The role of L1 in axon pathfinding and fasciculation.
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 has been found to play important roles in axon growth and fasciculation. Our main objective was to determine the role of L1 during the development of connections between thalamus and cortex. We find that thalamocortical and corticothalamic axons in mice lacking L1 are hyperfasciculated, a subset of thalamocortical axons make pathfinding errors and thalamocor...
متن کاملIsoform-specific phosphorylation-dependent regulation
18 Connexins (Cx) form gap junction channels made up of two connexons 19 (hemichannels) from adjacent cells. Unopposed hemichannels may open towards the extracellular 20 space upon stimulation by e.g. removal of divalent cations from the extracellular solution and allow 21 isoform-specific transmembrane flux of fluorescent dyes and physiologically relevant molecules, 22 such as ATP and ions. Cx...
متن کاملAxon tension regulates fasciculation/defasciculation through the control of axon shaft zippering
While axon fasciculation plays a key role in the development of neural networks, very little is known about its dynamics and the underlying biophysical mechanisms. In a model system composed of neurons grown ex vivo from explants of embryonic mouse olfactory epithelia, we observed that axons dynamically interact with each other through their shafts, leading to zippering and unzippering behavior...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases promote motor axon fasciculation in the Drosophila embryo.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large conserved family of extracellular proteases, a number of which are expressed during neuronal development and upregulated in nervous system diseases. Primarily on the basis of studies using pharmaceutical inhibitors, MMPs have been proposed to degrade the extracellular matrix to allow growth cone advance during development and hence play largely permi...
متن کاملPhosphorylation-Dependent Regulation of Ryanodine Receptors
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs), intracellular calcium release channels required for cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction, are macromolecular complexes that include kinases and phosphatases. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation plays a key role in regulating the function of many ion channels, including RyRs. However, the mechanism by which kinases and phosphatases are targeted to ion channels is not...
