GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CELL COMMUNICATION
Extracellular signal molecules bind to specific receptors
Extracellular signal molecules can act over either short or long distance
Autocrine signaling can coordinate decision
by groups of identical cells
“Community effect” in early development
In tumor biology---cancer cells stimulate their own proliferation
Gap junctions allow signaling information to be shared by
neighboring cells
Ca2+, cAMP etc. but not for proteins or nucleic acids
Intracellular electrodes, small water-soluble dyes
Connexin 43 deficiency --- abnormal heart development
Each cell is programmed to respond to specific combinations
of extracellular signal molecules
Different cells can respond differently to the
same extracellular signal molecules
The concentration of a molecule can be adjusted quickly
only if the lifetime of the molecule is short
Nitric oxide gas signals by binding directly to an enzyme
inside the target cell
Nitroglycerine --- angina
Viagra --- PDE inhibitor

Nuclear receptors are ligand-activated gene regulatory proteins
Ligand-binding domain
The three largest classes of cell-surface receptor proteins are
ion-channel-linked, G-proteins-linked, and enzyme-linked receptors
Most activated cell-surface receptors relay signals via small
molecules and a network of intracellular signaling proteins
Some intracellular signaling proteins act as
molecular switches
2% of human genes
Monomeric GTPase
Trimeric GTPase
Signal integration by protein phosphorylation
Intracellular signaling complexes enhance the speed,
efficiency, and specificity of the response
Complex forms transiently
Interactions between intracellular signaling proteins are
mediated by modular binding domains
PDZ Domain
www.cellsignal.com
Domain binding and function: PDZ domains bind to the C-terminal 4–5 residues
of their target proteins, frequently transmembrane receptors or ion channels.
These interactions can be of high affinity (nM Kd). The consensus binding sequence
contains a hydrophobic residue, commonly Val or Ile, at the very C-terminus.
Residues at the –2 and –3 positions are important in determining specificity. PDZ
domains can also heterodimerize with PDZ domains of different proteins,
potentially regulating intracellular signaling. In addition to engaging in proteinprotein interactions, several PDZ domains including those of syntenin, CASK, Tiam1
and FAP are capable of binding to the phosphoinositide PIP2. PIP2-PDZ domain
binding is thought to control the association of PDZ domain-containing proteins
with the plasma membrane.
