Chapter 11: Cell CommunicationWhat do you know about cell communication?1. What is the difference between paracrine signaling & endocrine signaling?

- Paracrine – local signaling from 1 cell to another in close range- Endocrine – long-distance signaling involving hormones

(a) Paracrine signaling. A secreting cell acts on nearby target cells by discharging molecules of a local regulator (a growth factor, for example) into the extracellular fluid.

(b) Synaptic signaling. A nerve cell releases neurotransmitter molecules into a synapse, stimulating the target cell.

Hormone travelsin bloodstreamto target cells

(c) Hormonal signaling. Specialized endocrine cells secrete hormones into body fluids, often the blood. Hormones may reach virtually all body cells.

Plasma membranes

(a) Cell junctions. Both animals and plants have cell junctions that allow molecules to pass readily between adjacent cells without crossing plasma membranes.

(b) Cell-cell recognition. Two cells in an animal may communicate by interaction between molecules protruding from their surfaces.

- Intracellular receptors…..aka steroid hormone receptors- G-protein-linked receptors- Tyrosine kinase receptors - Ligand-gated ion channels

Fig. 11.6 Steroid hormone interacting with an intracellular receptor


- Intracellular receptors…..aka steroid hormone receptors- G-protein-linked receptors

- Associated with a cytoplasmic G-protein- G-protein binds either GDP (inactive) or GTP (active)- Ligand binding

- Causes a change in receptor shape which- Attracts the inactive G-protein- GTP displaces GDP activating the G-protein- Activated G-protein can then activate other specific molecules

- G-proteins have GTPase activity to hydrolyze & inactivate G-protein

- Kinase – enzyme that phosphorylates- Ligand binding

- Causes receptor to form a dimer- Cytoplasmic tails phosphorylate each other - ATP is hydrolyzed & terminal phosphate is added to tyrosine aa

- Activated receptors can then activate specific relay proteins

Active protein kinase 1transfers a phosphate from ATPto an inactive molecule ofprotein kinase 2, thus activatingthis second kinase.

Active protein kinase 2then catalyzes the phos-phorylation (and activation) ofprotein kinase 3.

Finally, active proteinkinase 3 phosphorylates aprotein (pink) that brings about the cell’s response tothe signal.

4 Enzymes called proteinphosphatases (PP)catalyze the removal ofthe phosphate groupsfrom the proteins, making them inactiveand available for reuse.
