Genetics: Studies of genes, heredity, and variations in organisms
Gene: a unit of heredity
Major Points
 Genes reside within chromosomes like beads on a string.
 Genes on the same chromosome are linked, but genes on
different chromosomes assorted independently.
 New genes can be identified using linkage analysis based on
recombination frequencies between known genes.
 Genes can become mutated to produce different phenotypes.
 Genes determine the activities of enzymes responsible for
producing phenotypic traits (the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis).
 The study of genes therefore is not just the study of inherited
traits, but also the study of cellular functions.

Overview of Cell Signaling
Transduction
Signal transduction converts the change in the receptor to a form that can
bring about a cellular response. This might involve a series of steps that
alters and amplifies the change.
Reception
The cell targeted by a signal has a receptor molecule complementary to
the signal molecule or ligand. The ligand fits like a key in a lock and
triggers a change in the receptor molecule.
Three stages of
signaling process:
 Reception
 Transduction
 Response
 Activation of certain enzyme
 Rearrangement of the cytoskeleton
 Activation of specific genes
Response
This can be any of many
cellular activities, such as:
Cell Signaling-  Arijit.ppt
Cell Signaling-  Arijit.ppt
 When the signal molecule binds to the receptor,
the receptor becomes activated.
Ligand-gated ion channels
Intracellular
Receptors
Amplification of signals
Protein kinases are important links in
Many signal-transduction pathways.
One kinase may activate many molecules
of the next type of kinases in the chain,
thus amplifying the signal, until the last
kinase activates many protein molecules
that carries out the final cellular response.
Non-protein molecules that act as intermediates e.g., cyclic AMP, calcium ions etc.
Second messengers
Calcium ion also acts as second messengers
cAMP-mediated
Signal Transduction
Cytoplasmic response to a signal
Ultimate effect:
Cellular response, such as-
 Alteration of metabolism
 Modulation of gene activity
 Rearrangement of cytoskeleton
 Signaling pathways with a multiplicity of steps have two important benefits
Protein kinase might activate a gene and
trigger the synthesis of a new protein
B. Specificity of response
A. Signal amplification

 Malignant gliomas are the most common subtype of primary brain tumors
 Glioma cells are migrating away from the main tumor mass through the
brain parenchyma
 Clinically, gliomas are divided into four grades:
Grade-I : Pilocytic astrocytoma
Grade-II : Astrocytoma
Grade-III : Anaplastic astrocytoma
Grade-IV : Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
 GBM(s) are multiforme in microscopically and genetically with various
deletions, amplifications and point mutations
 GBM(s) are highly proliferative and resistant to apoptosis
 GBM (s) are resistant to radiation therapy and chemotherapy
The Gliomas
Stat Family Members
 Stat1 : is crucial for interferon (IFN)-induced viral resistance
 Stat2 : is critical for IFN-a and IL-10 signaling
 Stat3 : deficiency results in very early embryonic lethality,
for unknown reasons
 Stat4 : is critical for interleukin-12 signaling
 Stat5 : are activated in the response to a variety of
(5A & 5B) cytokines including IL-13, EPO, OSM, GH,
prolactin and IL-2
 Stat6 : specifically mediates the effects of IL-4 and IL-13 on
B or T cells
