Eukaryotic Chemotaxis: Distinctions between Directional Sensing and Polarization*
Peter Devreotes and
Chris Janetopoulos
From the
Department of Cell Biology, Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine,
Baltimore, Maryland 21205
Directional sensing and polarization are fundamental cellular responses
that play a central role in health and disease. In this review we define each
process and evaluate a series of models previously proposed to explain these
phenomena. New findings show that directional sensing by G protein-coupled
receptors is localized at a discrete step in the signaling pathway downstream
of G protein activation but upstream of the accumulation of PIP3.
Local levels of PIP3, whether triggered by chemoattractants,
particle binding, or spontaneous events, determine the sites of new
actin-filled projections. Robust control of the temporal and spatial levels of
PIP3 is achieved by reciprocal regulation of PI3K and PTEN. These
observations suggest that a local excitation-global inhibition model can
account for the localization of PI3K and PTEN and thereby explain directional
sensing. However, elements of other models, including positive feedback and
the reaction of the cytoskeleton, must be invoked to account for
polarization.
