Axonal Transport: CDKs as Traffic Signals for Motor-ists along the Axon?
نویسنده
چکیده
A screen for axonal cargo mislocalization in Caenorhabditis elegans neurons implicates the cyclin-dependent kinases CDK-5 and PCT-1 and the cyclin CCY-1 in the regulation of the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein.

Relay of retrograde synaptogenic signals through axonal transport of BMP receptors.
Neuronal function depends on the retrograde relay of growth and survival signals from the synaptic terminal, where the neuron interacts with its targets, to the nucleus, where gene transcription is regulated. Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathway at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction results in nuclear accumulation of the phosphorylated form of the transcription f...
متن کاملRegulation of Polarized Protein Transport to Axons, Dendrites, and Sensory Cilia in Caeborhabditis Elegans Neurons
Three proteins implicated in apparently distinct aspects of axon differentiation are the microtubule-binding protein CRMP, which promotes axon specification, the kinesin UNC104/Kif1A, which directs axonal traffic, and ankyrinG, which prevents dendritic protein diffusion into axons. The relationships among these molecules are unknown. We show here that the C. elegans CRMP homolog UNC-33 and anky...
متن کاملEndocytosis and retrograde axonal traffic in motor neurons.
Spinal cord motor neurons control voluntary movement by relaying messages that arrive from upper brain centres to the innervated muscles. Despite the importance of motor neurons in human health and disease, the precise control of their membrane dynamics and its effect on motor neuron homoeostasis and survival are poorly understood. In particular, the molecular basis of the co-ordination of spec...
متن کاملOne axon, many kinesins: What's the logic?
A large number of membrane-bounded organelles, protein complexes, and mRNAs are transported along microtubules to different locations within the neuronal axon. Axonal transport in the anterograde direction is carried out by members of a superfamily of specialized motor proteins, the kinesins. All kinesins contain a conserved motor domain that hydrolyses ATP to generate movement along microtubul...
متن کاملDisrupting Fast Axonal Transport in Drosophila
Previous work has shown that mutation of the gene that encodes the microtubule motor subunit kinesin heavy chain (Khc) in Drosophila inhibits neuronal sodium channel activity, action potentials and neurotransmitter secretion. These physiological defects cause progressive distal paralysis in larvae. To identify the cellular defects that cause these phenotypes, larval nerves were studied by light...
