Cell Signaling in Plants01:25

Cell Signaling in Plants

6.1K
Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.4K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

4.1K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.6K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:01

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

3.8K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Summary

The study found that WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX5 (WOX5) acts within the quiescent center (QC) to maintain stem cells, challenging previous ideas about its movement. Columella-derived CLE40 signals position the QC rather than restricting WOX5 mobility.

Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Developmental biology
  • Molecular genetics

Background:

  • The quiescent center (QC) in Arabidopsis roots organizes stem cell fate.
  • WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX5 (WOX5) from the QC maintains columella stem cells (CSCs).
  • CLE40 peptide signaling from differentiated cells feedback to regulate WOX5 expression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of CLE40/CLAVATA1 (CLV1)/ARABIDOPSIS CRINKLY4 (ACR4) signaling in CSC maintenance.
  • To test the hypothesis that WOX5 protein movement is required for CSC maintenance.
  • To elucidate the precise function of the CLE40 signaling pathway in root meristem patterning.

Main Methods:

  • Genetic analysis of Arabidopsis root mutants.
  • Fluorescent protein tracking to assess protein mobility.
  • Gene expression analysis to study regulatory networks.

Main Results:

  • CLE40/CLV1/ACR4 signaling does not restrict WOX5 mobility.
  • WOX5 mobility into CSCs is not essential for inhibiting CSC differentiation.
  • WOX5 primarily functions within the QC, with other signals promoting stem cell division.

Conclusions:

  • WOX5 acts mainly within the QC, regulating adjacent stem cell behavior.
  • CLE40 signaling positions the QC by modulating gene expression via ACR4/CLV1 and CLV2 receptors.
  • This redefines the model for root stem cell niche organization and maintenance.
