Protein Kinases and Phosphatases02:54

Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

15.2K
Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.
Protein kinases
Many proteins in the cell are regulated by phosphorylation, the addition of a phosphate group. A family of enzymes called kinases...

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases01:26

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

18.9K
Receptor tyrosine kinases or RTKs are membrane-bound receptors that phosphorylate specific tyrosine on protein substrates. RTKs regulate cellular growth, differentiation, survival, and migration. They contain an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytosolic tail with intrinsic kinase activity. Several extracellular signaling molecules activate RTKs in one or more ways and relay the signal downstream. Ligands such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or...

G-protein Coupled Receptors01:21

G-protein Coupled Receptors

132.2K
G-protein coupled receptors are ligand binding receptors that indirectly affect changes in the cell. The actual receptor is a single polypeptide that transverses the cell membrane seven times creating intracellular and extracellular loops. The extracellular loops create a ligand specific pocket which binds to neurotransmitters or hormones. The intracellular loops holds onto the G-protein.

Enzyme-linked Receptors01:00

Enzyme-linked Receptors

86.8K
Enzyme-linked receptors are proteins that act as both receptor and enzyme, activating multiple intracellular signals. This is a large group of receptors that include the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Many growth factors and hormones bind to and activate the RTKs.
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

14.6K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The mid-hindbrain boundary (MHB) is a crucial organizing center for adjacent brain regions.
  • The precise molecular mechanisms maintaining MHB structure and function are under investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase lambda (RPTPlambda) in MHB development.
  • To elucidate the molecular interactions of RPTPlambda within the MHB signaling network.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of RPTPlambda expression patterns in the embryonic midbrain.
  • Functional studies using forced expression and RNA interference of RPTPlambda.
  • Investigation of Wnt1 expression, Fgf8 signaling, Ras-MAPK activity, and beta-catenin interactions.
  • Assessment of beta-catenin responsive promoter activity and progenitor cell proliferation.

Main Results:

  • RPTPlambda expression is localized to the caudal midbrain, adjacent to Wnt1 expression.
  • Modulation of RPTPlambda levels altered Wnt1 expression domain and Fgf8-induced Wnt1 signaling.
  • RPTPlambda interacts with beta-catenin, suppresses Wnt signaling, and reduces progenitor cell proliferation.

Conclusions:

  • RPTPlambda negatively modulates Fgf8-induced Wnt1 expression, potentially refining the Wnt1 domain at the MHB.
  • RPTPlambda acts as an inhibitor of canonical Wnt signaling via beta-catenin interaction.
  • RPTPlambda plays a dual role in midbrain development, influencing both Wnt1 expression and Wnt signaling pathways.
