Plexin-B2 negatively regulates macrophage motility, Rac, and Cdc42 activation. [PDF]
Plexins are cell surface receptors widely studied in the nervous system, where they mediate migration and morphogenesis though the Rho family of small GTPases.

SEMAPHORINS and their receptors: focus on the crosstalk between melanoma and hypoxia
Hypoxia, a condition of oxygen deprivation, is considered a hallmark of tumor microenvironment regulating several pathways and promoting cancer progression and resistance to therapy.

Semaphorins are a group of proteins that have been studied extensively for their critical function in neuronal development. They have been shown to regulate airway development, tumorigenesis, autoimmune diseases, and the adaptive immune response. Notably,

Crystal structure of the Sema-PSI extracellular domain of human RON receptor tyrosine kinase. [PDF]
Human RON (Recepteur d'Origine Nantais) receptor tyrosine kinase is a cell surface receptor for Macrophage Stimulating Protein (MSP). RON mediates signal transduction pathways that regulate cell adhesion, invasion, motility and apoptosis processes ...

Plexin-B1 and Plexin-B2 play non-redundant roles in GABAergic synapse formation
Abstract Synapse formation in the mammalian brain is a complex and dynamic process requiring coordinated function of dozens of molecular families such as cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and ligand-receptor pairs (Ephs/Ephrins, Neuroligins/Neurexins, Semaphorins/Plexins).

Identification and characterization of a novel mouse plexin, plexin-A4
Plexins belonging to the plexin-A subfamily form complexes with neuropilins and propagate signals of class 3 semaphorins into neurons, even though they do not directly bind the semaphorins. In this study, we identified a new member of the plexin-A subfamily in the mice, plexin-A4, and showed that it was expressed in the developing nervous system with a

Expression patterns of plexins and neuropilins are consistent with cooperative and separate functions during neural development. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Plexins are a family of transmembrane proteins that were shown to act as receptors for Semaphorins either alone or in a complex together with Neuropilins.

A perspective on the role of class III semaphorin signaling in central nervous system trauma
Traumatic injury of the central nervous system (CNS) has severe impact on the patients’ quality of life and initiates many molecular and cellular changes at the site of insult.

MICAL redox enzymes and actin remodeling: New links to classical tumorigenic and cancer pathways
MICAL Redox enzymes have recently emerged as direct regulators of cell shape and motility – working through specific reversible post-translational oxidation of actin to disassemble and remodel the cytoskeleton.
