Filamins in cell signaling, transcription and organ development.
Filamins are large actin-binding proteins that stabilize delicate three-dimensional actin filament networks and link them to cellular membranes where they integrate cell architectural and signaling functions important for cell locomotion. Filamins have been shown to bind to proteins with diverse functions and are implicated in human genetic diseases including malformations of the skeleton, brai...
متن کاملCell–cell signaling in blood vessel development and function
The blood vasculature is an organ pervading all other organs (almost). During vascular development, cell-cell signaling by extracellular ligands and cell surface receptors ensure that new vessels sprout into non-vascularized regions and simultaneously acquire organ-specific specializations and adaptations that match the local physiological needs. The vessels thereby specialize in their permeabi...
متن کاملCiliopathies: Primary Cilia and Signaling Pathways in Mammalian Development
1.1 Ciliopathies, an emerging class of human genetic diseases The physiological role of motile cilia or flagella in cell locomotion, sexual reproduction and fluid movements is well known. In 1898, the Swiss anatomist KW Zimmerman first described cilia on the surface of mammalian cells, for which he suggested a sensory role. His findings were largely ignored until the late 1960s, when Wheatley, ...
متن کاملNovel Insights into the Development and Function of Cilia Using the Advantages of the Paramecium Cell and Its Many Cilia
Paramecium species, especially P. tetraurelia and caudatum, are model organisms for modern research into the form and function of cilia. In this review, we focus on the ciliary ion channels and other transmembrane proteins that control the beat frequency and wave form of the cilium by controlling the signaling within the cilium. We put these discussions in the context of the advantages that Par...
متن کاملCilia signaling
Cilia signaling I t takes well-built cilia to send developmental signals on their way, show Tamara Caspary, Kathryn Anderson (Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York, NY), and Christine Larkins (Emory University, Atlanta, GA). Cilia that lack the correct internal architecture fail to transduce Hedgehog (Hh) signals correctly. Hh signaling is particularly well-characterized in the developing nervous...
