A neuronal form of the cell adhesion molecule L1 contains a tyrosine-based signal required for sorting to the axonal growth cone.
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1, which is present on axons and growth cones, plays a crucial role in the formation of major axonal tracts such as the corticospinal tract and corpus callosum. L1 is preferentially transported to axons and inserted in the growth cone membrane. However, how L1 is sorted to axons remains unclear. Tyr1176 in the L1 cytoplasmic domain is adjacent to a neuron-spec...
متن کاملHuman fetal skeletal muscle contains a myogenic side population that expresses the melanoma cell-adhesion molecule.
Muscle side population (SP) cells are rare myogenic progenitors distinct from satellite cells, the known tissue-specific stem cells of skeletal muscle. Studies in mice demonstrated that muscle SP cells give rise to satellite cells in vivo. Given that muscle SP cells are heterogeneous, it has been difficult to prospectively enrich for myogenic progenitors within the SP fraction, particularly fro...
متن کاملReceptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase α enhances cell surface expression of neural adhesion molecule NB-3.
Neural adhesion molecule NB-3 plays an important role in the apical dendrite development of layer V pyramidal neurons in the visual cortex, and receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase α (PTPα) mediates NB-3 signaling in this process. Here we investigated the role of PTPα in regulating cell surface expression of NB-3. We found that cortical neurons from PTPα knock-out mice exhibited a lower l...
متن کاملcyclic amp pathway modifies memory through neural cell adhesion molecule alterations in the rat hippocampus.
neural cell adhesion molecules (ncams) are known to influence memory by affecting neural cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix junctions. this study investigated the possible role of camp pathway in the expression of hippocampal ncam and its polysialylated derivative (psa-ncam). the following pharmacological tools were employed for manipulation of camp pathway: a) forskolin; the activator of ...
متن کاملBinding properties of a cell adhesion molecule from neural tissue.
We have previously identified and purified a cell surface glycoprotein from retina and brain, called neural cell adhesion molecule or N-CAM, that appears to be involved in neural cell--cell adhesion, the fasciculation of neurites, and the formation of normal tissue patterns in the retina. The present studies reveal that artificial vesicles containing lipid and purified N-CAM bind to different c...
