Polarity-regulating kinase partitioning-defective 1/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 negatively regulates development of dendrites on hippocampal neurons.
Neurons are highly polarized cells that possess two morphologically and functionally different types of protrusions, axons and dendrites, that function in the transmission and reception of neural signals, respectively. A great deal of attention has been paid to the specification and guidance of axons, but the mechanism of dendrite development remains mostly unknown. We report here that a polari...
متن کاملThe serine/threonine kinase Par1b regulates epithelial lumen polarity via IRSp53-mediated cell–ECM signaling
The serine/threonine kinase Par1b promotes cell-cell adhesion and determines the polarity of the luminal domain in epithelial cells. In this study, we demonstrate that Par1b also regulates cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling in kidney-derived Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and identified the rho-guanosine triphosphatase adaptor and scaffolding protein IRSp53 as a Par1b substrate i...
متن کاملEffects of T208E activating mutation on MARK2 protein structure and dynamics: Modeling and simulation
Microtubule Affinity-Regulating Kinase 2 (MARK2) protein has a substantial role in regulation of vital cellular processes like induction of polarity, regulation of cell junctions, cytoskeleton structure and cell differentiation. The abnormal function of this protein has been associated with a number of pathological conditions like Alzheimer disease, autism, several carcinomas and development of...
متن کاملLigation of the cell surface receptor, CD46, alters T cell polarity and response to antigen presentation.
Lymphocyte function in vivo is dictated by multiple external cues, but the integration of different signals is not well understood. Here, we show that competition for the axis of polarization dictates functional outcomes. We investigated the effect of ligation of the immunoregulatory cell surface receptor, CD46, on lymphocyte polarity during antigen presentation and cytotoxic effector function....
متن کاملMammalian PAR-1 determines epithelial lumen polarity by organizing the microtubule cytoskeleton
Epithelial differentiation involves the generation of luminal surfaces and of a noncentrosomal microtubule (MT) network aligned along the polarity axis. Columnar epithelia (e.g., kidney, intestine, and Madin-Darby canine kidney [MDCK] cells) generate apical lumina and orient MT vertically, whereas liver epithelial cells (hepatocytes and WIFB9 cells) generate lumina at cell-cell contact sites (b...
