Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...
Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts01:57

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order to...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

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,...
Structure of Cadherins01:25

Structure of Cadherins

The cadherins were one of the first cell adhesion molecules discovered; the term “cadherins”   is based on their calcium-dependent adhering properties. The first cadherins discovered on the epithelial, neuronal, and placental cells were named E-cadherin, P-cadherin, and N-cadherin, respectively. These classical cadherins share sequence and structural similarities. Other cadherins, including those involved in cell signaling, are grouped into non-classical cadherins. This diversity of cadherins...
Diversity of Antigen Receptors01:28

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

  • Cell Signaling

Background:

  • Protein-protein interactions are fundamental to cellular regulation.
  • Mammalian ShcA docking proteins possess phosphotyrosine (pTyr) binding (PTB) and Src homology 2 (SH2) domains.
  • ShcA also contains phosphorylated tyrosine-X-asparagine (pYXN) motifs that bind the Grb2 adaptor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the distinct roles of ShcA domains in mammalian development.
  • To elucidate the signaling mechanisms underlying ShcA's functions in different tissues.
  • To understand how combinatorial docking interactions contribute to tissue morphogenesis.

Main Methods:

  • Phylogenetic analysis of ShcA signaling pathways.
  • In vivo studies using mouse models.
  • Analysis of ShcA's role in cardiomyocyte and muscle spindle development.

Main Results:

  • Cardiomyocyte-expressed ShcA directs mid-gestational heart development via a PTB-dependent pathway, independent of pYXN motifs.
  • The pYXN motifs, along with PTB and SH2 domains, are essential for muscle spindle formation.
  • Muscle spindles are critical skeletal muscle sensory organs regulating motor behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Combinatorial differences in ShcA docking interactions enable multiple signaling mechanisms.
  • ShcA's functional diversity supports various aspects of tissue morphogenesis.
  • Understanding ShcA's domain-specific functions provides insights into developmental processes.
