Several extracellular domains of the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 are involved in neurite outgrowth and cell body adhesion.
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 is a multidomain protein that plays important roles in cell adhesion, migration, and neurite outgrowth. To analyze structure-function relationships of L1 in neurite outgrowth and cell body adhesion, we have expressed and purified a set of different fragments of the extracellular part of this glycoprotein in CHO cells and in Escherichia coli. When neurite out...
متن کاملDifferent extracellular domains of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N- CAM) are involved in different functions
The neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) engages in diverse functional roles in neural cell interactions. Its extracellular part consists of five Ig-like domains and two fibronectin type III homologous (type III) repeats. To investigate the functional properties of the different structural domains of the molecule in cell interactions and signal transduction to the cell interior, we have synthe...
متن کاملThe neural cell adhesion molecules L1 and NCAM-180 act in different steps of neurite outgrowth.
The formation of neurocircuitry depends on the control of neurite outgrowth that, in turn, can be divided into two processes: nerve growth cone protrusion and neurite extension. It has long been known that the neural cell adhesion molecules L1 and NCAM-180 promote neurite outgrowth, but how they function in growth cones is unclear. We addressed the roles of L1 and NCAM-180 in neurite outgrowth ...
متن کاملConcerted action of tenascin-C domains in cell adhesion, anti-adhesion and promotion of neurite outgrowth.
We used a new approach to identify domains of chicken tenascin-C required for interaction with cells. Instead of expressing the parts of interest, we deleted them from an otherwise intact tenascin-C molecule and scored for the concomitant change in activity. As a starting point for all mutant constructs we expressed the smallest naturally occurring tenascin-C splice variant in vertebrate cells....
متن کاملGanglioside modulation of neural cell adhesion molecule and N-cadherin- dependent neurite outgrowth
We have used monolayers of control 3T3 cells and 3T3 cells expressing transfected human neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) or chick N-cadherin as a culture substrate for PC12 cells. NCAM and N-cadherin in the monolayer directly promote neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells via a G-protein-dependent activation of neuronal calcium channels. In the present study we show that ganglioside GM1 does not...
