Calsyntenins function as synaptogenic adhesion molecules in concert with neurexins.
Multiple synaptic adhesion molecules govern synapse formation. Here, we propose calsyntenin-3/alcadein-β as a synapse organizer that specifically induces presynaptic differentiation in heterologous synapse-formation assays. Calsyntenin-3 (CST-3) is highly expressed during various postnatal periods of mouse brain development. The simultaneous knockdown of all three CSTs, but not CST-3 alone, dec...
متن کاملWhy we need more synaptogenic cell-adhesion proteins.
The mammalian brain is arguably the most complex organ that evolution has brought forward. In the human brain, for example, about 10 neurons are connected via some 10 synapses to form multiple specifically connected neural networks, the interplay of which controls all body functions. Synapses, the key signaling units in the brain, represent yet another level of substantial complexity; they are ...
متن کاملCellular signalling mechanisms of neural cell adhesion molecules.
Neural cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily are multidomain proteins involved in important cellular events pertinent to development and adult neurological function. This review attempts to give a concise overview of the complex intracellular signaling pathways enabling neural cell adhesion molecules NCAM and L1 to regulate axon growth, guidance, and synaptic plasticity. Rec...
متن کاملT lymphocyte trafficking: molecules and mechanisms.
Coordinated migratory events are required for the development of effective and regulated immunity. Naïve T lymphocytes are programmed to recirculate predominantly in secondary lymphoid tissue by non-specific stimuli. In contrast, primed T cells must identify specific sites of antigen location in non-lymphoid tissue to exert targeted effector responses. Following priming, T cells acquire the abi...
متن کاملCD44 cell adhesion molecules.
The CD44 proteins form a ubiquitously expressed family of cell surface adhesion molecules involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The multiple protein isoforms are encoded by a single gene by alternative splicing and are further modified by a range of post-translational modifications. CD44 proteins are single chain molecules comprising an N-terminal extracellular domain, a membrane ...
