Sentences with word «adherens»

«The new protein plays a key role in the formation of adherens junctions of epithelial cells, and Listeria uses it for its own infectious process.»

One gene known to be important in maintaining apical - basal polarity and assisting in the formation of adherens junctions in the retina is Crumbs (Crb), which encodes a transmembrane protein containing a long extracellular domain and a short C - terminal cytoplasmic tail.

Their analysis highlights defects in adherens junctions and polarity in neural stem cells associated with haploinsufficiency of the cytoskeletal regulator CYFIP1.

Neogenin recruitment of the WAVE regulatory complex maintains adherens junction stability and tension.

Using colorfully labeled antibodies to light up the new protein under their microscopes, they found that it was present where Listeria entered cells and also present at adherens junctions between epithelial cells.

One avenue involves protein - based adherens junctions, which allow sperm to attach to specialized cells in the testes.

Biomedical researchers at the Population Council identified a compound that interferes with adherens junctions.

They knew that a molecule called VE - PTP, was important in stabilizing adherens junctions.

Functional perilipins (PLIN proteins encoded by the PLIN genes)(Lu et al., 2001) have been identified in very diverse organisms such as Drosophila (Teixeira et al., 2003), Dictyostelium (Du et al., 2013) and fungi (Wang & St Leger, 2007) and protein databases list clear orthologues in diverse, non-plant eukaryota, including the simplest metazoan Trichoplax adherens, sponges, crustaceans, and choanoflagelates (UniProt proteins B3RRM2, I1GA14, G5DCP6, F2UJD9, respectively).

Müller cell apical processes appear to be lost in regions lacking adherens junctions in these mice, as demonstrated by absent or reduced CD44 labeling and by electron microscopy.

Rehman and his colleagues study mechanisms that regulate cell - to - cell contacts called adherens junctions.

Meanwhile, another group of French researchers identified the same protein, ARHGAP10, as a partner with two other molecules — Arf1 and Arf6 — involved in both actin dynamics deep within the cell and the turnover of adherens junctions.

This figure shows a schematic representation of E-cadherin and interactome proteins at an adherens junction.

As lungs begin to fill with fluid, the blood becomes under - oxygenated, and the cells lining the blood vessels react by tightening the adherens junctions.

Central to adherens junctions is a protein known as E-cadherin, or epithelial cadherin.

Structural components of adherens junctions, cytoskeleton (F - actin) and homophilic bonds (E-cadherin) are quickly renewed at steady - state.

Akin to human RPE, the cells were highly polarized with basal nuclei, apical microvilli and adherens junctions (Fig. 2C and 2D).

The other cellular junctions are called Gap junctions, adherens junctions and desmosome junctions.
