This was largely due to poor information and out-of-date catalogs from the vast range of suppliers who were spread across many countries. In some cases, I also experienced difficulties with companies whose products were unreliable and whose customer service was slow and to Welcome Abcam unhelpful. My vision was to build a company that offered reliable cutting-edge products and great customer service.” It was a tough vision - Abcam was created to sell the best antibodies in the world with the most comprehensive, honest and up- to-date datasheets, fast delivery, helpful customer service and comprehensive technical support.

  • Neuregulin-1 Potentiates Agrin-Induced Acetylcholine Receptor Clustering Through Muscle-Specific Kinase Phosphorylation

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi: 10.1242/jcs.095109 Summary At neuromuscular synapses, neural agrin (n-agrin) stabilizes embryonic postsynaptic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters by signalling through the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) complex. Live imaging of cultured myotubes showed that the formation and disassembly of primitive AChR clusters is a dynamic and reversible process favoured by n-agrin, and possibly other synaptic signals. Neuregulin-1 is a growth factor that can act through muscle ErbB receptor kinases to enhance synaptic gene transcription. Recent studies suggest that neuregulin-1–ErbB signalling can modulate n-agrin-induced AChR clustering independently of its effects on transcription. Here we report that neuregulin-1 increased the size of developing AChR clusters when injected into muscles of embryonic mice. We investigated this phenomenon using cultured myotubes, and found that in the ongoing presence of n-agrin, neuregulin-1 potentiates AChR clustering by increasing the tyrosine phosphorylation of MuSK. This potentiation could be blocked by inhibiting Shp2, a postsynaptic tyrosine phosphatase known to modulate the activity of MuSK.

  • Regulation of Cardiac Progenitors by Combination of Mesp1 and ETS
    REGULATION OF CARDIAC PROGENITORS BY COMBINATION OF MESP1 AND ETS TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS A Dissertation by KUO-CHAN WENG Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Fen Wang Co-Chair of Committee, Robert J. Schwartz Committee Members, James F. Martin Jiang Chang Head of Department, Fen Wang May 2014 Major Subject: Medical Science Copyright 2014 Kuo-Chan Weng ABSTRACT Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. By understanding the regulating networks during cardiac development we can exploit those networks to manipulate adult cells into cardiac progenitors and provide an alternative for repairing diseased hearts. Mesp1 is considered to have critical roles during cardiac development but the molecular mechanisms need to be further studied. The roles of ETS transcription factors have been primarily limited to hematopoietic differentiation and cancer progression. The ETS transcription factors are known to have proliferating roles and were hypothesized to also be involved in cardiac differentiation and may potentially be used for cell reprogramming. The first part of this study characterizes the expression pattern of Mesp1 protein in early mouse embryo from E6.5 to E9.5 and provides a full expression profile in differentiating embryoid bodies in vitro from the undifferentiated stage to Day10. Our work showed Mesp1 expresses in the posterior region of E6.5 embryo then starts migrating through the primitive streak toward anterior mesoderm and endoderm in E7.5. A Mesp1 linage tracing ES cell line was established, and it allowed us to trace the Mesp1 derived cell population.

  • The HECT Domain Ubiquitin Ligase HUWE1 Targets Unassembled Soluble Proteins for Degradation
    OPEN Citation: Cell Discovery (2016) 2, 16040; doi:10.1038/celldisc.2016.40 ARTICLE www.nature.com/celldisc The HECT domain ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 targets unassembled soluble proteins for degradation Yue Xu1, D Eric Anderson2, Yihong Ye1 1Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA; 2Advanced Mass Spectrometry Core Facility, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA In eukaryotes, many proteins function in multi-subunit complexes that require proper assembly. To maintain complex stoichiometry, cells use the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation system to degrade unassembled membrane subunits, but how unassembled soluble proteins are eliminated is undefined. Here we show that degradation of unassembled soluble proteins (referred to as unassembled soluble protein degradation, USPD) requires the ubiquitin selective chaperone p97, its co-factor nuclear protein localization protein 4 (Npl4), and the proteasome. At the ubiquitin ligase level, the previously identified protein quality control ligase UBR1 (ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1) and the related enzymes only process a subset of unassembled soluble proteins. We identify the homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) domain-containing protein HUWE1 as a ubiquitin ligase for substrates bearing unshielded, hydrophobic segments. We used a stable isotope labeling with amino acids-based proteomic approach to identify endogenous HUWE1 substrates. Interestingly, many HUWE1 substrates form multi-protein com- plexes that function in the nucleus although HUWE1 itself is cytoplasmically localized. Inhibition of nuclear entry enhances HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation, suggesting that USPD occurs primarily in the cytoplasm.

  • Detailed Review Paper on Retinoid Pathway Signalling
    1 1 Detailed Review Paper on Retinoid Pathway Signalling 2 December 2020 3 2 4 Foreword 5 1. Project 4.97 to develop a Detailed Review Paper (DRP) on the Retinoid System 6 was added to the Test Guidelines Programme work plan in 2015. The project was 7 originally proposed by Sweden and the European Commission later joined the project as 8 a co-lead. In 2019, the OECD Secretariat was added to coordinate input from expert 9 consultants. The initial objectives of the project were to: 10 draft a review of the biology of retinoid signalling pathway, 11 describe retinoid-mediated effects on various organ systems, 12 identify relevant retinoid in vitro and ex vivo assays that measure mechanistic 13 effects of chemicals for development, and 14 Identify in vivo endpoints that could be added to existing test guidelines to 15 identify chemical effects on retinoid pathway signalling. 16 2. This DRP is intended to expand the recommendations for the retinoid pathway 17 included in the OECD Detailed Review Paper on the State of the Science on Novel In 18 vitro and In vivo Screening and Testing Methods and Endpoints for Evaluating 19 Endocrine Disruptors (DRP No 178). The retinoid signalling pathway was one of seven 20 endocrine pathways considered to be susceptible to environmental endocrine disruption 21 and for which relevant endpoints could be measured in new or existing OECD Test 22 Guidelines for evaluating endocrine disruption. Due to the complexity of retinoid 23 signalling across multiple organ systems, this effort was foreseen as a multi-step process.

Systematic coverage of emerging epigenetic target classes with these potent, selective, cell-active chemical tools will profoundly influence our understanding of the human biology and pathology of chromatin-templated mechanisms. ` Chemical probes are research-enablers Advances in genomics and proteomics methodologies in recent years have made it possible to associate thousands of genes and proteins with specific diseases, biological processes, molecular networks and pathways. However, data from these large scale initiatives alone has not translated widely into new studies on these disease-associated proteins, and the biomedical research community still tends to focus on proteins that were already known before the sequencing of the human genome1. The human kinome for instance, a target class of direct relevance to cancer and other disease areas, is a telling example: based on the number of research articles indexed in pubmed in 2011, 75% of the research activity focused on only 10% of the 518 human kinases – largely the same kinases that were the focus of research before sequencing of the human genome - while 60% of the kinome, some 300 enzymes, was virtually ignored by the community2.

  • Induction of Myasthenia by Immunization Against Muscle- Specific Kinase
    Induction of myasthenia by immunization against muscle- specific kinase Kazuhiro Shigemoto, … , Norifumi Ueda,, Seiji Matsuda J Clin Invest. 2006;116(4):1016-1024. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI21545. Research Article Autoimmunity Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) is critical for the synaptic clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and plays multiple roles in the organization and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). MuSK is activated by agrin, which is released from motoneurons, and induces AChR clustering at the postsynaptic membrane. Although autoantibodies against the ectodomain of MuSK have been found in a proportion of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG), it is unclear whether MuSK autoantibodies are the causative agent of generalized MG. In the present study, rabbits immunized with MuSK ectodomain protein manifested MG-like muscle weakness with a reduction of AChR clustering at the NMJs. The autoantibodies activated MuSK and blocked AChR clustering induced by agrin or by mediators that do not activate MuSK. Thus MuSK autoantibodies rigorously inhibit AChR clustering mediated by multiple pathways, an outcome that broadens our general comprehension of the pathogenesis of MG.

  • C-Myc Regulates Cell Proliferation During Lens Development
    c-myc Regulates Cell Proliferation during Lens Development Gabriel R. Cavalheiro., Gabriel E. Matos-Rodrigues., Anielle L. Gomes, Paulo M. G. Rodrigues, Rodrigo A. P. Martins* Programa de Biologia Celular e do Desenvolvimento, Instituto de Cieˆncias Biome´dicas, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Abstract Myc protooncogenes play important roles in the regulation of cell proliferation, growth, differentiation and survival during development. In various developing organs, c-myc has been shown to control the expression of cell cycle regulators and its misregulated expression is detected in many human tumors. Here, we show that c-myc gene (Myc) is highly expressed in developing mouse lens. Targeted deletion of c-myc gene from head surface ectoderm dramatically impaired ocular organogenesis, resulting in severe microphtalmia, defective anterior segment development, formation of a lens stalk and/or aphakia. In particular, lenses lacking c-myc presented thinner epithelial cell layer and growth impairment that was detectable soon after its inactivation. Defective development of c-myc-null lens was not caused by increased cell death of lens progenitor cells. Instead, c-myc loss reduced cell proliferation, what was associated with an ectopic expression of Prox1 and p27Kip1 proteins within epithelial cells. Interestingly, a sharp decrease in the expression of the forkhead box transcription factor Foxe3 was also observed following c-myc inactivation. These data represent the first description of the physiological roles played by a Myc family member in mouse lens development. Our findings support the conclusion that c- myc regulates the proliferation of lens epithelial cells in vivo and may, directly or indirectly, modulate the expression of classical cell cycle regulators in developing mouse lens.

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.
