CELL COMMUNICATION AND REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION
Ultimately, when the second messenger comes in contact with a kinase (for example: cAMP), it will bind to the regulatory subunits within the kinase and allow it to separate from the catalytic subunits.
The catalytic subunits will now be able to have an affinity with other kinases and activate them. This phosphorylation cascade, they call it, will be able to reach and amplify gene expression. |
