What does it mean to say that a signal is transduced?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. The signal enters the cell directly and binds to a receptor inside.

  2. The physical form of the signal changes as it passes from the cell membrane to the ultimate intracellular target.

  3. The signal is amplified, such that even one signal molecule evokes a large response.

  4. The signal triggers a sequence of phosphorylation events inside the cell.

In a certain enzyme-catalyzed reaction the following steps occur:

1. A phosphate group on substrate A is transferred to a side chain of an active site residue of the enzyme.

2. The dephosphorylated form of substrate A dissociates from the enzyme.

3. Substrate B enters the active site and is phosphorylated with simultaneous regeneration of the enzyme in its original form.
