Axonal Transport: CDKs as Traffic Signals for Motor-ists along the Axon?
A screen for axonal cargo mislocalization in Caenorhabditis elegans neurons implicates the cyclin-dependent kinases CDK-5 and PCT-1 and the cyclin CCY-1 in the regulation of the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein.
متن کاملDynein is the motor for retrograde axonal transport of organelles.
Vesicular organelles in axons of nerve cells are transported along microtubules either toward their plus ends (fast anterograde transport) or toward their minus ends (retrograde transport). Two microtubule-based motors were previously identified by examining plastic beads induced to move along microtubules by cytosol fractions from the squid giant axon: (i) an anterograde motor, kinesin, and (i...
متن کاملDefective axonal transport in motor neuron disease.
Several recent studies have highlighted the role of axonal transport in the pathogenesis of motor neuron diseases. Mutations in genes that control microtubule regulation and dynamics have been shown to cause motor neuron degeneration in mice and in a form of human motor neuron disease. In addition, mutations in the molecular motors dynein and kinesins and several proteins associated with the me...
متن کاملComputing Along the Axon
We consider a special form of spiking neural P systems, called axon P systems , corresponding to the activity of Ranvier nodes of neuron axon, and we briefly investigate the language generative power of these devices
متن کاملMolecular landmarks along the axonal route: axonal transport in health and disease.
Axonal transport of organelles has emerged as a key process in the regulation of neuronal differentiation and survival. Several components of this specialised transport machinery, their regulators and vesicular cargoes are mutated or altered in many neurodegenerative conditions. The molecular characterisation of these mechanisms has furthered our understanding of neuronal homeostasis, providing...
