Cell–cell communication: Receptor function at the junction
The induction of the vulva of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is today recognized as one of the premier systems for studying receptor tyrosine kinase function. More than 40 genes have been identified that modulate intercellular signaling during vulval induction, most have been sequenced, and it is clear that the modus operandi of this signal transduction pathway is highly similar to that of...
متن کاملDislocations at the cervicothoracic junction.
Dislocations of the cervicothoracic junction are frequently missed. Experience of this rare injury over 27 years at the Spinal Injuries Unit in Sheffield confirms that nearly two-thirds were not properly diagnosed on admission. Only two of the 14 dislocations studied were reduced by conservative methods and these were both associated with fractures of the posterior bony elements. Open reduction...
متن کاملHeterocellular contact at the myoendothelial junction influences gap junction organization.
Heterocellular communication between vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and endothelial cells (EC) at the myoendothelial junction (MEJ) is a critical part of control of the arteriolar wall. We have developed an in vitro model of the MEJ composed of primary cultures of murine EC and VSMC. Immunoctytochemistry and immunoblots demonstrated Cx37 and Cx43 in both cell types, whereas Cx40 was found ...
متن کاملThe Function of Cortactin in the Clustering of Acetylcholine Receptors at the Vertebrate Neuromuscular Junction
BACKGROUND Postsynaptic enrichment of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) depends on the activation of the muscle receptor tyrosine MuSK by neural agrin. Agrin-stimulation of MuSK is known to initiate an intracellular signaling cascade that leads to the clustering of AChRs in an actin polymerization-dependent manner, but the molecular steps which link ...
متن کاملPhysiology and function of the tight junction.
Understanding of tight junctions has evolved from their historical perception as inert solute barriers to recognition of their physiological and biochemical complexity. Many proteins are specifically localized to tight junctions, including cytoplasmic actin-binding proteins and adhesive transmembrane proteins. Among the latter are claudins, which are critical barrier proteins. Current informati...
