Molecular and Cellular signaling of naturally-occuring molecules and proteins

Lead Editor: Professor Cheorl-Ho Kim, Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea

Guest Editors:

Special issue of Molecular and Cellular signaling of naturally occuring molecules and proteins covers a wide range of signaling molecules such as biosimilar proteins, natural compounds and microbial proteins. The molecules interact with their target extracellular or intracellular receptors to induce cellular and molecular signaling. They eventually cause phenotype changes in cells. For example, anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory responses are regulated by the molecules it they bind to target molecules present on cell surfaces and cytoplasmic spaces. Normally, cellular signalings regulated by low molecular weights compounds and receptor-binding ligands have well been known since 1990. Recently, pathogenic bacterial proteins are also being elucidated to interact with their host cells to induce anti- or pro-inflammatory responses through innate immune cells. Therefore, the present special issue covers all the aspect of the above signaling molecules.
