activation of transcription factors by surface receptors
Summary selected examples
CREB, SRF, NFAT, SMAD
additional specific example:
- Regulation of signaling pathways/transcription factors
by proteolytic cleavage:
WNT, NOTCH (embryonic development, adult stem cells)
Nuclear import, -export
Chromatin
Transcription initiation complexes

CREB, SRF, NFAT, SMAD
Gene regulation by PKA:
CREB bound to CRE
Is phosphorylated by
PKA,
activates transcription
without effect on DNA
binding
Example 3
The phosphorylated MAPK ERK is transported into the nucleus
and phosphorylates the transcription factor TCF on the promoter
or:
PLC-g
Raf
MEK
ERK: extracellular signal regulated kinase
TCF: ternary complex factor
SRF: serum response factor
SRE: serum response element
(DNA binding sequence for TCF and SRF
in promoter of various genes)

WNT signaling pathway
Secreted signaling peptide,
important in embryonic development
Mutatios on proteins of wnt signaling pathway
frequent in cancer
Example 4a
Wnt
Wingless (Drosophila)
Int-1 (breast cancer oncogen)
(detected experimentally by virus Integration)
In signalling pathway:
APC (adenomoteous polyposis coli)
mutated in adenoma of colon
and 80 % of colon cancer
induces myc gene
and proliferation
b-Catenin signaling pathway:
w/o signal: b-catenin is continously phosphorylated, ubiquitinylated, degraded in proteasom
Wnt-signal: Kinase is inhibited, non-phosphorylated b-Catenin transported into nucleus,
aktivates transcription by competing of a corepressor
(LDL rceptor related protein)
(Signaling protein)
Phosphorylation,
Ubiquitinylation,
degradation in proteasom
(Corepressor)
(b-Catenin
Coaktivator)
components of the WNT signaling pathways e.g.
important for maintaining the stem cell population
in gastro-intestinal tract,
Over-activation by APC mutation - cancer
Notch example 5b
hedgehog
1- Embryonic development
E.g. nerve cells Drosophila,
Delta on nerve cells signals to neighbouring cell:
Do not differentiate to nerve cell,
Peptide translocates into nucleus and converts
CSL to become an activator
2- Angiogenesis: Tip versus stalk cell, tip cell signals stalk cell not to become another tip cell
Nuclear import / -export

membrane:
