Introduction 1 1. INTRODUCTION This present dissertation explores the expression patterns of members of the ADAM and cadherin gene families in the chicken embryo. Section 1.1 of the Introduction introduces the chicken embryo as an experimental system in developmental biology. Section 1.2 is an outline about the superfamily of cell adhesion molecules, which includes the ADAM and cadherin families. Sections 1.3 and 1.4 give an overview on the functions of ADAMs and cadherins in cell adhesion and related developmental processes, especially during nervous system development. Section 1.5 describes the molecular interactions between ADAMs and cadherins and underlines the motivation to study both families of genes in this work. Section 1.6 outlines the aim and experimental approach of the present dissertation. 1.1 The chicken as an experimental model organism The chicken (Gallus gallus) is an important model organism for biomedical research, embryonic development, and molecular biology (Hamburger and Hamilton, 1951; Bellairs and Osmond, 2005). The chicken embryo has served as one of the most widely used experimental animals for both teaching and research for more than a century, for the following reasons: (1) fertilized eggs are cheap and available in large numbers at any time; (2) chicken embryonic development is fast in comparison with most mammalian embryos, lasting only 21 days, which is similar to that of the mouse; (3) the physiology of the chicken embryo is not complicated by the presence of a placenta; (4) chicken genetics are known well, both for normal embryos and for different mutant forms; and (5) as an amniote, chicken development resembles that of mammals in its broad outline (Bellairs and Osmond, 2005). The recent completion of the sequencing of the chicken genome has enhanced the importance of this species in embryology and developmental biology (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/guide/chicken/). More recently, the chicken embryo has also been used broadly in the field of molecular biology and has provided an important model system for studies of gene regulation. Although chicken gene “knock out” is impractical because embryonic stem cells are elusive and generation times in the hen’s reproductive organ are long (Brown et al., 2003), the application of plasmid-based RNA interference (RNAi) in conjunction with in vivo (in ovo or ex ovo) electroporation makes loss-of-function studies possible (Das et al., 2006). In conjunction with gene overexpression (gain-of-function) mediated by the in ovo or ex ovo electroporation of 1. Introduction 2 recombinant plasmids, the chicken embryo allows to fully explore gene function regionally and temporally (Muramatsu et al., 1997, 1998; Luo and Redies, 2004, 2005). The Redies laboratory has extensive experience in chicken embryonic development, especially in the development of the central nervous system (CNS), both in the context of descriptive studies (Arndt et al., 1998; Fushimi et al., 1997; Redies et al., 1997, 2001, 2002a, b; Arndt and Redies, 1996, 1998;

Kudryavtseva1,2* From Belyaev Conference Novosibirsk, Russia. 07-10 August 2017 Abstract Background: Neuropilin and tolloid-like 2 (NETO2) is a single-pass transmembrane protein that has been shown primarily implicated in neuron-specific processes. Upregulation of NETO2 gene was also detected in several cancer types. In colorectal cancer (CRC), it was associated with tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis, and seems to be involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanism of NETO2 action is still poorly understood. Results: We have revealed significant increase in the expression of NETO2 gene and deregulation of eight EMT-related genes in CRC. Four of them were upregulated (TWIST1, SNAIL1, LEF1,andFOXA2); the mRNA levels of other genes (FOXA1, BMP2, BMP5,andSMAD7) were decreased. Expression of NETO2 gene was weakly correlated with that of genes involved in the EMT process. Conclusions: We found considerable NETO2 upregulation, but no significant correlation between the expression of NETO2 and EMT-related genes in CRC. Thus, NETO2 may be involved in CRC progression, but is not directly associated with EMT. Keywords: Colorectal cancer, NETO2, Epithelial-mesenchymal transition, Gene expression, QPCR Background and signaling pathways [3–6].

Received: 31 January 2014; in revised form: 2 April 2014 / Accepted: 11 April 2014 / Published: 8 May 2014 Abstract: Prions are the cause of neurodegenerative disease in humans and other mammals. The structural conversion of the prion protein (PrP) from a normal cellular protein (PrPC) to a protease-resistant isoform (PrPSc) is thought to relate to Cu2+ binding to histidine residues. In this study, we focused on the membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) such as MT1-MMP and MT3-MMP, which are expressed in the brain as PrPC-degrading proteases. We synthesized 21 prion fragment peptides. Each purified peptide was individually incubated with recombinant MT1-MMP or MT3-MMP in the presence or absence of Cu2+ and the cleavage sites determined by LC-ESI-MS analysis. Recombinant MMP-7 and human serum (HS) were also tested as control.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Abstract: Enzymes, once considered static molecular machines acting in defined spatial patterns and sites of action, move to different intra- and extracellular locations, changing their function. This topological regulation revealed a close cross-talk between proteases and signaling events involving post-translational modifications, membrane tyrosine kinase receptors and G-protein coupled recep- tors, motor proteins shuttling cargos in intracellular vesicles, and small-molecule messengers. Here, we highlight recent advances in our knowledge of regulation and function of A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase (ADAM) endopeptidases at specific subcellular sites, or in multimolecular com- plexes, with a special focus on ADAM10, and tumor necrosis factor-α convertase (TACE/ADAM17), since these two enzymes belong to the same family, share selected substrates and bioactivity. We will discuss some examples of ADAM10 activity modulated by changing partners and subcellular compartmentalization, with the underlying hypothesis that restraining protease activity by spatial Citation: Tosetti, F.; Alessio, M.; segregation is a complex and powerful regulatory tool.

  • Learning from Cadherin Structures and Sequences: Affinity Determinants and Protein Architecture
    Learning from cadherin structures and sequences: affinity determinants and protein architecture Klára Fels ıvályi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Klara Felsovalyi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Learning from cadherin structures and sequences: affinity determinants and protein architecture Klara Felsovalyi Cadherins are a family of cell-surface proteins mediating adhesion that are important in development and maintenance of tissues. The family is defined by the repeating cadherin domain (EC) in their extracellular region, but they are diverse in terms of protein size, architecture and cellular function. The best-understood subfamily is the type I classical cadherins, which are found in vertebrates and have five EC domains. Among the five different type I classical cadherins, the binding interactions are highly specific in their homo- and heterophilic binding affinities, though their sequences are very similar. As previously shown, E- and N-cadherins, two prototypic members of the subfamily, differ in their homophilic K D by about an order of magnitude, while their heterophilic affinity is intermediate. To examine the source of the binding affinity differences among type I cadherins, we used crystal structures, analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. Phylogenetic analysis and binding affinity behavior show that the type I cadherins can be further divided into two subgroups, with E- and N-cadherin representing each. In addition to the affinity differences in their wild-type binding through the strand-swapped interface, a second interface also shows an affinity difference between E- and N-cadherin.

Hair cells are mechanosensors for the perception of It is thought that tip links, fine extracellular filaments that connect sound, acceleration, and fluid motion. Mechano- the tips of neighboring stereocilia, transmit tension force onto transduction channels in hair cells are gated by tip the transduction channels (Gillespie and Mu¨ ller, 2009). links, which connect the stereocilia of a hair cell in In recent years, significant progress has been made in the direction of their mechanical sensitivity. The the identification of components of the mechanotransduction molecular constituents of the mechanotransduction machinery of hair cells (Figure 1A). These studies have shown that tip links are formed by CDH23 homodimers that interact channels of hair cells are not known. Here, we show with PCDH15 homodimers to form the upper and lower parts that mechanotransduction is impaired in mice lack- of tip links (Ahmed et al., 2006; Kazmierczak et al., 2007; ing the tetraspan TMHS. TMHS binds to the tip-link Siemens et al., 2004; So¨ llner et al., 2004).
