A CBP Binding Transcriptional Repressor Produced by the PS1/ϵ-Cleavage of N-Cadherin Is Inhibited by PS1 FAD Mutations

TLDR
It is shown that a PS1-dependent gamma-secretase protease activity promotes an epsilon-like cleavage of N-cadherin to produce its intracellular domain peptide, N-Cad/CTF2, which functions as a potent repressor of CBP/CREB-mediated transcription.

Convergence of Wnt, ß-Catenin, and Cadherin Pathways

TL;DR: Evidence is assembled of possible interrelations between Wnt and other growth factor signaling, β-catenin functions, and cadherin-mediated adhesion in tissue differentiation.

EMT, the cytoskeleton, and cancer cell invasion

TL;DR: This review has summarized recent novel insights into the molecular processes and players underlying EMT on one side and the formation of invasive membrane protrusions on the other side.

The cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin

TL;DR: The multiple mechanisms that disrupt E-cadherin function in cancer are reviewed: inactivating somatic and germline mutations, epigenetic silencing by DNA methylation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factors, and dysregulated protein processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ADAM metalloproteinases.

TL;DR: The ADAM family are fundamental to many control processes in development and homeostasis, and unsurprisingly they are also linked to pathological states when their functions are dysregulated, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, asthma, Alzheimer’s disease.

Cadherins in development: cell adhesion, sorting, and tissue morphogenesis

TL;DR: How different members of the cadherin family act in different developmental contexts is examined, and the mechanisms involved are discussed.

Alzheimer's Disease: Genes, Proteins, and Therapy

TL;DR: Evidence that the presenilin proteins, mutations in which cause the most aggressive form of inherited AD, lead to altered intramembranous cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein by the protease called gamma-secretase has spurred progress toward novel therapeutics and provided discrete biochemical targets for drug screening and development.

The Molecular Biology of Memory Storage: A Dialogue Between Genes and Synapses

TL;DR: This book aims to investigate elementary forms of learning and memory at a cellular molecular level—as specific molecular activities within identified nerve cells withinidentified nerve cells.

AP-1 as a regulator of cell life and death

TL;DR: Interestingly, the growth-promoting activity of c-Jun is mediated by repression of tumour suppressors, as well as upregulation of positive cell cycle regulators, whereas JunB has the converse effect.

Transcriptional regulation by the phosphorylation-dependent factor CREB

TL;DR: The transcription factor CREB functions in glucose homeostasis, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and has been implicated in learning and memory, and how is specificity achieved in these signalling pathways?

Growth of a rat neuroblastoma cell line in serum-free supplemented medium.

TL;DR: The rat neuroblastoma B104 cell line was able to proliferate in the absence of serum in synthetic medium supplemented with insulin, transferrin, progesterone, selenium, and putrescine, and in combination there was a marked synergistic effect on cell number.
