PlexinA1 interacts with PTK7 and is required for neural crest migration.
Gabriele Wagner, Hanna Peradziryi, Peter Wehner and Annette Borchers
Abstract
We provide further evidence of this by showing that PlexinA1 is expressed in Xenopus neural crest cells and is required for their migration. PlexinA1 expression is detected in migrating cranial neural crest cells and knockdown of PlexinA1 expression using Morpholino oligonucleotides inhibits neural... | PMID: 20946874

Nesprin-2 interacts with {alpha}-catenin and regulates Wnt signaling at the nuclear envelope.
Sascha S Neumann, Maria M Schneider, Rebecca L RL Daugherty, Cara J CJ Gottardi, Sabine A SA Eming, Asa A Beijer, Angelika A AA Noegel and Iakowos I Karakesisoglou
Abstract
We identified the cytoskeleton-associated α-N/E-catenins as novel nesprin-2-binding partners. The association involves the C termini of nesprin-2 giant and α-N/E-catenins. α-E/T/N-catenins are known primarily for their roles in cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Here, we show that, in addition... | PMID: 20801886

Progenitor properties of symmetrically dividing Drosophila neuroblasts during embryonic and larval development.
Atsushi Kitajima, Naoyuki Fuse, Takako Isshiki and Fumio Matsuzaki
Abstract
We genetically created such neuroblasts, and found that in embryos, they were initially mitotic and then gradually differentiated into neurons, frequently forming a clone of cells homogeneous in temporal identity. By contrast, larval neuroblasts with the same genotype continued to proliferate withou... | PMID: 20599889

Gymnasterkoreayne F inhibits osteoclast formation by suppressing NFATc1 and DC-STAMP expression.
Hyun-Ju Kim, JungMin Hong, Ji-Won Jung, Tae-Ho Kim, Jeong Ah Kim, Young Ho Kim and Shin-Yoon Kim
Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that have a unique role in bone degradation. Modulation of osteoclast formation and/or its activity is an important approach for the treatment of bone-destructive diseases such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, Gymnasterkore... | PMID: 20831919

Structural basis of semaphorin-plexin signalling.
Bert J C Janssen, Ross A Robinson, Francesc Pérez-Brangulí, Christian H Bell, Kevin J Mitchell, Christian Siebold and E Yvonne Jones
Abstract
We present crystal structures of cognate complexes of the semaphorin-binding regions of plexins B1 and A2 with semaphorin ectodomains (human PLXNB1(1-2)-SEMA4D(ecto) and murine PlxnA2(1-4)-Sema6A(ecto)), plus unliganded structures of PlxnA2(1-4) and Sema6A(ecto). These structures, together with biop... | PMID: 20877282

Abstract
We report the crystal structures of the semaphorin 6A (Sema6A) receptor-binding fragment and the plexin A2 (PlxnA2) ligand-binding fragment in both their pre-signalling (that is, before binding) and signalling (after complex formation) states. Before binding, the Sema6A ectodomain was in the expecte... | PMID: 20881961

[Essential role of pikachurin, a novel dystroglycan-binding protein, in bipolar dendrite connection to photoreceptor ribbon synapse in the retina].
Shigeru S Sato
Abstract
We identified the novel retinal extracellular matrix protein pikachurin, and observed that it is localized in the synaptic cleft of the photoreceptor ribbon synapse. In order to investigate the biological functions of pikachurin, we generated a pikachurin knock-out mouse. These mice showed improper... | PMID: 21141075

Abstract
We studied the clinical and neuropathologic effects of intravenously administered human MSCs (hMSCs) in C57BL/6 mice with EAE. Human MSCs significantly reduced the clinical disease severity, particularly in later disease. Large numbers of hMSCs migrated into gray and white matter at all levels of th... | PMID: 20940628
