The Dependence Receptor UNC5H2/B Triggers Apoptosis via PP2A-Mediated Dephosphorylation of DAP Kinase

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is shown that, in the absence of netrin-1, recruitment of PP2A to UNC5H2/B allows the activation of DAPk via aPP2A-mediated dephosphorylation and that this mechanism is involved in angiogenesis regulation.

Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018.

Lorenzo Galluzzi, +186 more
TL;DR: The Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) has formulated guidelines for the definition and interpretation of cell death from morphological, biochemical, and functional perspectives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular definitions of cell death subroutines: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2012

TL;DR: A functional classification of cell death subroutines is proposed that applies to both in vitro and in vivo settings and includes extrinsic apoptosis, caspase-dependent or -independent intrinsic programmed cell death, regulated necrosis, autophagic cell death and mitotic catastrophe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-consumption: the interplay of autophagy and apoptosis

TL;DR: The dialogue between autophagy and cell death pathways influences the normal clearance of dying cells, as well as immune recognition of dead cell antigens, and the disruption of the relationship between autphagy and apoptosis has important pathophysiological consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

All roads lead to PP2A: exploiting the therapeutic potential of this phosphatase

TL;DR: This review discusses recent literature on PP2A: the elucidation of its structure and the functions of its subunits, and the identification of molecular lesions and post‐translational modifications leading to its dysregulation in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organelle-specific initiation of cell death

TL;DR: The mechanisms whereby cellular compartments sense homeostatic perturbations and translate them into a cell-death-initiating signal are discussed, which can respond to stress by attemptinwg to recover homeostasis or by activating molecular cascades that lead to cell death by apoptosis or necrosis.

In vivo imaging of embryonic vascular development using transgenic zebrafish.

TL;DR: It is found that the zebrafish fli1 promoter is able to drive expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in all blood vessels throughout embryogenesis, and these transgenic lines allow detailed analysis of both wild type and mutant embryonic vasculature.

Metastasis: a question of life or death

TL;DR: It is stressed that the inhibition of cell death, apart from its extensively described function in primary tumour development, is a crucial characteristic of metastatic cancer cells.

Protein phosphatase 2A: a highly regulated family of serine/threonine phosphatases implicated in cell growth and signalling.

TL;DR: The regulatory ability of PTPA (PTPase activator), originally identified as a protein stimulating the phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity of PP2A, will be discussed, alongside the other regulatory inputs.

Netrin-1 is required for commissural axon guidance in the developing vertebrate nervous system

TL;DR: Results establish netrin-1 as a guidance cue that likely collaborates with other diffusible cues to guide axons in vivo and evidence is provided for a distinct trochlear axon chemorepellent produced by floor plate cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) Encodes a Netrin Receptor

TL;DR: Results indicate that DCC is a receptor or a component of a receptor that mediates the effects of netrin-1 on commissural axons, and they complement genetic evidence for interactions between DCC and netrin homologs in C. elegans and Drosophila.
