Cadherin-11 regulates protrusive activity in Xenopus cranial neural crest cells upstream of Trio and the small GTPases (2009)

Kashef, Jubin, Köhler, Almut, Kuriyama, Sei, Alfandari, Dominique, Mayor, Roberto, Wedlich, Doris

Xenopus Cadherin-11 (Xcad-11) is expressed when cranial neural crest cells (CNC) acquire motility. However, its function in stimulating cell migration is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that...

Cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRP), a novel XTcf-3 specific target gene regulates neural development in Xenopus (2008)

Van Venrooy, Stephanie, Fichtner, Dagmar, Kunz, Martin, Wedlich, Doris, Gradl, Dietmar

Abstract Background As nuclear mediators of wnt/β-catenin signaling, Lef/Tcf transcription factors play important roles in development and disease. Although it is well established, that the four...

Reduced U snRNP assembly causes motor axon degeneration in an animal model for spinal muscular atrophy (2005)

Winkler, Christoph, Eggert, Christian, Gradl, Dietmar, Meister, Gunter, Giegerich, Marieke, Wedlich, Doris, ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motoneuron disease caused by reduced levels of survival motoneuron (SMN) protein. Previous studies have assigned SMN to uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoprotein...

Altered subcellular distribution of cadherin-5 in endothelial cells caused by the serum of pre-eclamptic patients (2000)

Groten, Tanja, Kreienberg, Rolf, Fialka, Irene, Huber, Lukas, Wedlich, Doris

The main clinical features of pre-eclampsia are oedema and vascular leakage. Cadherin-5 mediates endothelial cell–cell contact in the vascular endothelium and may regulate permeability as a...

The Wnt/Wg Signal Transducer β-Catenin Controls Fibronectin Expression

Gradl, Dietmar, Kühl, Michael, Wedlich, Doris

β-Catenin stabilizes the cadherin cell adhesion complex but, as a component of the Wnt/Wg signaling pathway, also controls gene expression by forming a heterodimer with a transcription factor of the...

Paraxial protocadherin coordinates cell polarity during convergent extension via Rho A and JNK

Unterseher, Frank, Hefele, Joerg A, Giehl, Klaudia, De Robertis, Eddy M, Wedlich, Doris, Schambony, Alexandra

Convergent extension movements occur ubiquitously in animal development. This special type of cell movement is controlled by the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway. Here we show that Xenopus...

LI-Cadherin–mediated Cell–Cell Adhesion Does Not Require Cytoplasmic Interactions

Kreft, Bertolt, Berndorff, Dietmar, Böttinger, Anja, Finnemann, Silvia, Wedlich, Doris, Hortsch, Michael, ...

The adhesive function of classical cadherins depends on the association with cytoplasmic proteins, termed catenins, which serve as a link between cadherins and the actin cytoskeleton. LI-cadherin, a...
