まとめ
LIMD1はLATS1/ 2キナーゼを細胞の結合に誘導し,ヒッポの経路を調節する. この結合はLIMD1に依存している.
科学分野:
- 細胞生物学
- 分子 機構
- 信号変換
背景:
- ヒッポシグナル伝達経路は 臓器のサイズ制御に不可欠であり 機械的なシグナルによって制御されます
- LIM領域タンパク質1 (LIMD1) は,ヒッポの経路キナーゼLATS1/ 2と相互作用することが知られている.
- 機械的なストレスの下でLATS1/ 2をアデレンス結合 (AJs) に隔離するLIMD1の役割は確立されていますが,分子的根拠は不明です.
研究 の 目的:
- LIMD1がLATS1/2をアデレンス・ジャンクションに結合させ,誘導する分子メカニズムを解明する.

- 細胞ベースの局所化アッセイを用いて,アデレンス結合へのタンパク質の採用を可視化している.
- 機能的要件を評価するためにLIMD1とLATS1/2に点変異を導入した.
主要な成果:
- LIMD1のLIMドメインはAJ局所化とLATS1/2結合に十分であるが,N端IDRとLIMドメインは採用に必要である.
- LIMD1のLIM1とLIM2ドメインはLATS1AJの局所化に不可欠であり,株の感受性を破壊する突然変異は結合とリクルートを廃止する.
- LIMD1に保存されたLATS-LATCHモチーフが特定され,株に依存するLATS1/2の徴募に不可欠で十分である.変異は結合と局所化を破壊する.
結論:

Tension Response at Adherens Junctions
2.8K
The adherens junctions that anchor cells together are multi-protein complexes that dynamically adapt to mechanical stimuli such as tensile forces and shear stress. Mechanosensory proteins in these junctions can sense such mechanical stimuli and undergo a shift in their conformation, resulting in an altered function — a process called mechanotransduction.

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions
2.8K
Integrins act both as extracellular input receivers and as intracellular processing activators. As their name suggests, integrins are entirely integrated into the membrane structure. Their hydrophobic membrane-spanning regions interact with the phospholipid bilayer's hydrophobic region. These membrane receptors provide extracellular attachment sites for effectors like hormones and growth factors. They activate intracellular response cascades when their effectors are bound and active.

Adherens Junctions
5.0K
Strong contact points between adjacent cells anchor them to each other, forming tissues. Such anchoring junctions are of two types – adherens junctions and desmosomes. Adherens junctions are abundant in tissues such as epithelium and endothelium, forming a continuous zone of adhesion called the adhesion belt. In other tissues, such as heart muscle, they appear as clusters, linking the cells to produce coordinated heart muscle contraction.

Anchoring Junctions
3.9K
Anchoring junctions are multiprotein complexes that help cells connect to other cells and the extracellular matrix. Anchoring junctions are present on the lateral and basal surfaces of cells, providing strong and flexible connections. Focal adhesions are often formed due to cell interactions with the ECM substrata, which initiate signal transduction via kinase cascades and other mechanisms. Together, they provide stability and tissue integrity. There are three types of anchoring junctions:...

Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration
4.9K
A migrating cell changes its shape during the cyclic events of attachment and detachment from the substratum and repositions the cell organelles correspondingly. These complex events are orchestrated by the dynamic cytoskeletal network comprising actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Cytoskeletal crosstalk — the direct and indirect communication between the different components — is crucial for this coordination. Direct communication involves various linker...

Catenins
2.4K
Catenins are characterized by multiple binding domains and dynamic structures that allow them to function as linker proteins in cell junction complexes. All catenins, except α-catenin, contain a characteristic protein sequence called the armadillo repeat and are therefore also called armadillo proteins.
Catenins in Cell Junctions
Catenins bind to cell adhesion molecules such as cadherins and link them to different cytoskeletal proteins depending on the type of cell junction. At the...
