Document Summary

Juxtacrine signaling: cells are in close proximity: membrane receptors bind to proteins in the. Paracrine signaling: cells can be far away: simplest conception: a ligand (signaling molecule) secreted by one cell, travels through intervening space/matrix, and then the receiving cell has a receptor for it. Townes and holtfreter: separated cells from different frog embryos can re-assort themselves. Amphibian tissues become dissociated into single cells when placed in alkaline solutions. Cells re-assort themselves so that they recognize the siblings that can from the particular sample. Epidermal cells move to the periphery of the aggregate, and the mesodermal cells move to the inside. Reconstruction of spatial relationships in re-aggregated frog cells. Mesoderm migrates centrally with respect to the gut or endoderm. 3 germ layers mixed together: endoderm separates from the ectoderm and mesoderm and is then enveloped by them. The ones with the highest st will dive in the cell mass.

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	a.	An intracellular receptor activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane protein to form IP₃, which then activates the opening of an ER channel protein, which releases cyclic AMP into the cytoplasm, where it binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	c.	An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	d.	A tyrosine-kinase receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which activates phospholipase C, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

		It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger.
		It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.
