Chemical messengers in development: a hypothesis.

D McMahon

    Science (New York, N.Y.)
    |September 20, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Physiological and developmental regulation share similar mechanisms, utilizing simple biochemical pathways. This model explains chemical effects on development and suggests neurotransmitters have a broader regulatory role in eukaryotes.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Developmental Biology
    • Cell Signaling

    Background:

    • Physiological and developmental regulatory mechanisms may share fundamental similarities.
    • A simple biochemical mechanism could underlie diverse chemical effects on development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and validate a unifying hypothesis for eukaryotic regulatory mechanisms.
    • To explore the evolutionary role of neurotransmitters in cellular communication.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing the fluorescent antibody method for cyclic nucleotide and neurotransmitter detection.
    • Employing scanning electron microscopy with X-ray emission for cation analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The hypothesis suggests a conserved set of regulatory molecules, including cyclic nucleotides and neurotransmitters, across eukaryotes.
    • Neurotransmitters may have evolved from intracellular to intercellular signaling roles.

    Conclusions:

    • A simple, conserved set of regulatory molecules governs complex biological processes in eukaryotes.
    • Neurotransmitters play a more significant role in eukaryotic information transmission than previously understood.
