An E-cadherin-mediated hitchhiking mechanism for C. elegans germ cell internalization during gastrulation.
Gastrulation movements place endodermal precursors, mesodermal precursors and primordial germ cells (PGCs) into the interior of the embryo. Somatic cell gastrulation movements are regulated by transcription factors that also control cell fate, coupling cell identity and position. By contrast, PGCs in many species are transcriptionally quiescent, suggesting that they might use alternative gastru...
متن کاملThe C. elegans Zonula Occludens Ortholog Cooperates with the Cadherin Complex to Recruit Actin during Morphogenesis
The dramatic cell-shape changes necessary to form a multicellular organism require cell-cell junctions to be both pliable and strong. The zonula occludens (ZO) subfamily of membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) are scaffolding molecules thought to regulate cell-cell adhesion [1-3], but there is little known about their roles in vivo. To elucidate the functional role of ZO proteins in a...
متن کاملPhosphoregulation of the C. elegans cadherin-catenin complex.
Adherens junctions play key roles in mediating cell-cell contacts during tissue development. In Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, the cadherin-catenin complex (CCC), composed of the classical cadherin HMR-1 and members of three catenin families, HMP-1, HMP-2 and JAC-1, is necessary for normal blastomere adhesion, gastrulation, ventral enclosure of the epidermis and embryo elongation. Disruption o...
متن کاملProtocadherin-19 and N-cadherin interact to control cell movements during anterior neurulation
The protocadherins comprise the largest subgroup within the cadherin superfamily, yet their cellular and developmental functions are not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that pcdh 19 (protocadherin 19) acts synergistically with n-cadherin (ncad) during anterior neurulation in zebrafish. In addition, Pcdh 19 and Ncad interact directly, forming a protein-protein complex both in vitr...
متن کاملCadherin complexity: recent insights into cadherin superfamily function in C. elegans.
Cadherin superfamily proteins mediate cell-cell adhesion during development. The C. elegans embryo is a powerful system for analyzing how cadherins function in highly stereotyped morphogenetic events. In the embryo, the classical cadherin HMR-1 acts along with the Rac pathway and SAX-7/L1CAM during gastrulation. As adherens junctions mature, PAR complex proteins differentially regulate cadherin...
