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 کاملPhosphoinositides as Key Regulators of Synaptic Function
Phosphoinositides have recently emerged as key regulators of a variety of synaptic processes, including neurosecretory vesicle targeting, exo-endocytosis, and ion channel modulation. These pleiotropic activities derive from their ability to serve either as membrane targeting sites for cytosolic factors, as allosteric ligands, or as nucleation points for coat proteins and cytoskeletal elements. ...
متن کاملIdentifying Key Regulators in Gene Regulatory Networks
Bioinformatics is an emerging discipline that uses information technology to organize, analyze, and distribute biological information in order to answer complex biological questions and uncover new biological insights. The complex assemblages of interconnected genes, proteins and other molecules are represented as gene regulatory networks. Within these networks are key regulators that are respo...
متن کاملHistone modifications as key regulators of transcription.
Covalent modifications of the amino-termini of the core histones in nucleosomes have been shown to be one of the key regulatory mechanisms in transcription regulation. Recently, new roles for histone modifications have been uncovered for the efficient functioning of RNA Pol II. Besides acetylation, which is the most characterized to date these modifications comprise phosphorylation, methylation...
متن کاملMicroRNAs: the Key Regulators of PRR Signaling
The innate immune system provides the first line of defence against infection. The main molecules involved in recognizing invading pathogens are the Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs). They invoke inflammatory responses to eliminate infection. To avoid excessive inflammation and to prevent tissue damage, signalling of these receptors needs to be under stringent control. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) hav...
