Expression of KIF3C kinesin during neural development and in vitro neuronal differentiation

Journal of Neurochemistry

Abstract

KIF3A, KIF3B and KIF3C are kinesin-related motor subunits of the KIF3 family that associate to form the kinesin-II motor complex in which KIF3C and KIF3B are alternative partners of KIF3A. We have analysed the expression of Kif3 mRNAs during prenatal murine development. Kif3c transcripts are detectable from embryonic day 12.5 and persist throughout development both in the CNS and in some peripheral ganglia. Comparison of the expression patterns of the Kif3 genes revealed that Kif3c and Kif3a mRNAs colocalize in the CNS, while only Kif3a is also present outside the CNS. In contrast, Kif3b is detectable in several non-neural tissues. We have also performed immunocytochemical analyses of the developing rat brain and have found the presence of the KIF3C protein in selected brain regions and in several fibre systems. Using neuroblastoma cells as an in vitro model for neuronal differentiation, we found that retinoic acid stimulated the expression of the three Kif3 and the kinesin-associated protein genes, although with different time courses. The selective expression of Kif3c in the nervous system during embryonic development and its up-regulation during neuroblastoma differentiation suggest a role for this motor during maturation of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
