Cell–cell communication: Receptor function at the junction
The induction of the vulva of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is today recognized as one of the premier systems for studying receptor tyrosine kinase function. More than 40 genes have been identified that modulate intercellular signaling during vulval induction, most have been sequenced, and it is clear that the modus operandi of this signal transduction pathway is highly similar to that of...
متن کاملThe Gap Junction Communication Channel
Communication plays an important role in the rapid Connexin Structure progress of modern society. We live in an age when Gap junctions exhibit a hierarchy of assembly. The prininformation is transmitted through many different pathcipal structural component, the membrane protein conways and in many different forms to influence our daily nexin, is organized into the basic unit of structure, the d...
متن کاملLola regulates glutamate receptor expression at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction
Communication between pre- and post-synaptic cells is a key process in the development and modulation of synapses. Reciprocal induction between pre- and postsynaptic cells involves regulation of gene transcription, yet the underlying genetic program remains largely unknown. To investigate how innervation-dependent gene expression in postsynaptic cells supports synaptic differentiation, we perfo...
متن کاملActivity-dependent neurotransmitter-receptor matching at the neuromuscular junction.
Signaling in the nervous system requires matching of neurotransmitter receptors with cognate neurotransmitters at synapses. The vertebrate neuromuscular junction is the best studied cholinergic synapse, but the mechanisms by which acetylcholine is matched with acetylcholine receptors are not fully understood. Because alterations in neuronal calcium spike activity alter transmitter specification...
متن کاملLocalized expression of an Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor at the myoendothelial junction selectively regulates heterocellular Ca2+ communication.
Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] originating in the vascular smooth-muscle cells (VSMCs) has been shown to modulate the Ca(2+) stores in endothelial cells (ECs). However, the reverse is not found, suggesting that Ins(1,4,5)P(3) movement might be unidirectional across gap junctions at the myoendothelial junction (MEJ), or that distribution of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor [Ins(1,4,5...
