Isolation of cDNA clones for the chicken neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM).
Enriched mRNA coding for the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) was prepared from 9-day embryonic chicken brains by immunoprecipitation of polysomes with antibodies to N-CAM. This mRNA programmed the translation in vitro of N-CAM polypeptide chains in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. Two independent N-CAM cDNA clones (designated pEC001 and pEC020) were derived from the enriched RNA. The ...
متن کاملThe ubiquitous neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM)
Adhesive interactions are important for cell trafficking, differentiation, function and tissue differentiation. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions among neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and myotubes. It is widely but transiently expressed in many tissues early in embryogenesis. Four main isoforms exist but there are many ot...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced mRNAs code for different polypeptide chains of the chicken neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM)
Rabbit polyclonal antibodies directed against the chicken neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) were used to isolate four overlapping cDNA clones from a chicken cDNA expression library in bacteriophage gamma gt11. These clones collectively accounted for 3.8 kilobases of N-CAM mRNA sequence and hybridized specifically to two 6-7-kilobase brain polyadenylated RNA species that co-migrated with pre...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte cell adhesion molecules are related to neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM).
The glycoproteins responsible for calcium-dependent oligodendrocyte aggregation were purified and characterized. Using detergent extraction, lentil-lectin-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and preparative gel electrophoresis, 3 proteins were purified to apparent homogeneity, with relative Mrs of 120,000, 140,000, and 180,000. The aggregation assay showed that all 3 proteins had the ability ...
متن کاملThe neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM enhances L1-dependent cell-cell interactions
On neural cells, the cell adhesion molecule L1 is generally found coexpressed with N-CAM. The two molecules have been suggested, but not directly shown, to affect each other's function. To investigate the possible functional relationship between the two molecules, we have characterized the adhesive interactions between the purified molecules and between cultured cells expressing them. Latex bea...
