    • Volume 32
    • Earl R. Stadtman + 2 more
    • English
    Current Topics in Cellular Regulation: Volume 32 is a collection of papers that discusses the role of GTP-binding proteins in signal transduction, the activation of cholera toxin by ADP-ribosylation factors, and the signal transduction by the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor. Other papers explain the secretory granule, the mechanism of stimulus-secretion coupling, calcium pumps in the plasma and intracellular membranes, as well as the protein phosphorylation in translational control. One paper proposes a linkage between the multimeric structures and cytoskeletal elements to bridge the signal transducing systems and the cytoskeletal network. Another paper describes the signaling mechanisms utilized by CSF-1R, the similarities, and differences when compared to other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The paper explains in detail the mechanism of ligand-induced kinase activation, and also the possible biological role of certain intracellular substrates. Another paper examines the role played by protein phosphorylation in the control of translation, or when possible, any additional regulatory mechanisms operating in other eukaryotic species. Biochemists, micro-biologists, bio-physicists, cellular researchers, and researchers involved in the study of cellular biology will find the collection very useful.

  • Current Topics in Cellular Regulation

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 31
    • Bernard L. Horecker + 2 more
    • English
    Current Topics in Cellular Regulation: Volume 31 is a collection of papers that deals with the role of calcium as intracellular messenger, calcium release or entry across the plasma membrane, calcium in neurotransmitter release, and the regulation of free calmodulin levels in neurons by neuromodulin. Other papers discuss the calcium/calmodulin-d... protein kinase II, the regulation of muscular calcium channels, and the Na+-Ca2+ exchangers. One paper describes the mechanisms of intracellular calcium release or entry in which agonists acting through the phosphoinositide system, or possibly by metabolites or secondary messenger system,can regulate the mechanisms of cellular Ca2+. Another paper describes different approaches in evaluating the possible mechanisms of calcium in neurotransmitter release. The paper notes that imaging techniques can be used in the timing and order of events in the release process. Possible identification by the investigator of specific "releasing" regions at the membranes, such as active zones, can also define more precisely the exact localization of the process. One paper discusses the interaction between released calmodulin and cytoskeleton proteins that can affect polymerization and cross-linking of cytoskeleton polymers, that leads to filopodia formation or extension. The collection will prove beneficial to molecular biologists, general biologists, microbiologists, biochemists, and researchers involved in cellular biology.
