Alternative Splicing of a Receptor Intracellular Domain Yields Different Ectodomain Conformations, Enabling Isoform-Selective Functional Ligands

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Events at a receptor ectodomain affect the intracellular domain conformation, activating signal transduction (out-to-in conformational effects).

Functional Diversity of Neurotrophin Actions on the Oculomotor System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Neurotrophins play a principal role in neuronal survival and differentiation during development, but also in the maintenance of appropriate adult neuronal circuits and phenotypes.

Neural Differentiation Promoted by Truncated trkC Receptors in Collaboration with p75NTR

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 1998
trkC receptors, which serve critical functions during the development of the nervous system, are alternatively spliced to yield isoforms containing the catalytic tyrosine kinase domain (TK+) and truncated isoforms which lack this domain (TK-). To test for potential differences in their roles during early stages of neural development, TK+ and TK ...

Modulation of neurotrophic signaling pathways by polyphenols [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Polyphenols are an important class of phytochemicals, and several lines of evidence have demonstrated their beneficial effects in the context of a number of pathologies including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In

TrkC binds to the type II TGF-β receptor to suppress TGF-β signaling [PDF]

open access: yesOncogene, 2007
Growing evidence suggests that overexpression of TrkC, a member of the Trk family of neurotrophin receptors, could drive tumorigenesis, invasion and metastatic capability in cancer cells. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism of TrkC-mediated oncogenesis. The TrkC gene is a partner of the Tel-TrkC (ETV6-NTRK3) chimeric tyrosine kinase,

Single-cell RNAseq reveals seven classes of colonic sensory neuron. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
OBJECTIVE: Integration of nutritional, microbial and inflammatory events along the gut-brain axis can alter bowel physiology and organism behaviour. Colonic sensory neurons activate reflex pathways and give rise to conscious sensation, but the diversity ...

Trypanosoma cruziPromotes Neuronal and Glial Cell Survival through the Neurotrophic Receptor TrkC [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 2009
ABSTRACTTrypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, promotes neuron survival through receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glial cell-derived family ligand receptors (GFRα). However, these receptors are expressed by only a subset of neurons and at low levels or not at all in glial cells. Thus,T. cruzimight exploit

Electroacupuncture Promotes the Differentiation of Transplanted Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Overexpressing TrkC into Neuron-Like Cells in Transected Spinal Cord of Rats

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2013
Our previous study indicated that electroacupuncture (EA) could increase neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) levels in the injured spinal cord, stimulate the differentiation of transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and improve functional recovery in ...

Clinical and molecular features and therapeutic perspectives of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD1) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the IGHMBP2 gene, encoding the immunoglobulin μ-binding protein 2, leading to motor neuron degeneration.

Autoantibodies to Neurotrophic Receptors TrkA, TrkB and TrkC in Patients with Acute Chagas’ Disease [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2010
AbstractNeurotrophic receptors TrkA and TrkC double up as receptors that Trypanosoma cruzi uses to invade cells and as autoantigen in T. cruzi‐infected individuals (with Chagas’ disease). Consequently, autoantibodies against TrkA and TrkC (ATA) potently block T. cruzi invasion in vitro and in ATA‐immunized mice. Thus, ATA could keep T.
