Cell Polarity: Lateral Perspectives
The outer and inner (lateral) plasma membranes of the outermost cell layer in plants provide selective barriers to the environment. Recent studies provide perspectives on how asymmetric protein localization is established at lateral membranes.
متن کاملNew perspectives on mechanisms involved in generating epithelial cell polarity.
Polarized epithelial cells form barriers that separate biological compartments and regulate homeostasis by controlling ion and solute transport between those compartments. Receptors, ion transporters and channels, signal transduction proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins are organized into functionally and structurally distinct domains of the cell surface, termed apical and basolateral, that face...
متن کاملCell polarity: Fixing cell polarity with Pins
A protein complex is assembled in a step-wise manner at the apical pole of Drosophila neuroblasts. This complex organizes the apical-basal polarity of asymmetrically dividing neuroblasts, and may act via G-protein signalling.
متن کاملLateral Line: Precocious Phenotypes and Planar Polarity
Work on zebrafish mutants that develop supernumerary neuromasts in the lateral line has revealed an inhibitory mechanism, mediated by glial cells, that represses newly identified precursors of secondary neuromasts, ensuring successive waves of neuromast production occur on time. The alignment of hair cells in neuromasts corresponds to the timing of these waves.
متن کاملCell polarity
The Minisymposium on Cell Polarity featured a broad array of systems. The session began with talks on asymmetric cortical polarity cues. Lesilee Rose (University of California, Davis) discussed asym-metric division in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the one-cell embryo, PAR polarity proteins regulate cytoplasmic polarity and cortical forces that position the spindle. The latter require the DEP domai...
