Differential targeting of closely related ECM glycoproteins: the pherophorin family from Volvox.
The alga Volvox carteri represents one of the simplest multicellular organisms. Its extracellular matrix (ECM) is modified under developmental control, e.g. under the influence of the sex-inducing pheromone that triggers development of males and females at a concentration below 10(-16) M. A novel ECM glycoprotein (pherophorin-S) synthesized in response to this pheromone was identified and chara...
متن کاملEvidence for autocatalytic cross-linking of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins during extracellular matrix assembly in Volvox.
The alga Volvox carteri is one of the simplest multicellular organisms, yet it has a surprisingly complex extracellular matrix (ECM), making Volvox suitable as a model system in which to study ECM self-assembly. Here, we analyze the primary structures and post-translational modifications of two main ECM components synthesized in response to sexual induction as well as wounding. These proteins a...
متن کاملThe tenascin family of ECM glycoproteins: structure, function, and regulation during embryonic development and tissue remodeling.
The determination of animal form depends on the coordination of events that lead to the morphological patterning of cells. This epigenetic view of development suggests that embryonic structures arise as a consequence of environmental influences acting on the properties of cells, rather than an unfolding of a completely genetically specified and preexisting invisible pattern. Specialized cells o...
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
15 صفحه اولThe developmentally regulated ECM glycoprotein ISG plays an essential role in organizing the ECM and orienting the cells of Volvox.
Volvox is one of the simplest multicellular organisms with only two cell types, yet it has a surprisingly complex extracellular matrix (ECM) containing many region-specific morphological components, making Volvox suitable as a model system for ECM investigations. ECM deposition begins shortly after inversion, which is the process by which the embryo turns itself right-side-out at the end of emb...
