Resumen
El factor de respuesta sérica (SRF) es un objetivo nuclear de la señalización mediada por Rho. Esta vía regula la actividad del promotor c-fos, distinta de las vías de la MAP quinasa.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- La señalización celular de las células.
Sus antecedentes:
- El elemento de respuesta sérica c-fos (SRE) se une a los factores de transcripción SRF y TCF.
- El SRF por sí solo activa la transcripción en respuesta a la señalización de la proteína sérica, LPA o G.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel de las Rho GTPasas en la transcripción mediada por SRF.
- Para determinar si la señalización Rho converge con la señalización TCF en el SRE.
Principales métodos:
- Investigó los efectos de las Rho GTPasas (RhoA, Rac1, CDC42Hs) en la transcripción mediada por el SRF.
- Evaluó el requisito de Rho funcional para estímulos de señalización específicos.
- Examinó la correlación entre la activación de la vía SRF y la activación de la quinasa MAP.
Principales resultados:
- Las Rho GTPasas activadas sinergizan con los activadores de TCF en el SRE.
- La Rho funcional es esencial para la señalización a SRF por ciertos estímulos, pero no todos.
- La activación de la vía SRF es independiente de la activación de ERK, SAPK/JNK y MPK2/p38.
- La Rho funcional es necesaria para regular la actividad del promotor c-fos.
Conclusiones:
- SRF es un objetivo nuclear de una nueva vía de señalización mediada por Rho.
- Las Rho GTPasas juegan un papel crítico en la regulación de la transcripción génica a través del SRF.

02:04Co-activators and Co-repressors
Gene transcription is regulated by the synergistic action of several proteins that form a complex at a gene regulatory site. This is observed in eukaryotes, where the regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Regulatory proteins in eukaryotes can broadly be classified into two types – regulators that bind directly to specific DNA sequences and co-regulators that associate with regulatory proteins but cannot directly bind to the DNA. These co-regulators are further divided into...
02:38The Ras Gene
The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.

01:21Cell Polarization by Rho Proteins
Cell polarity is the asymmetric distribution of cellular and membrane components, making one side of the cell different from the other. This polarity is essential to many processes such as embryogenesis, axon migration, glucose transport across epithelial cells, and directional cell migration. A migrating cell responds to intracellular or extracellular signals via molecular cascades that reorganize the actin cytoskeleton to establish this polarity. In these cells, the Rho family proteins Cdc42,...
01:24Small GTPases - Ras and Rho
Ras and Rho are small monomeric GTPases that act downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and regulate various cellular processes. These GTPases switch between active and inactive states by binding to guanine nucleotides.
Three regulatory proteins control their activity:

01:07MAPK Signaling Cascades
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...
01:22Activation and Inactivation of G Proteins
Heterotrimeric G proteins are guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. As the name suggests, heterotrimeric G proteins are composed of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. They remain GDP-bound or GTP-bound inside the cells and switch between inactive/active states. The Gα subunit possesses the nucleotide-binding pocket that binds guanine nucleotides and switches between GDP or GTP-bound states. In contrast, the Gꞵ and Gγ subunits are always bound together with high affinity and are together...
