what must euk cells repsond to
external signals like mitogens
response must go from cell membrane to nucelus
many pathways intersect
KF-kB cascade
important in mamallian immune responses
NF-kB structure
heterodimer (p50+p65)
help in cytoplasm by I-kb which blocks the nuclear localization sigal on NF-kB so it is unable to enter the nucleus
phosphorulation of I-kB leads to its degradation so KF-kB can enter the nuc
what leads to phosphorylation if I-KB
extracelluar signals activate IKK (ikb kinase) which phosphorylates two ser residues
IKB is ubiquitinated and degraded in proteasome
nucelar localization signal on NFKB is exposed and able to enter the nucelaus and activate gene expression
hyperactivation of NFKB is responsibel for
cytokine storms in some SARS COV2 infected patients
PPAR
implicated in many normal and disease related biologic processes relevant to the heart and vasculature inc lipid and energy metabolism, inflamaation, embryo implantation, diabetes, and cancer
mating type regulation in yeast
comnanitorial regulation of gene expression
yeast cell type is determined by
combanitorial activity of 4 transcriptional regulators
DNA silencing (histone deacetylation and SIR proteins)
DNA rearrangement (gene conversion)
sacromyces serivisiae exists in
3 cell types
a- haploid
alpha- haploid
a/alpha- diploid product of cell fusion/ mating
make a hpermone
a cells
phermone detected by receptors on alpha cells
alpha cells also make a phermone that can be detected on a cells
what can amte in saccharomyces serivisea
a cant mate with a
alpha cant mate with alpah
cell cylce arrest
imp ni mating to enure that both partners have only 1n haploid conent of DNA at a time of nuclear fusion
what encodes foe the alpha factor receptor
STE2
what encodes for the a factor receptor
STE3
yest cell type is controlled by
4 tarscriptional regulators
yest cell type is controlled by
4 tarscriptional regulators
a1, alpha 1, alpha 2, and Mcm1
What is expressed from the MAT locus
a1, alpha1, and alpha 2
where is Mcm 1 expressed
in all haploid cell types
yeast cell type regulators binding
in diffreent combinations to determine whether a sepcific, alpha specific, or haploid specific genes are expressed
