Integrins: a role as cell signalling molecules.
Integrins form the major family of proteins that mediates cell-matrix interactions. As well as an adhesive function, it is increasingly apparent that integrins can transduce messages via classic signalling pathways and impact upon such fundamental cellular processes as proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and motility. Dysregulation of these processes are a feature of many malignancies. A...
متن کاملThe role of neuropilins in cell signalling.
NRPs (neuropilins) are receptors for class 3 semaphorins, polypeptides essential for axonal guidance, and for members of the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) family of angiogenic cytokines. While mutant mouse studies show that NRP1 is essential for neuronal and cardiovascular development, little is known concerning the molecular mechanisms through which NRPs mediate the functions of th...
متن کاملThe Role of Carbohydrates in the Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) Signalling
The interactions between sugar-containing molecules from the bacteria cell wall and pattern recognition receptors (PRR) on the plasma membrane or cytosol of specialized host cells are the first molecular events required for the activation of higher animal's immune response and inflammation. This review focuses on the role of carbohydrates of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS, lipooli...
متن کاملRole of laminin receptor in tumor cell migration.
Polyclonal antisera were made against biochemically purified laminin receptor protein as well as against synthetic peptides deduced from a complementary DNA clone corresponding to the COOH-terminal end of the laminin receptor (U.M. Wewer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83: 7137-7141, 1986). These antisera were used to study the potential role of laminin receptor in laminin-mediated attachme...
متن کاملLymphocyte signalling: A coordinating role for Vav?
Vav1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that selectively activates the Rac1 GTPase and is expressed specifically in haematopoietic cells. Recent work has revealed how Vav1 integrates signals from lymphocyte antigen receptors and costimulatory receptors to control immune function.
