We have detected CD100 expression in the Atherosclerosis endothelium as well as in in vitro cultured endothelial cells. Blocking of CD100, plexin B1 and/or B2 in adhesion experiments have shown that both CD100 and plexins act as adhesion molecules involved in monocyte-endothelial cell binding. This effect may be mediated by CD100 expressed in both cell types, probably coupled to the receptors endothelial plexin B1 and monocytic plexin B2. These results can bring new insights about a possible biological activity of CD100 in monocyte adhesion and atherosclerosis, as well as a future candidate for targeting therapeutics. © 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd. 1.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Plexins are a family of conserved transmembrane proteins. Together with neuropilins, they act as receptors for the semaphorin family of growth cone guidance molecules. Whilst it is clear that guidance involves cytoskeletal changes, little is known of the mechanisms via which plexins regulate growth cone morphology. Hints suggesting the involvement of Rho GTPases stem from observations of localised actin rearrangements elicited by plexins and semaphorins. This feeling is consolidated by the demonstration of the Rac dependent nature of plexin induced cellular responses. To investigate plexin mediated signal transduction, a heterologous assay for semaphorin induced collapse has been developed and characterised. Studies using jasplakinolide indicate that Sema3A-Fc induced collapse requires actin dissassembly.

  • Products for Semaphorin Research
    RnDSy-lu-2945 Products for Semaphorin Research Axon Guidance & Photoreceptor Development Cancer & Metastasis Immune Function Angiogenesis Bone Formation Semaphorins, Plexins, Neuropilins, and Related Molecules Initially characterized as axon guidance cues, Semaphorins have since been shown to mediate a wide range of biological activities including lymphocyte activation, photoreceptor development and survival, angiogenesis, bone remodeling, cell migration, oncogenesis, and phototransduction. Given the broad scope of biological activities, it is not surprising that defects in Semaphorin activity have been implicated in a number of pathological conditions including retinal degeneration, oncogenesis, and neurodegenerative disorders. Semaphorins are an evolutionarily conserved family of secreted and membrane-associated proteins that have been divided into eight subclasses based on sequence and structural similarity. Class 1 and 2 Semaphorins are expressed in invertebrates, Class are expressed in vertebrates, and the eighth class, referred to as Class V, includes Semaphorins that are expressed in viruses. Although most Semaphorins share less than 50% amino acid identity, all contain a conserved extracellular domain of approximately 500 amino acids known as the Semaphorin (sema) domain. The sema domain contains several highly conserved cysteine residues and a beta propeller structural motif that is found in other multi-functional proteins such as Integrins. The diverse biological activities mediated by Semaphorins can be attributed to differences in their expression patterns, receptor binding and mechanisms of signal transduction. Secreted Semaphorins (Classes 2, 3, and V) serve as ligands to elicit biological responses, while membrane- associated Semaphorins (Classes 1, 4, 6, and 7) not only serve as ligands, but also as receptors capable of mediating reverse signaling. Several receptors, co-receptors, and receptor binding partners have been identified, but Plexins and Neuropilins act as the primary Semaphorin recep- tors.

This family of proteins is unique amongst single-pass transmembrane receptors as their intracellular regions interact directly with several small GTPases, which regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and cell adhesion. Here, we characterize the GTPase Activating Protein (GAP) function of Plexin-B1 and find that a cooperative GAP activity towards the substrate GTPase, Rap1b, is associated with the N-terminal Juxtamembrane region of Plexin-B1. Importantly, we unveil an activation mechanism of Plexin-B1 by identifying a novel functional loop which partially blocks Rap1b entry to the plexin GAP domain. Consistent with the concept of allokairy developed for other systems, Plexin-B activity is increased by an apparent substrate mediated cooperative effect.

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Cell Science (2016) 129, 1802-1814 doi:10.1242/jcs.184580 RESEARCH ARTICLE TrkA mediates retrograde semaphorin 3A signaling through plexin A4 to regulate dendritic branching Naoya Yamashita1,2,*, Masayuki Yamane1, Fumikazu Suto3 and Yoshio Goshima1,* ABSTRACT subcellular compartments of neurons – axons, dendrites and cell – Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), a secretory semaphorin, exerts various body need to communicate with each other. biological actions through a complex between neuropilin-1 and plexin- Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), one of the first repulsive axon As (PlexAs). Sema3A induces retrograde signaling, which is involved guidance molecules to be recognized (Raper, 2000; Tran et al., in regulating dendritic localization of GluA2 (also known as GRIA2), 2007), plays an important role in proper neuronal network formation an AMPA receptor subunit. Here, we investigated a possible by regulating not only growth cone motility but also dendritic – interaction between retrograde signaling pathways for Sema3A and development and maturation through neuropilin-1 (NRP1) Plexin- nerve growth factor (NGF). Sema3A induces colocalization of PlexA4 A (PlexA) receptor complexes (Campbell et al., 2001; Morita et al., (also known as PLXNA4) signals with those of tropomyosin-related 2006; Polleux et al., 2000; Sasaki et al., 2002; Shelly et al., 2011; kinase A (TrkA, also known as NTRK1) in growth cones, and these Suto et al., 2003; Yamashita et al., 2014). Sema3A accelerates colocalized signals were then observed along the axons. The time- endocytosis during growth cone collapse (Fournier et al., 2000; lapse imaging of PlexA4 and several TrkA mutants showed that the Hida et al., 2012), and also induces bidirectional axonal transport kinase and dynein-binding activity of TrkA were required for Sema3A- (Goshima et al., 1999, 1997; Li et al., 2004; Yamane et al., 2012).
