Resource summary
Cell adhesion
CELL ADHESION and MIGRATION
Failure to migrate and aggregate leads to cell, tissue and organism dysfunction and death
Many cells die anyway
CLASSICAL STUDIES
Classical cell aggregation (H.V. Wilson 1907)
Sponges can re – aggregate, and by species
Embryonic tissues re-sort by tissues
In large re-aggregates see regionalisation
L CELLS
Express no cadherins
Transfection induces homophilic sorting
Transfection induces graded sorting
Important general principles mboc 4th ed 19-27
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
Monoclonal antibodies led to CAM identification
MBC 4th Ed 8-6
CELL ADHESION MOLECULES - REVISION
Families
Ca2+ dependent or Ca2+ - independent
Ca2+ INDEPENDENT CAMS
Numerous – major forms are the neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAMs)
Homophilic binding
ECM and cell binding
Single gene, alternative splicing and post translational glycosylation
variable polysialic acid
more in immature
more = less adhesion
MBC 4th Ed 19-31
Ca2+ dependent are cadherins, selectins (and integrins)
CADHERINS
Integral membrane glycoproteins 720-750 amino acids
Ca2+ - conformation change and binding
MBC 5th Ed 19-9b
MBC 5th Ed 19-7 and Table 19-3
And hypervariable protocadherins
e.g. at synapses
role in specifying synapses?
MBC 4th Ed 19-28
CADHERINS IN THE EARLY NERVOUS SYSTEM
Only E-cadherin expressed in early embryo
Newly formed mesoderm cells lose E-cadherin
N-cadherin replaces E-cadherin in neural tube
Complex changes in neural crest cells during migration
MBC 4th Ed 19-25, 5th Ed 19-12c
CATENINS
Catenins link to actin
β catenin can regulate proliferation via c - myc
MBC 4th Ed 15-72 and 19-29, 5th Ed 19-14
SELECTINS
Cell surface, Ca2+ dependent , carbohydrate binding
e.g. neutrophil trapping
MBC 4th Ed 19-30
