Differentiation of Effector CD4 T Cell Populations

TL;DR: This review summarizes the discovery, functions, and relationships among Th cells; the cytokine and signaling requirements for their development; the networks of transcription factors involved in their differentiation; the epigenetic regulation of their key cytokines and transcription factors; and human diseases involving defective CD4 T cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth Factors, Matrices, and Forces Combine and Control Stem Cells

TL;DR: Multifaceted technologies are increasingly required to produce and interrogate cells ex vivo, to build predictive models, and, ultimately, to enhance stem cell integration in vivo for therapeutic benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA control of signal transduction.

TL;DR: New evidence suggests that miRNAs affect the responsiveness of cells to signalling molecules such as transforming growth factor-β, WNT, Notch and epidermal growth factor, which serves as nodes of signalling networks that ensure homeostasis and regulate cancer, metastasis, fibrosis and stem cell biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Balancing forces: architectural control of mechanotransduction

TL;DR: Sustained disruptions in tensional homeostasis can be caused by alterations in the extracellular matrix, allowing it to serve as a mechanically based memory-storage device that can perpetuate a disease or restore normal tissue behaviour.

Intracellular cleavage of Notch leads to a heterodimeric receptor on the plasma membrane

TL;DR: Evidence is presented demonstrating that the Notch receptor on the plasma membrane is cleaved and two fragments are tethered together on the Plasma membrane by a link that is sensitive to reducing conditions, forming a heterodimeric receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycosylation regulates Notch signalling

TL;DR: This work has shown that extracellular post-translational modifications, in the form of glycosylation, are essential for the Notch signalling pathway, and that differences in the extent of glyCosylation are a significant mechanism by which this pathway is regulated.

Mastermind Recruits CycC:CDK8 to Phosphorylate the Notch ICD and Coordinate Activation with Turnover

TL;DR: A role for MAM and CycC:CDK8 in the turnover of the Notch enhancer complex at target genes is suggested as well as point mutations affecting conserved Ser residues within the ICD PEST motif prevent hyperphosphorylation by Cyc: CDK8 and stabilize the I CD in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ligand endocytosis drives receptor dissociation and activation in the Notch pathway.

TL;DR: It is suggested that endocytosis into delta-expressing cells of NotchECD bound to delta plays a critical role during activation of the Notch receptor and is required to achieve processing and dissociation of the notch protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signal transduction by activated mNotch: importance of proteolytic processing and its regulation by the extracellular domain

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a mNotch1 mutant protein that lacks its extracellular domain but retains its membrane-spanning region becomes proteolytically processed on its intracellular surface and, as a result, the activated intrACEllular domain (mNotchIC) is released and can move to the nucleus.
