Abstract:

In cancer progression, the development of metastases is characteristic of late stage disease and makes treatment and cure more difficult. In order for metastasis to occur, cancer cells must gain motile and invasive phenotypes. As one of the keystone proteins involved in cell motility and invasion, Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) has emerged as a good therapeutic target for the inhibition of metastases via targeted drug design and small molecule inhibitors. Accordingly, a small molecule inhibitor has recently been developed against FAK activation and signaling. However, drug resistance is common am

Abstract:

My work examines the role of a conserved tryptophan residue, Trp2, in the adhesive domain of cadherins that has been shown to be essential for their adhesive function. Structural studies have shown Trp2 to be integrated into its own cadherin domain, integrated into the domain an opposing cadherin molecule, or freed from the domain and exposed to solvent. Until now, the physiological relevance of these structures has been controversial. Using conformation specific antibodies I show that Trp2 integrates into the domain fold of its own cadherin molecule in physiological conditions, but that this

Abstract:

Helicobacter pylori infects the human stomach and triggers an inflammatory response that damages the gastric tissue. This host-pathogen interplay has dire consequences as up to 20 % of infected individuals develop peptic ulcer disease or gastric cancer. Given that half of the world’s population is infected, the number of afflicted humans is staggering and also tells that H. pylori is extremely efficient in spreading and maintaining infection. To enable persistent infection many factors play a role, but one important feature of H. pylori is its impressive ability to adhere to the slimy gastric

Abstract:

Escherichia coli strains typical of UPEC (uropathogenic E. coli) and NBM (newborn meningitis) isolates carry chromosomally located PAIs (pathogenicity islands) that are absent in non-pathogenic E. coli strains. The PAIs include genes for virulence factors such as toxins and genes coding for specific adhesins and pili/fimbriae formation. Commonly, the gene clusters for such fimbriae in E. coli consist of a set of genes for biogenesis of the actual fimbriae organelles: a chaperone, an usher, the fimbrial subunits, and an adhesin, as well as some regulatory genes.

Using retroviral infection and transfection of the cDNAs encoding L-MAG and S-MAG, L cell fibroblasts and NIH3T3 cell lines that express either isoform were generated.

Abstract:

Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1, CEACAM1, is a glycoprotein and a member of the CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) family of genes. It is expressed on the surface of epithelial, endothelial, and hematopoietic cells, within the gastrointestinal tract, reproductive organs, liver, lungs and kidney. CEACAM1 plays a role in inhibiting the immune response, in cell adhesion, in insulin clearance, in cellular apoptosis and proliferation, in angiogenesis, and functions as a tumor suppressor. In humans, CEACAM1 is dysregulated and often lower in hyperplastic lesions than in normal tissue

Heterotypic adhesion studies demonstrate that CEA can cross-interact with NCA; however, neither NCA nor CEA can interact with other Ig superfamily members such as neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and myelin-associated glycoprotein. This specificity was used to investigate the mechanism of CEA-CEA binding usi

The cytosolic tail of L-selectin plays a crucial role in regulating its activity through its interaction with binding partners, such as calmodulin (CaM) and the ERM protein family.

This provides a high level of specificity and regulation of PKA and its role in mediating a number of biological processes, one of which is cell migration.
