Extrinsic Regulators of Mrna Translation in Developing Brain: Story of Wnts
cells Article Extrinsic Regulators of mRNA Translation in Developing Brain: Story of WNTs Yongkyu Park * , Midori Lofton , Diana Li and Mladen-Roko Rasin * Department of Neuroscience and Cell Biology, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA; [email protected] (M.L.); [email protected] (D.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (Y.P.); [email protected] (M.-R.R.) Abstract: Extrinsic molecules such as morphogens can regulate timed mRNA translation events in developing neurons. In particular, Wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 3 (Wnt3), was shown to regulate the translation of Foxp2 mRNA encoding a Forkhead transcription factor P2 in the neocortex. However, the Wnt receptor that possibly mediates these translation events remains unknown. Here, we report Frizzled member 7 (Fzd7) as the Wnt3 receptor that lays downstream in Wnt3-regulated mRNA translation. Fzd7 proteins co-localize with Wnt3 ligands in developing neo- cortices. In addition, the Fzd7 proteins overlap in layer-speciﬁc neuronal subpopulations expressing different transcription factors, Foxp1 and Foxp2. When Fzd7 was silenced, we found decreased Foxp2 protein expression and increased Foxp1 protein expression, respectively. The Fzd7 silencing also dis- rupted the migration of neocortical glutamatergic neurons. In contrast, Fzd7 overexpression reversed the pattern of migratory defects and Foxp protein expression that we found in the Fzd7 silencing. We further discovered that Fzd7 is required for Wnt3-induced Foxp2 mRNA translation. Surprisingly, we also determined that the Fzd7 suppression of Foxp1 protein expression is not Wnt3 dependent. In conclusion, it is exhibited that the interaction between Wnt3 and Fzd7 regulates neuronal identity and the Fzd7 receptor functions as a downstream factor in ligand Wnt3 signaling for mRNA translation.

Towards an Integrated View of Wnt Signaling in Development Renée Van Amerongen and Roel Nusse*
HYPOTHESIS 3205 Development 136, 3205-3214 (2009) doi:10.1242/dev.033910 Towards an integrated view of Wnt signaling in development Renée van Amerongen and Roel Nusse* Wnt signaling is crucial for embryonic development in all animal Notably, components at virtually every level of the Wnt signal species studied to date. The interaction between Wnt proteins transduction cascade have been shown to affect both β-catenin- and cell surface receptors can result in a variety of intracellular dependent and -independent responses, depending on the cellular responses. A key remaining question is how these specific context. As we discuss below, this holds true for the Wnt proteins responses take shape in the context of a complex, multicellular themselves, as well as for their receptors and some intracellular organism. Recent studies suggest that we have to revise some of messengers. Rather than concluding that these proteins are shared our most basic ideas about Wnt signal transduction. Rather than between pathways, we instead propose that it is the total net thinking about Wnt signaling in terms of distinct, linear, cellular balance of signals that ultimately determines the response of the signaling pathways, we propose a novel view that considers the receiving cell. In the context of an intact and developing integration of multiple, often simultaneous, inputs at the level organism, cells receive multiple, dynamic, often simultaneous and of both Wnt-receptor binding and the downstream, sometimes even conflicting inputs, all of which are integrated to intracellular response. elicit the appropriate cell behavior in response. As such, the different signaling pathways might thus be more intimately Introduction intertwined than previously envisioned.

Multi-Functionality of Proteins Involved in GPCR and G Protein Signaling: Making Sense of Structure–Function Continuum with In

Uversky2,4 Received: 5 August 2019 / Revised: 5 August 2019 / Accepted: 12 August 2019 / Published online: 19 August 2019 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 Abstract GPCR–G protein signaling system recognizes a multitude of extracellular ligands and triggers a variety of intracellular signal- ing cascades in response. In humans, this system includes more than 800 various GPCRs and a large set of heterotrimeric G proteins. Complexity of this system goes far beyond a multitude of pair-wise ligand–GPCR and GPCR–G protein interactions. In fact, one GPCR can recognize more than one extracellular signal and interact with more than one G protein. Furthermore, one ligand can activate more than one GPCR, and multiple GPCRs can couple to the same G protein. This defnes an intricate multifunctionality of this important signaling system. Here, we show that the multifunctionality of GPCR–G protein system represents an illustrative example of the protein structure–function continuum, where structures of the involved proteins represent a complex mosaic of diferently folded regions (foldons, non-foldons, unfoldons, semi-foldons, and inducible foldons). The functionality of resulting highly dynamic conformational ensembles is fne-tuned by various post-translational modifcations and alternative splicing, and such ensembles can undergo dramatic changes at interaction with their specifc partners.

Moreover, our previous study indicated that the differentially methylated genes in preeclampsia were enriched in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study aimed to identify differentially methylated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway genes in the preeclamptic placenta and to study the roles of these genes in trophoblast cells in vitro.

This functions to construct and maintain an intestinal stem cell niche in the base of crypts and to protect stem cells from apoptosis. The aim of this study was to identify which Wnt agonists are present to mediate this activity. Methods: RNA was extracted from rats at day 14 infant (n = 4) and day 72 (n = 4) of life and analysed by real time PCR array to identify which Wnts were up regulated during infancy with selected Wnts localized by laser capture microscopy and PCR. Subsequently, Wnts were assessed in intestinal homogenates by individual Wnt real time quantitative PCR using different primer sets from litters (n = 6) at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 72 days of life in rats.

Epithelial lumen volume changes, for example, generate mechanical forces that can be perceived by the surrounding tissue and integrated into cell fate decisions. Similar behavior occurs in regenerating Hydra tissue spheroids, where periodic osmotically driven inflation and deflation cycles generate mechanical stimuli in the form of tissue stretching. Using this model, we investigate how such mechanical input guides the de novo formation of differentiated body parts. We show that the expression of the organizer-defining factor Wnt3 functions as a quantitative readout of cellular stretching and, when supplied externally, enables successful regeneration without mechanical stimulation. This finding represents a previously undescribed cellular mechanism for converting mechanical stimuli to a biochemical signaling readout and guiding cell fate transitions.
