discovered over twenty years ago. They exist as two noncovalently bound a- and b- subunits that function as adhesion molecules and play key roles in many biological processes including actin cytoskeleton organization and transduction of intracellular signals regulating cellular functions. Integrins bind a variety of extracellular matrices including collagens and laminins. The phenotypes observed from the generation of integrin knockout mice have provided a wealth of information on the unique biological

that is “The Wow Signal”. In 1977‚ The Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio State University picked up an unusual signal. The Big Ear used number and letters to identify the strength of a signal‚ 0 being nothing‚ Z being a strong radio signal. One time‚ a signal came in reading ‘6EQUJ5’ from what seemed to be an empty spot in space. Dr. Jerry R. Ehman recognized this and was completely shocked‚ so he circled the signal in the data sheet and wrote next to it “Wow!”‚ giving the signal it’s name. The closest

Protein that binds to a specific single molecule‚ enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule. i.e. The muscles of a person exercising can not contract without receptor proteins and signal molecules that tell the muscles when to contract and when to relax. Second Messenger Signal molecule produced in response to the binding of a chemical signal. Acts as a signal molecule in the cytoplasm. Signal Molecule Carries information throughout the body and to other cells. Ion Channel

addition unicellular organisms communicate with each other. Signals may use light‚ or touch but we will focus on chemical signals. 1. External signals are converted to responses within the cell a. Evolution of cell signaling i. In yeast a cells and αcells both secrete chemicals‚ which can only be received by the alternate type yeast. This signals the two cells to join via fusion 1. The process by which the signal on the surface of the cell is converted to a series of

respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous system is rapid‚ while the signals sent by the endocrine system may have much longer delays and last for much greater lengths of time. The endocrine system consists of all those glands termed endocrine glands‚ which secrete hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that enter the

Characteristics of a signal/change: - Perturbation from steady state - Reproducible - Managed - Controlled Stimulus Steroid hormones are lipophilic and can therefore diffuse across plasma membranes; they form signaling complexes with proteins A signal binds a surface receptor ( induction of conformational change

inputs‚ outputs‚ and internal states. There are two types of sequential circuits. Their classification depends on the timing of their signals: * Synchronous sequential circuits - This type of system uses storage elements called flip-flops that are employed to change their binary value only at discrete instants of time. Sequential circuits have a clock signal as one of their inputs. All state transitions in such circuits occur only when the clock value is either 0 or 1 or happen at the rising
