A comprehensive survey of cadherin superfamily gene expression patterns in Ciona intestinalis

Gene Expression Patterns : GEP
Takeshi Noda, Nori Satoh

Abstract

We have carried out a comprehensive survey of the spatiotemporal expression of cadherin superfamily genes in the basal chordate Ciona intestinalis, as an example of a genome-wide expression study of a gene family directly regulating cellular processes in morphogenesis. We found 15 definitely expressed cadherin superfamily genes in the Ciona intestinalis genome. Up to the late gastrula stage, all identified delta-protocadherins and the type II classical cadherin, but not other subfamily members, were zygotically expressed. At later stages, however, all cadherin superfamily genes were expressed in the nervous system. These data are useful for understanding the role of these genes in Ciona development and the evolution of chordates.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
