Multiple roles of integrin-α3 at the neuromuscular junction.
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the synapse between motoneurons and skeletal muscle, and is responsible for eliciting muscle contraction. Neurotransmission at synapses depends on the release of synaptic vesicles at sites called active zones (AZs). Various proteins of the extracellular matrix are crucial for NMJ development; however, little is known about the identity and functions of the re...
متن کاملEmerging medicinal roles for lysophospholipid signaling.
The two lysophospholipids (LPs) lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) regulate diverse biological processes. Over the past decade, it has become clear that medically relevant LP activities are mediated by specific G protein-coupled receptors, implicating them in the etiology of a growing number of disorders. A new class of LP agonists shows promise for drug therapy: the experi...
متن کاملDistinct roles for dystroglycan, beta1 integrin and perlecan in cell surface laminin organization.
Dystroglycan (DG) is a cell surface receptor for several extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules including laminins, agrin and perlecan. Recent data indicate that DG function is required for the formation of basement membranes in early development and the organization of laminin on the cell surface. Here we show that DG-mediated laminin clustering on mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells is a dynamic pr...
متن کاملEmerging Roles of ADAP, SKAP55, and SKAP-HOM for Integrin and NF-κB Signaling in T cells
Adapter proteins are scaffolding proteins that lack enzymatic or transcriptional activity. They play a crucial role in the organization of signalosomes, which are molecular complexes involved in signal transduction. Here, we review some of the recent findings regarding the three cytosolic adapter proteins ADAP, SKAP55, and SKAP-HOM with respect to their role in T-cell adhesion, migration and pr...
متن کاملMembrane tension drives ligand-independent integrin signaling.
Integrins anchor cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and control a multitude of essential cellular functions by activating a variety of signaling pathways. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, a study conducted by Ferraris and colleagues report that binding of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) to vitronectin is sufficient to trigger ligand-independent b1 and b3 integrin sig...
