Figure3. Protein sequences of the α subunit of the F-ATPase in Escherichia coli bacteria, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), mice(Mus musculus), and humans (Homo sapiens). The α subunit is highly conserved across species. The * indicates that the amino acid at that position is the same in all species compared. Two dots indicate that conservative substitutions have occurred at that location, while one dot indicates that semi-conservative substitutions have occurred. Red amino acids are small and hydrophobic, blue residues are acidic, pink amino acids are basic, and green residues
1. Signal Reception • G Protein-Linked Receptors • Tyrosine Kinase Receptors • Ligand Gated Channel Receptors • Intracellular Receptors
Intracellular Receptors Intracellular receptor Steroid Hormones are signal molecules that get “internalized”and bind a receptor protein in the cytoplasm.
2. Signal Transduction - often a complex “cascade” of reactions
Cyclic AMP is an important second-messenger -small, water soluble non-protein molecules
3. Cellular Response Gene Expression (nucleus) Cytoplasmic Response
Complex signaling pathways allow for: 1. Signal Amplification: Ex. Epinephrine and Glycogen breakdown in liver. 2. Specificity of Response:
Apoptosis- Programmed cell death internal signals external signals Why would cells want to commit suicide or be targeted for elimination by other cells? Apoptosis
The Cell Cycle: CELLULAR REPRODUCTION What must happen before a cell can divide (reproduce)?
What is different about a eukaryotic cell? What complicates eukaryotic cell division?
