- Title
G proteins and pheromone signaling.
- Authors
Dohlman, Henrik G
- Abstract
All cells have the capacity to respond to chemical and sensory stimuli. Central to many such signaling pathways is the heterotrimeric G protein, which transmits a signal from cell surface receptors to intracellular effectors. Recent studies using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have produced important advances in our understanding of G protein activation and inactivation. This review focuses on the mechanisms by which G proteins transmit a signal from peptide pheromone receptors to the mating response in yeast and how mechanisms elucidated in yeast can provide insights to signaling events in more complex organisms.
