Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

6.4K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Notch Signaling Pathway03:14

Notch Signaling Pathway

6.2K
The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule.
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

10.2K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway02:33

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

9.6K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.2K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

7.7K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Summary

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) signal through Smad proteins, but Hox proteins help diversify BMP functions. Hox proteins are crucial for skeletal patterning and interact with BMP signaling pathways.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Cell Signaling

Background:

  • Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), part of the TGF-beta superfamily, regulate diverse biological processes from embryonic development to tissue homeostasis.
  • BMPs activate cellular responses via the canonical signaling pathway, with intracellular Smad proteins mediating signal transduction to the nucleus.
  • While Smad proteins are common across cell types, transcription factors recruited by Smads confer functional diversity to BMP signaling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of transcription factors, specifically Hox proteins, in mediating the functional diversity of BMP signaling.
  • To explore the interplay between Hox proteins and BMPs in embryonic skeletal patterning and tissue homeostasis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental gain and loss-of-function studies on Hox genes.
