Loss of ADAM29 does not affect viability and fertility in mice but improves wound healing

iScience
Summary: ADAM29 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 29) is a member of the membrane-anchored ADAM family of proteins, which is highly expressed in testis and may mediate different physiological and pathological processes.

RNAi-mediated knockdown of gut receptor-like genes prohibitin and α-amylase altered the susceptibility of Galleria mellonella to Cry1AcF toxin

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Due to the prolonged usage of Bt-based biopesticides and Bt-transgenic crops worldwide, insects are continually developing resistance against Cry toxins.

Cellular sheddases are induced by Merkel cell polyomavirus small tumour antigen to mediate cell dissociation and invasiveness.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer with a high propensity for recurrence and metastasis. Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is recognised as the causative factor in the majority of MCC cases.

Differential surface expression of ADAM10 and ADAM17 on human T lymphocytes and tumor cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs) have been implicated in many processes controlling organismic development and integrity. Important substrates of ADAM proteases include growth factors, cytokines and their receptors and adhesion proteins.

Immunomodulatory role of metalloproteinase ADAM17 in tumor development

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
ADAM17 is a member of the a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family of transmembrane proteases involved in the shedding of some cell membrane proteins and regulating various signaling pathways.

γδ T LYMPHOCYTES AS A FIRST LINE OF IMMUNE DEFENSE: OLD AND NEW WAYS OF ANTIGEN RECOGNITION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Among γδT cells, the Vδ1 subset, resident in epithelial tissues, is implied in the defense against viruses, fungi and certain hematological malignancies, while the circulating Vδ2 subpopulation mainly respond to mycobacteria and solid tumors.

Proteases at work: Cues for understanding neural development and degeneration

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2015
Proteolytical processing of membrane bound molecules is a fundamental mechanism for the degradation of these proteins as well as for controlling cell-to-cell communication, which is at the basis of tissue development and homeostasis.

ADAM11 a novel regulator of Wnt and BMP4 signaling in neural crest and cancer

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: Cranial neural crest (CNC) cells are induced at the border of the neural plate by a combination of FGF, Wnt, and BMP4 signaling. CNC then migrate ventrally and invade ventral structures where they contribute to craniofacial development ...

Identification and preliminary characterization of mouse Adam33

BMC Genetics, 2002
Background The metalloprotease-disintegrin family, or ADAM, proteins, are implicated in cell-cell interactions, cell fusion, and cell signaling, and are widely distributed among metazoan phyla.

Expression, Localization, and Processing of Chicken Sperm ADAM32L2 during the Acrosome Reaction: A Possible Function in the Sperm–Egg Interaction

The Journal of Poultry Science
Sperm–egg interactions involve a complex series of molecular events. Among these, the acrosome reaction (AR) is a prerequisite for sperm penetration, facilitating the exposure of multiple acrosomal proteins that enhance sperm binding or penetration of ...
