Impact of the polysialyltransferases ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV on polysialic acid synthesis during postnatal mouse brain development.
Polysialic acid (polySia), a post-translational modification of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), is the key regulator of NCAM-mediated functions and crucial for normal brain development, postnatal growth, and survival. Two polysialyltransferases, ST8SiaII and ST8SiaIV, mediate polySia biosynthesis. To dissect the impact of each enzyme during postnatal brain development, we monitored th...
متن کاملThe Role of Polysialic Acid in Migration of Olfactory Bulb Interneuron Precursors in the Subventricular Zone
Transplantation studies have been used to show that tangential migration of olfactory bulb interneuron precursors is retarded in NCAM-mutant mice, and that this defect reflects loss of NCAM polysialic acid (PSA). In contrast, radial migration of cells within the bulb did not require PSA. Reciprocal transplantations between wild-type and mutant mice have revealed that the mutation affects the in...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of polysialic acid synthesis in mouse directed by two polysialyltransferases, PST and STX.
Polysialic acid is a developmentally regulated carbohydrate attached to the neural cell adhesion molecule, N-CAM, and abundant in embryonic tissues. There is increasing evidence that polysialic acid reduces N-CAM adhesion, thereby promoting neurite outgrowth and cellular mobility. It has been shown that two enzymes, polysialyltransferase, PST, and sialyltransferase X, STX, form polysialic acid ...
متن کاملArginylation-Dependent Neural Crest Cell Migration Is Essential for Mouse Development
Coordinated cell migration during development is crucial for morphogenesis and largely relies on cells of the neural crest lineage that migrate over long distances to give rise to organs and tissues throughout the body. Recent studies of protein arginylation implicated this poorly understood posttranslational modification in the functioning of actin cytoskeleton and in cell migration in culture...
متن کاملPolysialic acid enhances the migration and invasion of human cytotrophoblasts.
Polysialic acid (polySia) is a large, cell-surface linear homopolymer composed of α2,8-linked sialic acid residues. Most extensively studied in the nervous system, this unique glycan modulates development by enhancing cell migration and regulating differentiation. PolySia also functions in developing and adult immune systems and is a signature of many cancers. In this study, we demonstrated tha...
