Signal Transduction Pathways
Convert signals on a cell’s surface into cellular responses
Are similar in microbes and mammals, suggesting an early origin
![Page 8: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cells in a multicellular organism (tissues, organs, systems) communicate via chemical messengers
A hormone is a chemical released by a cell in one part of the body, that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of the organism
All multicellular organisms produce hormones
Plant hormones are also called phytohormones
Hormones in animals are often transported in the blood
Local and Long-Distance Signaling
![Page 9: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Animal and plant cellsHave cell junctions that directly connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells
Plasma membranes
Plasmodesmatabetween plant cells
Gap junctionsbetween animal cells

Figure 11.3(b) Cell-cell recognition. Two cells in an animal may communicate by interaction between molecules protruding from their surfaces.
In local signaling, animal cellsMay communicate via direct contact
![Page 11: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In other cases, animal cellsCommunicate using local regulators
(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.

Earl W. SutherlandDiscovered how the hormone epinephrine acts on cells
The Three Stages of Cell Signaling
![Page 14: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sutherland’s Three Steps
Sutherland suggested that cells receiving signals went through three processesReceptionTransductionResponse
![Page 15: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Step One - Reception
Reception occurs when a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein, causing it to change shape
Receptor protein is on the cell surface
![Page 17: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The binding between signal molecule (ligand) and receptor is highly specific
A conformational change in a receptor is often the initial transduction of the signal
![Page 18: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step Two - TransductionThe binding of the signal molecule
alters the receptor protein in some way
The signal usually starts a cascade of reactions known as a signal transduction pathway
Multistep pathways can amplify a signal
![Page 19: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step Three - ResponseCell signaling leads to regulation of cytoplasmic activities or transcription
Signaling pathways regulate a variety of cellular activities
![Page 20: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Organisms detect changes in their environment and respond to these changes in a variety of ways.
These changes may occur at the cellular or organism level
![Page 28: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Feedback Mechanism
These have evolved in living things as a mechanism by which they maintain homeostasis or dynamic equilibrium. It occurs when the level of one substance influences the level of another substance or activity of another organ.

The pancreas is an endocrine gland which produces hormones which
regulate blood glucose (sugar) levelsAn increase in blood sugar level
triggers the release of the hormone insulin by the pancreas
the hormone insulin lowers blood sugar level restoring the body to its original
blood glucose level in two major ways:it increases the ability of body cells to
take in glucose from the bloodit converts blood glucose to the
compound glycogen -- this compound is also called animal starch and is
stored in our liver and muscles

Maintenance of Water : plants need to regulate water loss and carbon dioxide intake for photosynthesis and other life activitieswhen plants do not keep enough water in their cells, they wilt and die.Stomate: a microscopic hole in a plant leaf which allows gases to enter and leave and water vapor to leave as well. Stomata is the plural of stomate.Guard cells: open and close the stomate.the ability of the guard cell to close during periods of limited water availability for the plant allows the plant to maintain water homeostasis 32

Negative feedback occurs when the rate of the process decreases as the concentration of the product increases. It controls the rate of a process to avoid accumulation of a product.
Positive feedback occurs when the rate of a process increases as the concentration of the product increases. The rate of a process will continuously accelerate under positive feedback as long as substrate is available and the product is not consumed by some other process.

The central nervous system can directly release hormones, or it can signal tissues throughout the body to release hormones to provide rapid, short term communication between different body regions.
Hormones can stimulate nervous activity and the release of hormones that can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system without any input from the brain. They act more slowly but generally have a longer effect.

Timing and coordination of physiological events are regulated by multiple mechanisms.
![Page 36: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What are circadian rhythms?They are physical, mental and behavioral
changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in an organism’s environment.
They are found in most living things, including animals, plants and many tiny microbes.
They are produced by natural factors within the body, but they are also affected by signals from the environment. Light is the main cue influencing circadian rhythms, turning on or turning off genes that control an organism’s internal clocks.
![Page 37: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How do circadian rhythms affect body function and health?
They can influence sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, body temperature and other important bodily functions. They have been linked to various sleep disorders, such as insomnia. Abnormal circadian rhythms have also been associated with obesity, diabetes, depression, bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder.
![Page 38: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
How are circadian rhythms related to jet lag?
Jet lag occurs when travelers suffer from disrupted circadian rhythms. When you pass through different time zones, your body’s clock will be different from your wristwatch. For example, if you fly in an airplane from California to New York, you “lose” 3 hours of time. So when you wake up at 7:00 a.m., your body still thinks it’s 4:00 a.m., making you feel groggy and disoriented. Your body’s clock will eventually reset itself, but this often takes a few days.
![Page 39: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Circadian clocks in plantsare endogenous timekeepers that keep
plant responses synchronized with the environment. They must continue to run:
in absence of external inputs must be about 24 hours in durationcan be reset or entrainedcan compensate for temperature
differences

In plants, physiological events involve interactions between environmental stimuli and internal molecular signals.
![Page 41: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Plants and LightPlants have three basic responses or reactions to light. They are:
photosynthesis Phototropism photoperiodism
![Page 42: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Plants and LightPhotosynthesis is the process on which all
life on earth depends. Radiant energy from the sun is converted
into chemical energy. The energy is stored in chemical bonds in
sugars like glucose and fructose.
![Page 43: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Plants and LightPhototropism is the plant's movement in
response to light. All of us have seen the houseplant that leans toward the window. That is phototropism.
Growth hormones are produced which cause the stem cells on the side away from the light to multiply causing the stem to tilt.
The leaves are then closer to the light source and aligned to intercept the most light.
![Page 44: Cell Communication. Overview: The Cellular Internet Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms Nerve cells must communicate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e155503460f94afeba9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Plants and LightPhotoperiodism is the plant's reaction to
dark, and it is controlled by the phytochrome pigment in the leaves.
The pigment shifts between two forms based on whether it receives more red or far red light.
The reaction controls several different plant reactions including seed germination, stem elongation, dormancy, and blooming in day length sensitive plants.

Plant Hormones: Auxin: causes stem elongation and growth
- formation of adventitious and lateral roots, inhibits leaf loss, promotes cell division (with cytokinins), increases ethylene production, enforces dormancy of lateral buds produced by shoot apical meristems and other immature parts
