Protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions play central roles in signal and energy transduction within the cell. In the first part, the course reviews principal signaling pathways such as calcium and phospholipid signaling, trimeric G-protein coupled signaling, MAPK cascades, or growth factor receptor signaling, among others. In the second and main part, important classes of regulatory proteins are presented in more detail, illustrating the structure-function relationship, significance for oncogenesis, and latest advancements in the field. Major topics: Protein serine kinases, protein tyrosine kinases, lipid kinases, phospholipases, adenylate and guanylate cyclases, protein domains important in signaling, growth factor and cytokine receptors, adaptor proteins, small G proteins, MAPK cascades, focal adhesion signaling, important classes of transcription factors and their modes of regulation, coactivators of transcription factors, complexes for modification and remodeling of chromatin, preinitiation complex of RNAPolII, nuclear structure and gene expression. |

Basic knowledge of cell and molecular biology is required. To benefit from the course, previous accomplishment of the courses of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and/or Cell Physiology in whatever combination is recommended. The course is aimed at explaining the molecular details of signaling and it is assumed that the student is interested in the structure function relationships at the subcellular level. |
