Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor activates the receptor tyrosine kinase RET and promotes kidney morphogenesis.
The receptor tyrosine kinase RET functions during the development of the kidney and the enteric nervous system, yet no ligand has been identified to date. This report demonstrates that the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) activates RET, as measured by tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular catalytic domain. GDNF also binds RET with a dissociation constant of 8 nM, and 1...
متن کاملThe Effects of Progesterone on Glial Cell Line-derived Neurotrophic Factor Secretion from C6 Glioma Cells
Objective(s)Progesterone is a steroid hormone whose biology has been greatly studied within the confines of reproductive function. In recent years, the neuroprotective effects of progesterone have attracted growing interest. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), is a neurotrophic factor which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of distinct sets of central and p...
متن کاملRet-dependent and -independent mechanisms of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor signaling in neuronal cells.
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to signal through a multicomponent receptor complex consisting of the Ret receptor tyrosine kinase and a member of the GFRalpha family of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored receptors. In the current model of GDNF signaling, Ret delivers the intracellular signal but cannot bind ligand on its own, while GFRalphas bind ligand but...
متن کاملGlial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor-mediated RET signaling regulates spermatogonial stem cell fate.
Normal spermatogenesis is essential for reproduction and depends on proper spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) function. Genes and signaling pathways that regulate SSC function have not been well defined. We report that glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase/GFRA1 receptor complex is required for spermatogonial self-renewal in mice. GFRA1 and RET...
متن کاملEnhancement of tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation and activity by glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor.
Although glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) acts as a potent survival factor for dopaminergic neurons, it is not known whether GDNF can directly alter dopamine synthesis. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme for dopamine biosynthesis, and its activity is regulated by phosphorylation on three seryl residues: Ser-19, Ser-31, and Ser-40. Using a TH-expressing human...
