Dendritic Cell Migration: An Essential Step in Initiating Adaptive Immunity Across Tissues
ABSTRACT Immune surveillance of tissues is primarily carried out by dendritic cells (DCs), which act as sentinels for the adaptive immune system. To accomplish this task, DCs migrate from tissues to regional lymph nodes, or from blood‐exposed regions of the spleen to the white pulp, to prime T cell responses. DC migration is a tightly regulated process

Polar‐localized EXO70G1 regulates root development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The putative exocyst subunit EXO70G1 exhibits apical‐basal polarity in Arabidopsis root cells; this polarity stabilizes membrane domains to facilitate targeting of the auxin transporter PIN‐FORMED2 during root development. ABSTRACT Cellular asymmetry, which represents a fundamental characteristic of cell polarity, is prominently illustrated by the ...

PAKing up to the endothelium [PDF]
Angiogenesis recapitulates the growth of blood vessels that progressively expand and remodel into a highly organized and stereotyped vascular network. During adulthood, endothelial cells that formed the vascular wall retain their plasticity and can be ...

Translational control in plants: from basic mechanisms to environmental and developmental responses
SUMMARY Protein synthesis is an essential process for all living organisms and is tightly regulated to ensure the proper production of proteins needed for growth, development, and stress responses. As sessile organisms, plants have evolved distinct mechanisms to regulate translation, allowing them to adapt to their environment.

Activation of platelet phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase requires the small GTP-binding protein Rho.
The small GTP-binding protein Rho regulates the assembly of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions in cells responding to growth factors. ADP-ribosylation of Rho by C3 transferase blocks this function; however, an enzymatic target for Rho has not yet been defined.

Role of Rac GTPase activating proteins in regulation of NADPH oxidase in human neutrophils [PDF]
Precise spatiotemporal regulation of O2 --generating NADPH oxidases (Nox) is a vital requirement. In the case of Nox1-3, which depend on the small GTPase Rac, acceleration of GTP hydrolysis by GTPase activating protein (GAP) could represent a feasible ...

Binding of Vav to Grb2 through dimerization of Src homology 3 domains [PDF]
The protooncogenic protein Vav has the structure of an intracellular signal transducer. It is exclusively expressed in cells of hematopoietic lineage and plays a crucial role in hematopoietic cell differentiation.
