Key Regulators in Neuronal Polarity
Neurons are highly polarized cells, most of which develop a single axon and several dendrites. These two compartments acquire specific characteristics that enable neurons to transmit intercellular signals from several dendrites to an axon. A wealth of recent studies has shown that PI 3-kinase, Rho family GTPases, the Par complex, and cytoskeleton-related proteins participate in the initial even...
متن کاملRIM3γ and RIM4γ are key regulators of neuronal arborization.
The large isoforms of the Rab3 interacting molecule (RIM) family, RIM1α/β and RIM2α/β, have been shown to be centrally involved in mediating presynaptic active zone function. The RIM protein family contains two additional small isoforms, RIM3γ and RIM4γ, which are composed only of the RIM-specific C-terminal C2B domain and varying N-terminal sequences and whose function remains to be elucidated...
متن کاملNeuronal polarity.
The assembly of functional neuronal networks in the developing animal relies on the polarization of neurons, i.e., the formation of a single axon and multiple dendrites. Breaking the symmetry of neurons depends on cytoskeletal rearrangements. In particular, axon specification requires local dynamic instability of actin and stabilization of microtubules. The polarized cytoskeleton also provides ...
متن کاملNeuronal polarity in 2011.
Neurons appear to be the most highly polarized cell type in our bodies, often exhibiting a very long axon and highly branched dendrites. How neurons establish and maintain their morphological polarity has fascinated neuroscientists from the time of Cajal, but only recently have we begun to understand the molecular mechanisms that establish and maintain neuro-nal polarity, including both cell-ex...
متن کاملSeven in Absentia E3 Ubiquitin Ligases: Central Regulators of Neural Cell Fate and Neuronal Polarity
During neural development, neural precursors transition from a proliferative state within their germinal niches to a migratory state as they relocate to their final laminar positions. Transitions across these states are coupled with dynamic alterations in cellular polarity. This key feature can be seen throughout the developing vertebrate brain, in which neural stem cells give rise to multipola...
