Abstract:
This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 ISBRA Meeting in Yokohama, Japan. The chairs were Subhash C. Pandey and Toshikazu Saito. The presentations were (1) Action of ethanol on cAMP signaling pathways, by M. Yoshimura; (2) Alterations in the G protein adenylyl cyclase system and their mRNA levels in alcoholics, by H. Sohma; (3) The role of the CREB gene transcription factor in ethanol dependence and preference, by Subhash C. Pandey; and (4) The efficacy of adenylyl cyclase signal transduction to the nucleus in primary alcoholics, by M. E. Götz.

Overview of Metabolism
Plant Metabolism
Sunlight, the primary source of energy in plants, is first absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments present in their leaves. Plants then use this energy to carry out photosynthesis, where water is oxidized into oxygen and carbon dioxide...
Interactions Between Signaling Pathways
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
