Another Job for the Talented p120-Catenin
Given the complexity of signaling pathways in the cell, it is a mystery how these pathways communicate with one other. In this issue of Cell, Wildenberg et al. (2006) reveal that the key effector molecule p120-catenin can mediate crosstalk between the Rac and Rho signaling pathways.
متن کاملRenal Angiomyxolipoma: Its First Appearance!☆
Angiomyxolipoma is considered a very rare subtype of lipoma, with the latter being the most common type of mesenchymal neoplasm. Only 17 cases have been described in English medical literature. Angiomyxolipomas have been described in many locations, mostly in the subcutaneous tissue. In this report, we present the first case of renal angiomyxolipoma ever encountered. Diagnosis was made after ma...
متن کاملDownregulation of β-catenin by human Axin and its association with the APC tumor suppressor, β-catenin and GSK3β
Background: Inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor protein is responsible for both inherited and sporadic forms of colon cancer. Growth control by APC may relate to its ability to downregulate β-catenin post-translationally. In cancer, mutations in APC ablate its ability to regulate β-catenin, and mutations in β-catenin prevent its downregulation by wild-type APC....
متن کاملAdhesion signaling: How β-catenin interacts with its partners
A central player in a number of important but distinct cellular processes, β-catenin is a member of the so-called ‘armadillo repeat’ family of proteins (the name for which derives from that of the Drosophila homolog of β-catenin, the product of the segmentation gene armadillo). Through its central armadillo repeat region, β-catenin forms mutually exclusive complexes with cadherin adhesion molec...

will break the barrier, making the TJ a frequent contributor to a vast range of pathologies of blood vessels and epithelial organs. Since most of these insults have pleotropic cellular effects, it is difficult to envision therapies that could target specific TJ components or functions. In contrast, some assaults on the barrier are quite specific. For example, house dust mites excrete a fecal pr...
