Neurobiology: Reelin Mediates Form and Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reelin choreographs neuronal migration to establish laminar structures during brain formation. A recent paper uncovers a new function for Reelin signaling in specifying dendritic compartmentalization. Reelin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation is responsible for enrichment of ion channels in dendritic tufts.

Go or stop? Divergent roles of Reelin in radial neuronal migration.
Neuronal migration is an essential step of brain development and is controlled by a variety of cellular proteins and extracellular matrix molecules. Reelin, an extracellular matrix protein, is required for neuronal migration. Over the past 10 years, the Reelin signaling cascade has been studied intensively. However, the role of Reelin in neuronal migration has remained unclear. Different Reelin...

Reelin is an extracellular matrix neuroprotein which plays important roles during development and maturation of cerebellum. In the postnatal cerebellum, Reelin is synthesized by cerebellar granule cells and secreted to extracellular matrix. This secreted protein modulates adult synaptic function, neurotransmitter release and regulates plasticity. Exercise has beneficial effects on central nervo...
متن کاملReelin molecules assemble together to form a large protein complex, which is inhibited by the function-blocking CR-50 antibody.
Reelin is a key mediator of ordered neuronal alignment in the brain. Here, we demonstrate that Reelin molecules assemble with each other to form a huge protein complex both in vitro and in vivo. The Reelin-Reelin interaction clearly is inhibited by the function-blocking anti-Reelin antibody, CR-50, at a concentration known to inhibit Reelin function. This assembly is mediated by electrostatic i...

Reelin regulates nervous system development and modulates synaptic plasticity in the adult brain. Several findings suggest that alterations in Reelin signaling may contribute to neuronal dysfunction associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Cell surface receptors for Reelin, including integrins and very-low-density lipoprotein receptor/apolipoprotein E2 receptor, may be targets of amyloid(A ) p...
