Cell Communication AP Biology Communication Methods Cell-to-cell contact Local signaling Long distance signaling AP Biology Cell-to-Cell Communications Cell junctions directly connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells Ex: cardiac cells for rhythmicity Surface receptors can give/send information Ex: specific immune response Plasma membranes Gap junctions between animal cells AP Biology Plasmodesmata between plant cells Local Signaling Adjacent cells are signaled. Chemical messengers released Ex: Neurotransmitters via neurons Local signaling Target cell Electrical signal along nerve cell triggers release of neurotransmitter Neurotransmitter diffuses across synapse Secretory vesicle Local regulator diffuses through extracellular fluid (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. AP Biology Target cell is stimulated (b) Synaptic signaling. A nerve cell releases neurotransmitter molecules into a synapse, stimulating the target cell. Long Distance Signaling Use of hormones Both plants and animals use hormones (e.g. Insulin) Can affect many cells in Other parts of the body Long-distance signaling Endocrine cell Protein or Steroid types Blood vessel Hormone travels in bloodstream to target cells Target cell AP Biology Figure 11.4 (c) Hormonal signaling. Specialized endocrine cells secrete hormones into body fluids, often the blood. Hormones may reach virtually all C body cells. How Do Cells Communicate? Signal Transduction Pathways Convert signals on a cell’s surface into cellular responses Are similar in microbes and mammals, suggesting an early origin AP Biology 3 Phases of Signal Transduction EXTRACELLULAR FLUID 1 Reception Plasma membrane CYTOPLASM 2 Transduction 3 Response Receptor Activation of cellular response Relay molecules in a signal transduction pathway Signal molecule Figure 11.5 AP Biology Step One - Reception Reception occurs when a signal molecule (ligand) binds to a receptor protein. Receptor protein is on the cell surface Ligand and receptor have a unique bonding AP Biology Step Two - Transduction Signal initiated by conformational change of receptor protein Signal is turned into a cellular response. Signaling cascades relay signals to target Multistep pathways can amplify a signal AP Biology Second messengers involved A phosphorylation cascade Signal molecule Receptor Activated relay molecule Inactive protein kinase 1 2 Active protein kinase 1 transfers a phosphate from ATP to an inactive molecule of protein kinase 2, thus activating this second kinase. Active protein kinase 1 Inactive protein kinase 2 ATP PP Inactive protein kinase 3 5 Enzymes called protein phosphatases (PP) catalyze the removal of the phosphate groups from the proteins, making them inactive and available for reuse. Figure 11.8 P Active protein kinase 2 ADP Pi AP Biology 1 A relay molecule activates protein kinase 1. 3 Active protein kinase 2 then catalyzes the phosphorylation (and activation) of protein kinase 3. ATP ADP Pi Active protein kinase 3 PP Inactive protein P 4 Finally, active protein kinase 3 phosphorylates a protein (pink) that brings about the cell’s response to the signal. ATP ADP Pi PP P Active protein Cellular response Cyclic AMP example… First messenger (signal molecule such as epinephrine) Adenylyl cyclase G protein G-protein-linked receptor GTP ATP cAMP Protein kinase A Cellular responses AP Biology 1 A signal molecule binds 2 Phospholipase C cleaves a to a receptor, leading to activation of phospholipase C. plasma membrane phospholipid called PIP2 into DAG and IP3. EXTRACELLULAR FLUID 3 DAG functions as a second messenger in other pathways. Signal molecule (first messenger) G protein DAG Ex: Inositol P3 and calcium GTP PIP2 G-protein-linked receptor Phospholipase C IP3 (second messenger) IP3-gated calcium channel Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Various proteins activated Ca2+ Cellular response Ca2+ (second messenger) 4 IP3 quickly diffuses through AP Biology the cytosol and binds to an IP3– gated calcium channel in the ER membrane, causing it to open. 5 Calcium ions flow out of 6 The calcium ions the ER (down their concentration gradient), raising the Ca2+ level in the cytosol. activate the next protein in one or more signaling pathways. Step Three - Response Cell signaling leads to regulation of cytoplasmic activities or transcription Signaling pathways regulate a variety of cellular activities AP Biology Pathways can also regulate genes by activating transcription factors that turn genes on or off Growth factor Receptor Phosphorylation cascade Reception Transduction CYTOPLASM Inactive transcription Active transcription factor factor P Response Figure 11.14 DNA Gene AP Biology NUCLEUS mRNA Types of Receptors There are three main types of plasma membrane receptors: G-protein-linked Tyrosine kinases Ion channel AP Biology G-protein-linked receptors Very common, diverse functions Only results in single pathway response G-protein-linked Receptor Plasma Membrane GDP CYTOPLASM G-protein (inactive) Enzyme Activated Receptor GDP Signal molecule GTP Activated enzyme GTP GDP Pi Cellular response AP Biology Inactivate enzyme Receptor tyrosine kinases Multiple pathway response Regulates/coordinates many cell functions Signal Signal-binding site molecule Helix in the Membrane Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyrosines Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Receptor tyrosine kinase proteins (inactive monomers) CYTOPLASM Signal molecule Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Tyr Dimer Figure 11.7 Activated relay proteins Tyr Tyr Tyr AP Biology Tyr Tyr Tyr 6 ATP P Tyr P Tyr P Tyr 6 ADP Activated tyrosinekinase regions (unphosphorylated dimer) Tyr P Tyr P TyrP Fully activated receptor tyrosine-kinase (phosphorylated dimer) P Tyr Tyr P P Tyr TyrP P Tyr Tyr P Inactive relay proteins Cellular response 1 Cellular response 2 Ion channel receptors When ligand binds, channel can open or close.
