Cell Signaling : Table of Contents Regulation of Cellular Growth Cell Signaling Growth Factors Receptors EGF Case Study Signaling Mechanisms/ Cascades 21 Cell Signaling : Regulation of Cellular Growth Size of an organism/tissue is tightly controlled by regulation of cell proliferation, growth, and death. Regulatory signals control growth autonomously (autocrine), locally (paracrine signaling) and at a distance (endocrine) Cell replication is regulated by complex pathways activated by cell surface or intracellular receptors, to which growth factors bind, and a cascade of intracellular proteins regulate the cell cycle machinery. 22 Hospital - COPYING PROHIBITED 11

Cell Signaling : Components: Cellular Receptors: G-protein Cellular Receptors: Proteins located within the plasma membrane that have an extracellular (outside) ligand binding domain and in intracellular (internal) signalling domain. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein-linked receptors (GPLR), comprise a large protein family of transmembrane receptors that sense molecules outside the cell and activate inside signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses. G protein-coupled receptors are found only in eukaryotes, including yeast, plants, choanoflagellates,[1] and animals. The ligands that bind and activate these receptors include lightsensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and vary in size from small molecules to peptides to large proteins. G protein-coupled receptors are involved in many diseases, and are also the target of around half of all modern medicinal drugs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:gpcr_mechanism.png Cell Signaling : Components: Cellular Receptors Side View Top View EXTRAcellular INTRAcellular Structural alpha helices http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/chemistry/people/academics/mlochner/sidetop_receptor.png Hospital - COPYING PROHIBITED 14

GFSO : Components: GF RTK Activation RS/TK (to the right) RTK (below) Cell Signaling : EGF Case Study Epidermal Growth Factor Epidermal growth factor or EGF is a growth factor that plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. Human EGF is a 6045 Da protein with 53 amino acid residues and three intramolecular disulfide bonds.[1] EGF acts by binding with high affinity to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the cell surface and stimulating the intrinsic protein-tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor. The tyrosine kinase activity in turn initiates a signal transduction cascade which results in a variety of biochemical changes within the cell - a rise in intracellular calcium levels, increased glycolysis and protein synthesis, and increases in the expression of certain genes including the gene for EGFR - that ultimately lead to DNA synthesis and cell proliferation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/epidermal_growth_factor Hospital - COPYING PROHIBITED 18
