THE ROLE OF SKELETAL MUSCLE-SYNTHESIZED BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR IN RETROGRADE TRANSPORT ALONG MOTORNEURON AXONS
… that skeletal muscle-BDNF is required for normal retrograde transport of proteins and mitochondria along gastrocnemius-associated motorneuron axons. We first measured accumulation of the retrogradely transported phosphorylated neurofilament-H (NF-H-P) protein at distal motorneuron axons in young …

THALAMIC PROJECTIONS TO MOTOR PREFRONTAL, AND SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX IN THE SHEEPSTUDIED BY MEANS OF THE HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE RETROGRADE TRANSPORT METHOD
IN THIS STUDY THE MOTOR, PREFRONTAL AND SOMATOSENSORY AREAS OF THE SHEEP CEREBRAL CORTEX WERE DEFINED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR THALAMIC AFFERENTS TRACED WITH THE HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE METHOD. THE MOTOR AREA (AREAS 4 AND 6) OCCUPIES THE CRUCIATE GYRUS. IT RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PROJECTION FROM THE …

Functional Connection Between Yeast Dynamin and Retromer at the Endosome
… the late endosome to Golgi in cells is termed retrograde transport, essential for recycling of important macromolecules including cell membrane receptors. Retrograde transport is regulated by a family of proteins known as the "Retromer” composed of 5 VPS proteins (Vps5, Vps17, Vps26, Vps29, and …

Quantitative Studies of Intracellular Trafficking of Two Classes of Resident Golgi Apparatus Proteins
… between the ER and Golgi at steady-state. Retrograde trafficking of these Golgi proteins has been demonstrated experimentally mandating the existence of a dynamic equilibrium between the Golgi apparatus and ER. Our published studies also included the development of a quantitative method for …

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ROLES OF MUSCLE-SYNTHESIZED BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR AND PRESYNAPTIC TYROSINE RECEPTOR KINASE B IN MOTOR NEURON AXONAL TRANSPORT
… more often, is delivered to the cell soma via retrograde axonal transport, where it modulates gene expression. BDNF activation of TrkB is critical for the initiation of axonal transport, and this cellular process relies on the interaction of numerous adaptor proteins, including dynactin and …

Lesion-induced Synaptic Remodelling In The Rat Red Nucleus
… cortex were studied using anterograde and retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin (HRP-WGA), as well as retrograde transport of the fluorochromes Fast Blue and Nuclear Yellow. To examine the normal synaptology of the red nucleus, the anterogradely …

Regulation of peripheral nerve regeneration by the mTOR pathway
… of injury signaling in the PNS, including the retrograde transport of local axonal injury signals, enhancement of axonal growth capacity in the cell body, and the response of Schwann cells that myelinate the damaged axon. We first addressed how axonal injury triggers enhancement of axonal …

Function of the forkhead gene fd3F in Drosophila chordotonal neuron differentiation
… of the Ch neuron cilium and components of the retrograde transport machinery that may be required for protein localisation within the cilium. In addition several uncharacterised genes were identified as fd3F targets and these genes may therefore also be important for Ch neuron function. I have …

Understanding Neuronal Autophagic Lysosomal Pathways Through Genetic and Pharmacological Perturbations
… despite its importance to axonal lysosome retrograde transport, the role of JIP3 in axonal transport of less mature autolysosomes and autophagosomes in mammalian neurons has not yet been described. Additionally, the impact of disrupting axonal lysosomal transport on neuronal autophagy has …

Genetic analysis of dynein function in the nervous system and in mitosis
… adaptors and co-factors, dynein orchestrates retrograde transport of diverse cargoes in interphase cells and plays multiple roles in mitosis. The importance of this motor is underlined by the fact that mutations in Dynein heavy chain, the motor-containing subunit of dynein, cause neurological …

THE EFFECT OF SKELETAL MUSCLE-SYNTHESIZED BDNF ON MOTOR NEURON SOMA SIZE AND BDNF PROTEIN ABUNDANCE
… cascade that recruits dynein motor proteins for retrograde transport of the BDNF/TrkB endosome to the motor neuron soma. At the motor neuron soma, the BDNF/TrkB complex activates cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding protein (CREB), leading to transcriptional changes that …

"Molecular Analysis of Virulence Factors Unique to Leptopilina heterotoma-a Parasitic Wasp of Drosophila spp."
… interactions pointed to 9A08 functioning in retrograde transport and vacuolar protein sorting, leading us to hypothesize that 9A08 helps mediate endocytosis of VLPs in fly plasmatocytes. We will also discuss the precise endocytic retrograde trafficking routes that VLPs take before they are …

Mutational and functional analyses of the dynein heavy chain indicate the existence of an apical-sistal transport cycle in cells
… of eukaryotic cells depend on intracellular transport governed by the microtubule based molecular motors cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin. Dynein carries out the inward transport of cargos whereas kinesins are responsible for the outward movement. Although intracellular transport is necessary …

Developmental Dynamics of the Mouse Retinocollicular Projection: A Quantitative Characterisation
… This characterisation has been done by utilising retrograde transport of fluorescent microspheres administered by discrete injections into the SC and recovered from retinal flat-mounts. To enable quantification of topographic precision, retinae are standardised using an algorithm that permits …

Charakterisierung eines Proteinkomplexes in Säugerzellen, der am Transport zwischen Membrankompartimenten beteiligt ist.
Intrazellulärer Transport vermittelt die Verteilung von Proteinen und Lipiden zwischen verschiedenen Kompartimenten. Dazu werden Vesikel vom Donorkompartiment abgeschnürt und zur Akzeptormembran transportiert, mit der sie fusionieren. Als zusätzlichen Weg betrachtet man den Transport in Form von …

Involvement of a specific ubiquitin ligase in the assembly of the dynein motor in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
… motor proteins to accomplish intracellular transport. The two microtubule based motors, kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein, work in concert to move cargoes outward and inward, respectively, in the cell. In polarized cells, molecular motors are of even greater importance due to a need for long …
