Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade01:22

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

15.3K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

7.3K
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...

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases01:26

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

15.5K
Receptor tyrosine kinases or RTKs are membrane-bound receptors that phosphorylate specific tyrosine on protein substrates. RTKs regulate cellular growth, differentiation, survival, and migration. They contain an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytosolic tail with intrinsic kinase activity. Several extracellular signaling molecules activate RTKs in one or more ways and relay the signal downstream. Ligands such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

4.7K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
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...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

10.2K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

5.1K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

Summary

S-locus receptor kinase (SRK) mediates pollen recognition in Brassicaceae self-incompatibility. Analysis of a transgenic model provides new insights into SRK

Area of Science:

  • Plant reproductive biology
  • Molecular genetics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism preventing self-fertilization in flowering plants.
  • In Brassicaceae, the S-locus receptor kinase (SRK) and S-locus cysteine-rich protein (SCR) mediate pollen recognition.
  • Allelic polymorphism in SRK and SCR determines the specificity of pollen discrimination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on the role of SRK in self-incompatibility.
  • To highlight new insights into SRK function from a transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana model.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of SRK's role in self-incompatibility.
  • Analysis of a transgenic self-incompatible Arabidopsis thaliana model.

Main Results:

  • SRK acts as the receptor in stigma epidermal cells for 'self' vs. 'non-self' pollen discrimination.
  • The interaction between polymorphic SRK and SCR ligands is crucial for SI specificity.
  • Transgenic model analysis offers novel perspectives on SRK's recognition and response functions.

Conclusions:

  • SRK is central to the recognition and response phases of Brassicaceae self-incompatibility.
  • Understanding SRK-SCR interactions is key to deciphering plant reproductive barriers.
  • The transgenic model advances research on molecular mechanisms of plant self-incompatibility.
