The neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM enhances L1-dependent cell-cell interactions
On neural cells, the cell adhesion molecule L1 is generally found coexpressed with N-CAM. The two molecules have been suggested, but not directly shown, to affect each other's function. To investigate the possible functional relationship between the two molecules, we have characterized the adhesive interactions between the purified molecules and between cultured cells expressing them. Latex bea...
متن کاملThe ubiquitous neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM)
Adhesive interactions are important for cell trafficking, differentiation, function and tissue differentiation. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions among neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and myotubes. It is widely but transiently expressed in many tissues early in embryogenesis. Four main isoforms exist but there are many ot...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte cell adhesion molecules are related to neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM).
The glycoproteins responsible for calcium-dependent oligodendrocyte aggregation were purified and characterized. Using detergent extraction, lentil-lectin-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and preparative gel electrophoresis, 3 proteins were purified to apparent homogeneity, with relative Mrs of 120,000, 140,000, and 180,000. The aggregation assay showed that all 3 proteins had the ability ...
متن کاملThe neural cell adhesion molecule L1 potentiates integrin-dependent cell migration to extracellular matrix proteins.
The L1 adhesion molecule regulates axon growth and is mutated in the X-linked mental retardation syndrome CRASH (acronym for corpus callosum agenesis, retardation, aphasia, spastic paraplegia, hydrocephalus). A novel role for L1 as a potentiator of neuronal cell migration to extracellular matrix proteins through beta1 integrins and intracellular signaling to mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kina...
متن کاملEpithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (Ep-CAM) Modulates Cell–Cell Interactions Mediated by Classic Cadherins
The contribution of noncadherin-type, Ca2+-independent cell-cell adhesion molecules to the organization of epithelial tissues is, as yet, unclear. A homophilic, epithelial Ca2+-independent adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM) is expressed in most epithelia, benign or malignant proliferative lesions, or during embryogenesis. Here we demonstrate that ectopic Ep-CAM, when expressed in cells interconnected b...
