Absolute Ligand Discrimination by Dimeric Signaling Receptors

Abstract: Many signaling pathways act through shared components, where different ligand molecules bind the same receptors or activate overlapping sets of response regulators downstream. Nevertheless, different ligands acting through cross-wired pathways often lead to different outcomes in terms of the target cell behavior and function. Although a number of mechanisms have been proposed, it still largely remains unclear how cells can reliably discriminate different molecular ligands under such circumstances. Here we show… Show more

“…To clarify how SIPC transduces such bimodal responses at the molecular level, one would need to identify its endogenous receptor in A. amphitrite. Although complex ligand-receptor responses, dependent on receptor expression, have been recently documented in other cellular systems (Jenni et al, 2015;Fathi et al, 2016), the absence of the genomic sequence of A. amphitrite and the limited available transcriptomic data make any attempt to explain at the molecular level the bimodal response of cyprids to SIPC highly speculative, at present.…”

“…Many aspects of IFN signaling are captured by the relatively simple equilibrium description of receptor complex formation obtained from the steady state of our ODE model, providing qualitative insight into how various components of this system affect signaling dynamics. The equilibrium solution for the number of active ternary complexes formed in response to a ligand can be found by solving the chemical kinetic equations along with the detailed balance condition K 1 K 3 = K 2 K 4 (see below), where K 1 and K 2 are the equilibrium dissociation constants for IFN binding to each of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, and K 4 and K 3 are the in-membrane dissociation constants for recruitment of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 respectively to the ternary complex (see Figure 1A) (53). The result is an expression for the equilibrium number of ternary complexes (53,65):…”

“…Signaling systems with crosstalk must decouple ligand concentration from ligand affinity in the downstream response if functional plasticity is to be achieved. We refer to such a decoupling as absolute discrimination (53,54). In systems with absolute discrimination, functional differences can only be partially compensated by changes in ligand concentration.…”
