Distinct domains of paracingulin are involved in its targeting to the actin cytoskeleton and regulation of apical junction assembly.
Paracingulin is an M(r) 150-160 kDa cytoplasmic protein of vertebrate epithelial tight and adherens junctions and comprises globular head, coiled-coil rod, and globular tail domains. Unlike its homologous tight junction protein cingulin, paracingulin has been implicated in the control of junction assembly and has been localized at extrajunctional sites in association with actin filaments. Here ...
متن کاملVessels With Cingulin Are Leakproof.
The endothelium, once thought of as a cellophane-like inner lining for blood vessels, is now known as a selective barrier between blood and the surrounding tissue. Endothelial cells (ECs) specialize their barrier function, as in brain ECs, where the blood–brain barrier protects neurons against toxins, or in liver ECs, where they are highly fenestrated for efficient filtering of the blood. Angio...
متن کاملTwo checkpoint complexes are independently recruited to sites of DNA damage in vivo.
The Ddc1/Rad17/Mec3 complex and Rad24 are DNA damage checkpoint components with limited homology to replication factors PCNA and RF-C, respectively, suggesting that these factors promote checkpoint activation by "sensing" DNA damage directly. Mec1 kinase, however, phosphorylates the checkpoint protein Ddc2 in response to damage in the absence of all other known checkpoint proteins, suggesting i...
متن کاملSynaptotagmin SYTA Forms ER-Plasma Membrane Junctions that Are Recruited to Plasmodesmata for Plant Virus Movement
Metazoan synaptotagmins are Ca(2+) sensors that regulate exocytosis and endocytosis in various cell types, notably in nerve and neuroendocrine cells [1, 2]. Recently, the structurally related extended synaptotagmins were shown to tether the cortical ER to the plasma membrane in human and yeast cells to maintain ER morphology and stabilize ER-plasma membrane (ER-PM) contact sites for intracellul...
متن کاملThe Photorhabdus Pir toxins are similar to a developmentally regulated insect protein but show no juvenile hormone esterase activity.
The genome of the insect pathogen Photorhabdus luminescens strain TT01 contains numerous genes predicting toxins and proteases. Within the P. luminescens TT01 genome, the products of two loci, plu 4093-plu 4092 and plu 4437-plu 4436, show oral insecticidal activity against both moth and mosquito larvae. The proteins encoded by these loci, here termed 'Photorhabdus insect related' (Pir) proteins...
