Teneurins: important regulators of neural circuitry

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology
Timothy R Young, Catherine A Leamey

Abstract

Teneurin (Ten-m/Odz) molecules represent a highly conserved family of four type II transmembrane proteins in vertebrates (Ten-m1-4), which exist as homodimers and undergo homophilic interactions. Each is expressed in distinct, and often interconnected, areas of the developing nervous system. Different Ten-ms have complementary expression patterns. In vitro and in vivo studies support roles for teneurins in promoting neurite outgrowth and cell adhesion. Furthermore, the intracellular domains of at least two teneurins can undergo proteolytic cleavage and translocate to the nucleus where they regulate transcriptional activity. Recent in vivo studies show that teneurins play important roles in regulating connectivity in the nervous system. Knockdown in C. elegans resulted in abnormal axon guidance and cell migration, while targeted deletion of Ten-m3 in mice revealed it is required for the guidance of retinal axons and generation of visual topography. It is likely that all teneurins play important roles during neural development.

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.

Biophysics of Adhesion

Alterations in cell adhesion can disrupt important cellular processes and lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and arthritis. It is also essential for infectious organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, to cause diseases. Understanding the biophysics of cell adhesion can help understand these diseases. Discover the latest research on the biophysics of adhesion here.

Axon Guidance

Axon guidance is a complex neural developmental field that investigates mechanisms through which neurons send out axons to reach its target. Here is the latest research in this domain.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
