Journal ArticleDOI

Nectin and afadin: novel organizers of intercellular junctions.

TL;DR: This novel intercellular adhesion system has roles in the organization of E-cadherin-based adherens junctions and claudin- based tight junctions in epithelial cells and is furthermore involved in the formation of synapses in neurons and the organizations of heterotypic junctions between Sertoli cells and spermatids in the testis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nectin/PRR: an immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecule recruited to cadherin-based adherens junctions through interaction with Afadin, a PDZ domain-containing protein.

TL;DR: It is found here that afadin directly interacted with a family of the immunoglobulin superfamily, which was isolated originally as the poliovirus receptor–related protein (PRR) family consisting of PRR1 and -2, and has been identified recently to be the alphaherpes virus receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by protein kinase C and adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase.

TL;DR: The substrate specificity of protein kinase C was studied and compared with that of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases by using bovine brain myelin basic protein as a model substrate to provide some clues to understanding the rationale that these kinases may show different but sometimes similar functions depending on the structure of target phosphate acceptor proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho as a regulator of the cytoskeleton

TL;DR: Evidence is now accumulating that Rho, a Ras-related small GTP-binding protein, is another important regulator of these actin-dependent cell functions.
