Mechanisms of B cell Synapse Formation Predicted by Stochastic Simulation
The clustering of B cell receptor (BCR) molecules and the formation of the protein segregation structure known as the “immunological synapse” appears to precede antigen (Ag) uptake by B cells. The mature B cell synapse is characterized by a central cluster of BCR/Ag molecular complexes surrounded by a ring of LFA-1/ICAM-1 complexes. Recent experimental evidence shows receptor clustering in B ce...
متن کاملNRP1 and synapse formation
Perception and behavior are critically dependent on synaptic communication between specific neuronal types. Understanding how neurons achieve such a “synaptic specificity” is therefore one of the most fundamental issues in developmental neuroscience. The final lock between the preand post-synaptic elements is the culmination of a multiple-step program that includes cell migration, cell differen...
متن کاملSelected SALM (synaptic adhesion-like molecule) family proteins regulate synapse formation.
Synaptic cell adhesion molecules regulate various steps of synapse formation. Despite the great diversity of neuronal synapses, relatively few adhesion molecules with synaptogenic activity have been identified. Synaptic adhesion-like molecules (SALMs) are members of a family of cell adhesion molecules known to regulate neurite outgrowth and synapse maturation; however, the role of SALMs in syna...
متن کاملNonneuronal cells regulate synapse formation in the vestibular sensory epithelium via erbB-dependent BDNF expression.
Recent studies indicate that molecules released by glia can induce synapse formation. However, what induces glia to produce such signals, their identity, and their in vivo relevance remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that supporting cells of the vestibular organ--cells that have many characteristics of glia--promote synapse formation only when induced by neuron-derived signals. Furth...
