Abstract

Differences in the soluble protein fraction between the freshly isolated cyanobiont of lichen Peltigera membranacea, the corresponding free-living strain, and Nostoc punctiforme were analyzed. One protein, which was among the most prominent proteins of the freshly isolated cyanobiont, was expressed at a lower level in the corresponding free-living strain and was not detected at all on the two-dimensional gels of N. punctiforme. This protein was partially sequenced, and the corresponding open reading frame (ORF) in the N. punctiforme genome was identified. This ORF contains a fasciclin domain typical of a class of surface-associated proteins involved in cell adhesion. Similar fasciclin motif-containing genes have previously been shown to be symbiotically induced in other symbiotic systems.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
