Scaffold proteins as dynamic switches.
often assembled into their supramolecular complexes and targeted to specific regions of cells by multimodular scaffold proteins. The success of this organization and localization is critical for signaling efficiency and specificity. The catalytically inactive scaffold proteins that perform these tasks are traditionally viewed as passive molecules that " glue " signaling proteins together. Howev...
متن کاملFilamin B: a scaffold for interferon signalling.
When cells become infected with a virus, they mount a coord inated antiviral response, a key component of which is the production of interferons (IFNs). This family of cytokines is present only in vertebrates , and mediates its antiviral effects both directly on infected cells and indirectly by activating other important effectors of the innate immune response, including natural killer cells, d...
متن کاملThe role of scaffold proteins in MEK/ERK signalling.
Signal transduction networks allow cells to recognize and respond to changes in the extracellular environment. All eukaryotic cells have MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathways that participate in diverse cellular functions, including differentiation, survival, transformation and movement. Five distinct groups of MAPKs have been characterized in mammals, the most extensively studied of...
متن کاملLRRK2 functions as a Wnt signaling scaffold, bridging cytosolic proteins and membrane-localized LRP6
Mutations in PARK8, encoding leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), are a frequent cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). Nonetheless, the physiological role of LRRK2 remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that LRRK2 participates in canonical Wnt signaling as a scaffold. LRRK2 interacts with key Wnt signaling proteins of the β-catenin destruction complex and dishevelled proteins in vivo and is recrui...
متن کاملA PDZ-containing Scaffold Related to the Dystrophin Complex at the Basolateral Membrane of Epithelial Cells
Membrane scaffolding complexes are key features of many cell types, serving as specialized links between the extracellular matrix and the actin cytoskeleton. An important scaffold in skeletal muscle is the dystrophin-associated protein complex. One of the proteins bound directly to dystrophin is syntrophin, a modular protein comprised entirely of interaction motifs, including PDZ (protein domai...
