WAVE1 is required for oligodendrocyte morphogenesis and normal CNS myelination.
Myelin formation involves the outgrowth of an oligodendrocyte cell process that can be regarded as a giant lamellipodium because it is an actively growing structure with extruded cytoplasm. The actin cytoskeleton is critical to morphogenesis, but little is known about regulation of actin dynamics in oligodendrocytes. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family verprolin homologous (WAVE) proteins m...
متن کاملTalin Autoinhibition Is Required for Morphogenesis
The establishment of a multicellular body plan requires coordinating changes in cell adhesion and the cytoskeleton to ensure proper cell shape and position within a tissue. Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) via integrins plays diverse, essential roles during animal embryogenesis and therefore must be precisely regulated. Talin, a FERM-domain containing protein, forms a direct link...
متن کاملTBX1 is required for inner ear morphogenesis.
TBX1 is thought to be a critical gene in the pathogenesis of del22q11/DiGeorge syndrome (DGS). Morphological abnormalities of the external ear and hearing impairment (conductive or sensorineural) affect the majority of patients. Here we show that homozygous mutation of the mouse homolog Tbx1 is associated with severe inner ear defects that prevent the formation of the cochlea and of the vestibu...
متن کاملLaminin is required for Schwann cell morphogenesis.
Development of the peripheral nervous system requires radial axonal sorting by Schwann cells (SCs). To accomplish sorting, SCs must both proliferate and undergo morphogenetic changes such as process extension. Signaling studies reveal pathways that control either proliferation or morphogenesis, and laminin is essential for SC proliferation. However, it is not clear whether laminin is also requi...
متن کاملbeta8 integrins are required for vascular morphogenesis in mouse embryos.
In order to assess the in vivo function of integrins containing the beta8 subunit, we have generated integrin beta8-deficient mice. Ablation of beta8 results in embryonic or perinatal lethality with profound defects in vascular development. Sixty-five percent of integrin beta8-deficient embryos die at midgestation, with evidence of insufficient vascularization of the placenta and yolk sac. The ...
