle cells in the vessel wall causing them to relax and dilate (扩大的) Blood flow increases and more oxygen can reach organs such as the heart. The 1998 Nobel prize was awarded to two U.S. scientists for discovering this mechanism.

15. Nitric Oxide and Carbon Monoxide ◆The nitric oxide (NO) is a major paracrine signaling molecule in the nervous, immune, and circulatory systems. NO is able to diffuse directly across the plasma membrane of its target cells. The molecular basis of NO action, however, is distinct from that of steroid action; rather than binding to a receptor that regulates transcription, NO alters the activity of intracellular target enzymes. ◆一氧化氮是可溶性的气体，产自精氨酸，在一些组织中作为局部介质起作用。NO能够引起血管壁的平滑肌细胞松弛

16. NO

17. classify by signal location • Extracellular • Receptors which have N terminal face outwards and C terminal inside the cell. • When bound to a signal molecule, changes its conformation • Signal molecules are specific to their receptors

18. Intercellular • Mostly triggered by the extracellular signal • Which converts the extracellular into an intracellular signal • Eg. - G protein, GTPase, cAMP, Ca++, Kinases, phosphatases and many more • Also called as second messengers

19. 6.1.4 Second messenger and molecular switch Second messenger: Primitive signal bind with receptor and then trigger second messenger （ cAMP,IP3,DG,)

20. 第二信息至少有两个特征: 是第一信息同其膜受体结合后最早在细胞膜内侧或胞浆中出现，仅在细胞内部起作用的信息分子 能启动或调节细胞内稍晚出现的反应。 目前公认的第二信息有cAMP、DG、IP3、cGMP和Ca2+

21. Molecule switch protein Protein kinase phosphorylation let it open ， Dephosphorylation let it close Protein+GTP=active Protein+GDP=INactive

23. Communication by extracellular signals steps : 1)Synthesis and release of signaling molecules by the signaling cell 2) Transport of the signal to the target cell 3) detection of the signal by a specific receptor protein 4) And change in cellular metabolism or gene expression triggered by the receptor-signaling molecule complex 5) Removal of the signal, often terminating the cellular response

24. 6.2 Cell receptor Receptor: recognition and selectively bind with ligand signal,extracellular siganl change into intercellular physical or chemical signal，triggered a series of process，result in biological effect Membrane Receptor intracellular receptor cell surface receptor Nucleus receptor Cell receptor

25. Receptors • Signal molecules that do not enter the cell bind to cell-surface receptors. • Signal molecules that enter the cell bind to intracellular receptors.

26. intracellular receptor • Transmembrane receptors • That span the thickness of the plasma membrane • Intracellular domain and extracellular domain • Signal trasduction/through small molecules (Ca++) – Ion Channels

27. intracellular receptor

28. Three classes of cell-surface receptors • Ion-channel-linked receptors open an ion channel in response to the signal molecule. • G-protein-linked receptors activate an intracellular G-protein that in turn activates intracellular enzymes. • Enzyme-linked receptors directly activate a membrane bound enzyme.

29. Nuclear receptors • Soluble proteins localised within the cytoplasm or the nuceloplasm • Ligand activated trascription activators • Hormone regulation • Steroid receptors (located within cytosol

30. Defining a Receptor • Specificity – a receptor must be able to distinguish between often closely-related signals • High affinity – signals are often present in low concentrations – effective receptors can often detect nM to pM concentrations • Saturability– a cell has a finite number of receptors and, thus there is a limit to the number of ligand molecules a cell can bind

31. Reversibility – ligand-receptor association is not covalent – as the ligand concentration drops the complex can dissociate • Coupling – the receptor transfers a signal from ligand to cell

32. Coping with Multiple Signals – Receptor ‘Crosstalk’ Suppose a cell receives two signals. Signal A inhibits proliferation, whilst signal B stimulates proliferation… A B kinase …which phosphorylates and inactivates the receptor for signal B - result – no proliferation Signal A activates a kinase…

33. If ‘crosstalk’ only works in one direction (A to B) then signal A will be dominant • If ‘crosstalk’ works in both directions, the outcome will depend on several factors e.g. Timing of signal perception Relative receptor density Relative signal concentration

43. 1. Basic facts about G proteins • Each G-protein consists of 3 sub-units, sub-units can be together or separated. • Each G-protein has a binding site that can be occupied by either GDP or GTP. • A G-protein is said to be inactive when it is bound to GDP. • A G-protein is said to be active when it is bound to GTP.

44. Small GTP-binding proteins • Ras (growth factor signal cascades). • Rab (vesicle targeting and fusion). • ARF (forming vesicle coatomer coats). • Ran (transport of proteins into & out of the nucleus). • Rho (regulation of actin cytoskeleton)
