چکیده
Fasciclin II (Fas II, the Drosophila homolog of the verteHoward Hughes Medical Institute brate immunoglobulin-related cell adhesion molecule, Center for Neurobiology and Behavior NCAM) is present on both the preand postsynaptic College of Physicians and Surgeons elements of the synapse, it is not required for initial, Columbia University activity-independent synapse formation. However, Fas New York, New York 10032 II is required later for synapse remodeling and for the sprouting of additional synaptic contacts, processes

Synaptic adhesion molecules
Synopsis The chemical synapse is a specialized asymmetric adhesion site between the axon of a neuron and its target cell. Synapse formation is a multi-step process involving target recognition followed by reciprocal inductive interactions that result in recruitment of proteins, such as receptors, and organelles, such as synaptic vesicles, to both the presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments. S...
متن کاملP27: KCNK2 and Adhesion Molecules in an in-Vitro Blood Brain Barrier Model
Two-pore domain potassium channels, like KCNK2, are known to play an important role in inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs) of Kcnk2-/- mice resulted in elevated leukocyte trafficking into the central nervous system under inflammatory conditions. The current project aims to gain...
متن کاملEffect of one Bout Continuous Versus Intermittent Aerobic Exercise on Plasma Levels of Intercellular Adhesion Molecules 1 and Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecules 1 in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease
Introduction: Adhesion molecules play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and the type of training may affect the response to these indicators. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of a continuous versus interval aerobic training session on plasma levels of intercellular adhesion molecules 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecules ...
متن کاملLong-term sensitization training in Aplysia leads to an increase in the expression of BiP, the major protein chaperon of the ER
Long-term memory for sensitization of the gill- and siphon-withdrawal reflexes in Aplysia californica requires RNA and protein synthesis. These long-term behavioral changes are accompanied by long-term facilitation of the synaptic connections between the gill and siphon sensory and motor neurons, which are similarly dependent on transcription and translation. In addition to showing an increase ...
متن کاملGENETICS | INVESTIGATION Directional Trans-Synaptic Labeling of Specific Neuronal Connections in Live Animals
Understanding animal behavior and development requires visualization and analysis of their synaptic connectivity, but existing methods are laborious or may not depend on trans-synaptic interactions. Here we describe a transgenic approach for in vivo labeling of specific connections in Caenorhabditis elegans, which we term iBLINC. The method is based on BLINC (Biotin Labeling of INtercellular Co...
