Homophilic Protocadherin Cell-Cell Interactions Promote Dendrite Complexity.
Growth of a properly complex dendrite arbor is a key step in neuronal differentiation and a prerequisite for neural circuit formation. Diverse cell surface molecules, such as the clustered protocadherins (Pcdhs), have long been proposed to regulate circuit formation through specific cell-cell interactions. Here, using transgenic and conditional knockout mice to manipulate γ-Pcdh repertoire in t...
متن کاملNeurotrimin mediates bifunctional effects on neurite outgrowth via homophilic and heterophilic interactions.
Neurotrimin (Ntm) together with the limbic system-associated membrane protein (LAMP) and the opioid-binding cell adhesion molecule (OBCAM) comprise the IgLON family of neural cell adhesion molecules. These glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are expressed in distinct neuronal systems. In the case of Ntm, its expression pattern suggests a role in the development of thalamocortic...
متن کاملThe contact site A glycoprotein mediates cell-cell adhesion by homophilic binding in Dictyostelium discoideum
Dictyostelium discoideum expresses a developmentally regulated cell surface glycoprotein of Mr 80,000 (gp80), which has been implicated in the formation of the EDTA-resistant contact sites A at the cell aggregation stage. To determine whether gp80 participates directly in cell binding and, if so, its mode of action, we conjugated purified gp80 to Covaspheres (Covalent Technology Corp., Ann Arbo...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus Fibronectin-Binding Protein A Mediates Cell-Cell Adhesion through Low-Affinity Homophilic Bonds
UNLABELLED Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic pathogen which is a leading cause of biofilm-associated infections on indwelling medical devices. The cell surface-located fibronectin-binding protein A (FnBPA) plays an important role in the accumulation phase of biofilm formation by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), but the underlying molecular interactions are not yet estab...
متن کاملStabilin-1 mediates phosphatidylserine-dependent clearance of cell corpses in alternatively activated macrophages.
Stabilin-1 is specifically expressed in alternatively activated macrophages. These macrophages participate in anti-inflammatory and healing processes, and display a high phagocytic capacity. In this study, we provide evidence that stabilin-1 is a membrane receptor that performs a crucial function in the clearance of cell corpses. Stabilin-1 is expressed on the cell surface of alternatively acti...
