Bacterial Signal Transduction

Transduksi Sinyal pada Bakteri

Bacterial Signal Transduction Bagian dari Cell Communication

Mengapa sel harus berkomunikasi?


Untuk mengkoordinasikan proses kehidupan. Organisme multiselular memiliki miliaran sel yang harus berkomunikasi untuk berkembang dan bertahan hidup. Komunikasi antar sel juga penting untuk organisme uniseluler. Ahli biologi telah menemukan beberapa mekanisme universal regulasi seluler, yang melibatkan mekanisme sinyal sel (cell-signaling mechanisms). Sel dapat menerima berbagai sinyal: sinyal kimia, sinyal elektromagnetik, dan sinyal mekanik.

Komunikasi antar sel

Example: Saccharomyces cerevisiaethe fungus that humans have used for centuries to make bread, wine, and beer. Use of chemical signal to find potential mates. Alpha () and a cells:

Signal Transduction
Signal transduction at the cellular level refers to the movement of signals from outside the cell to inside. Bacterial Signal Transduction: Two-Component Regulatory Systems In order to respond to changes in environmental parameters, cells must be able to transmit the information from the cell surface (site of induction) to the cytoplasm (site of cellular response).

General Mechanism of Signal Transduction Mekanisme Umum Transduksi Sinyal

Two-Component Sensory Transduction General Mechanism


These systems consist of two separate proteins. The first of these, the sensor/initiator [sensor kinase], is tasked with reading an aspect of the environment and generating a signal. The second, the response regulator, must receive the signal from the first protein and then act upon it in some way.
Note: Many enzymes are regulated by phosphorylation. A phosphate group is attached to the enzyme by another enzyme, called a protein kinase. When the enzyme is phosphorylated it changes its shape and thus its activity. Phosphorylation activates some enzymes and inactivates others; by this means one protein kinase can control several enzymes.

Two-Component Systems consists of two proteins, a sensor histidine kinase and a response regulator. Both proteins harbor two functional important domains: The histidine kinase detects a specific environmental stimulus through its sensor domain (input 1). This leads to a conformational change (2), resulting in ATPdependent autophosphorylation of a invariant His residue (3). His~P serves as the phosphate donor for the receiver domain of the cognate response regulator, resulting in phosphorylation of a conserved Asp residue and subsequently its dimerization (4). This ultimately leads to an activation of the effector domain of the response regulator, mediating the cellular response (= output 5), usually by mediating differential expression of specific target genes (= regulon 6).

Reseptor sinyal: kebanyakan berupa protein membran plasma


Kebanyakan molekul sinyal adalah molekul larut dalam air dan ukurannya terlalu besar untuk melewati membran plasma. Molekul sinyal mempengaruhi aktivitas sel dengan mengikat protein reseptor pada membran plasma. Pengikatan molekul sinyal ini menyebabkan perubahan bentuk reseptor atau agregasi reseptor. Hal ini memicu perubahan dalam lingkungan intraselular. Tiga jenis utama reseptor adalah reseptor terikat protein-G, reseptor tirosin kinase, dan reseptor ion-channel.

G-proteinlinked receptors

Binding of messenger-Chemical messenger binds to receptor protein, and the protein changes shape (conformational change.) The messenger fits into the receptor like a key in a lockit behaves as a ligand.

Tyrosine-kinase receptors The fully-activated receptor proteins activate a variety of specific relay proteins that bind to specific phosphorylated tyrosine molecules. One tyrosine-kinase receptor dimer may activate ten or more different intracellular proteins simultaneously. These activated relay proteins trigger many different transduction pathways and responses.

Ion-Channel receptors

Jalur Transduksi Sinyal


Jalur transduksi menyampaikan informasi. Ligan mengikat ke reseptor pada membran plasma, menyebabkan perubahan konformasi pada reseptor, memicu kejadian beruntun (cascade events). Protein reseptor yang diaktifkan mengaktifkan serangkaian protein lain yang menyampaikan informasi tersebut. Fosforilasi protein merupakan mekanisme utama dari transduksi sinyal dalam sel. Protein kinase Protein phosphotase

Signal Transduction Cascade


When the ligand binds to the receptor, it triggers some kind of conformational change that induces transduction. In the diagram, a phosphate group is being passed through a phosphorylation cascade. Finally, there is some type of response, usually once the signal reaches the nucleus, as it triggers gene activation or deactivation. Some important points to remember about signal transduction pathways are that they allow cell communication, quick response, and amplified signals.

Signal Transduction in Bacterial Chemotaxis

How do bacteria detect a chemical gradient?

Proteins called CheA and CheW are bound to the receptor. The former is the histidine kinase for this system. Upon activation of the receptor, the CheA's conserved histidine residue undergoes autophosphorylation. There are two response regulators called CheB and CheY. There is a transfer of a phosphoryl group to their conserved aspartate residue from CheA. CheY subsequently interacts with the flagellar switch protein called FliM. This induces the switching in flagellar direction from counter-clockwise to clockwise.

NRII protein bifunctional kinase/phosphatase regulated by PII phosphorylates and dephosphorylates NRI, and controls the rate of transcription initiation from nitrogen-regulated promoters.
