They provide an experimental model for studying the links between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Members of the integrin family of extracellular matrix receptors are prominent components, spanning the membrane in focal adhesions, but there is evidence that other membrane components are also needed for these structures to form. A number of proteins are concentrated at the cytoplasmic face of focal adhesions. Recent efforts have sought to determine the links between actin and the integrin cytoplasmic domains. Using in vitro binding assays, two potential bridges between actin and integrin have been identified. One involves talin, which has recently been shown to bind actin directly. The other involves the actin-binding protein, α-actinin, which has been found to interact with several integrins. The physiological significance of these two potential bridges between actin and integrin remains to be determined in vivo.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77508,"journal":{"name":"Cell differentiation and development : the official journal of the International Society of Developmental Biologists","volume":"32 3","pages":"Pages 337-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0922-3371(90)90048-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13283286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three MAbs, classified as D-10 and H-6 (IgG<sub>1</sub>-isotype), and G-4 (IgM-isotype), exhibited the highest degree of immunoreactivity for chick embryo CRABP. The antibodies showed partial reactivity to CRABP from rat testis. None of the MAbs showed cross-reactivity with cellular retinol-binding protein or fatty acid-binding protein which are structurally similar to CRABP. The antigen-specificity was confirmed by immunoblot analysis as well as by fast protein liquid chromatographic analysis. The radioimmunoassay developed for MAb (D-10) provided a detectability range of 0.5-5.0 ng of CRABP in the standard displacement curves. An abundance of CRABP was found in embryonic skin, brain, testis and eye. Several other tissues (heart, lung, liver), previously reported to have undetectable levels of CRABP, showed significant amounts of the binding protein. The levels of CRABP peaked in early (4–6-day-old) and late (11–14-day-old) stages of embryo development. Immunolocalization of CRABP in chick embryo skin demonstrates a specific intense staining for the antigen in the dense areas of mesenchyme cells (mesodermal layers); little or no staining was apparent in the differentiated cells of epidermis and peridermis as well as in the loose connective tissues. The MAbs are useful not only in the purification of CRABP as an affinity absorbent, but also in the elucidation of the possible role of CRABP in the transfer of the ligand to its nuclear receptors and in the morphogenetic gradient formation of RA in chick embryo tissues.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77508,"journal":{"name":"Cell differentiation and development : the official journal of the International Society of Developmental Biologists","volume":"32 2","pages":"Pages 131-140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0922-3371(90)90107-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13122060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the present work was to investigate the extent to which the neuroblasts that are present in the neurectoderm immediately after gastrulation are committed to give rise to multiple subsets of neurons containing various combinations of neuroactive transmitters rather than to different subpopulations of neurochemically homogeneous neurons. By means of double immunocytochemical localization with a monoclonal TOH-antibody and polyclonal antibodies against GABA or somatostatin, no coexistence of neurotransmitters and neuropeptide was ever found in neuronal subpopulations arising in vitro from NP or NF. The early emergence, under the same conditions, of distinct neuronal subpopulations as a consequence of neural induction strongly suggests that, at the gastrula stage, the neural precursor population most probably does not constitute a homogeneous set of cells.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77508,"journal":{"name":"Cell differentiation and development : the official journal of the International Society of Developmental Biologists","volume":"32 2","pages":"Pages 71-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0922-3371(90)90101-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13140192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This autoneuralization can be prevented by the cell supernatant from dissociated ectoderm of <em>Xenopus laevis</em>, which contains extracellular matrix components. After phenol extraction of the supernatant, the aqueous phase does no longer show inhibitory activity. It can be concluded from these results that glycoconjugates responsible for the prevention of neuralization represent glycoproteins or proteoglycans which are loosely attached to integral plasma membrane components. Single early gastrula ectoderm cells mixed with non-competent late gastrula ectoderm or endoderm, which primarily form common aggregates, do not differentiate into neural derivatives. In these reaggregates the ectoderm cells remain separated from each other by heterologous cells (non-competent ectoderm or endodermal cells) during the period of competence. These data indicate that the quick recovery of extracellular matrix components together with the restoration of the former organization of the plasma membrane is responsible for the prevention of neuralization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77508,"journal":{"name":"Cell differentiation and development : the official journal of the International Society of Developmental Biologists","volume":"32 2","pages":"Pages 117-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0922-3371(90)90105-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13239081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
