Connexin mimetic peptides reversibly inhibit Ca2+ signaling through gap junctions in airway cells

, 2000
The effect of peptides with sequences derived from connexins, the constituent proteins of gap junctions, on mechanically stimulated intercellular Ca(2+) signaling in tracheal airway epithelial cells was studied.

Elucidation of a molecular mechanism controlling inflammation during bacterial infection [PDF]

, 2015
Recently we described a mechanism of gap junction-mediated communication between infected and uninfected epithelial cells that potentiates innate immunity during infection by the enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella flexneri.

CLE peptide signaling during plant development [PDF]

, 2009
Peptide signaling in plants is a rapid developing area of research which focuses on so called peptide hormones. These signaling molecules are utilized for inter-cellular communication in different developmental processes, beside the usage of the more ...

Specific integrin alpha and beta chain phosphorylations regulate LFA-1 activation through affinity-dependent and -independent mechanisms [PDF]

, 2005
Integrins are adhesion receptors that are crucial to the functions of multicellular organisms. Integrin-mediated adhesion is a complex process that involves both affinity regulation and cytoskeletal coupling, but the molecular mechanisms behind this ...

Host protein phosphorylation during "Shigella flexneri" infection : a phosphoproteomic based systems biology approach [PDF]

, 2015
The enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella flexneri triggers its uptake into epithelial cells by injecting several effector proteins via its type three secretion system (TTSS) and interferes with various host cell processes at later stages of infection.

Desmoglein 2 is less important than desmoglein 3 for keratinocyte cohesion. [PDF]

, 2013
Desmosomes provide intercellular adhesive strength required for integrity of epithelial and some non-epithelial tissues. Within the epidermis, the cadherin-type adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1-4 and desmocollin (Dsc) 1-3 build the adhesive core of ...

In silico analyses of conservational, functional and phylogenetic distribution of the LuxI and LuxR homologs in Gram-positive bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2017
LuxI and LuxR are key factors that drive quorum sensing (QS) in bacteria through secretion and perception of the signaling molecules e.g. N-Acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs).
