PW123638 View Pathway	signaling sigH Acinetobacter baylyi (strain ATCC 33305 / BD413 / ADP1) SigH is a key regulator of an extensive transcriptional network that responds to oxidative, nitrosative, and heat stresses in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and this sigma factor is required for virulence in animal models of infection. SigH is negatively regulated by RshA, its cognate anti-sigma factor, which functions as a stress sensor and redox switch. While RshA provides a direct mechanism for sensing stress and activating transcription, bacteria use several types of signal transduction systems to sense the external environment. M. tuberculosis encodes several serine-threonine protein kinase signaling molecules, 2 of which, PknA and PknB, are essential and have been shown to regulate cell morphology and cell wall synthesis. In this work, we demonstrate that SigH and RshA are phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo by PknB. We show that phosphorylation of RshA, but not SigH, interferes with the interaction of these 2 proteins in vitro. Consistent with this finding, negative regulation of SigH activity by RshA in vivo is partially relieved in strains in which pknB is over-expressed, resulting in increased resistance to oxidative stress. These findings demonstrate an interaction between the signaling pathways mediated by PknB and the stress response regulon controlled by SigH. The intersection of these apparently discrete regulatory systems provides a mechanism by which limited activation of the SigH-dependent stress response in M. tuberculosis can be achieved. Coordination of the PknB and SigH regulatory pathways through phosphorylation of RshA may lead to adaptive responses that are important in the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis infection.

PW126170 View Pathway	drug action Sildenafil Action Pathway Homo sapiens Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Sexual stimulation causes the release of nitric oxide (NO) from nerves and endothelial cells into the penis. NO activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase.2 The activation of this enzyme is followed by the synthesis of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP), activating a cascade of protein kinase-dependent phosphorylation events in smooth muscles, ultimately resulting in the dephosphorylation of myosin light chains within smooth muscle. This activity causes the relaxation of smooth muscle within blood vessels, resulting in the desired vasodilatory effect. Phosphodiesterase-5 breaks down cGMP to GMP. Sildenafil inhibits phosphodiesterase-5, preventing the breakdown of cGMP. This increases the concentration of cGMP, increasing the vasodilation and improving blood flow leading to penile erection.
