Biological activity of neurotrophins is dependent on recruitment of Rac1 to lipid rafts
Abstract
The Rho family of small GTPases, key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, is implicated in the control of neuronal morphology. Here, we report that neurotrophin dependent cytoskeletal changes, characteristic of the phenotype of Rac1, in the hippocampal neurons or PC12 cells are inhibited by the disruption of lipid raft integrity. Activation of Rac1 induced by NGF is impaired in cholesterol-depleted PC12 cells. Pretreatment with gammaGTP shifted significant amount of Rac1, presumably in a GTP-bound form, from non-raft to raft fractions. Proper recruitment of activated Rac1 to lipid rafts, structures that represent specialized signaling organelles, is of fundamental importance in determining neurotrophins' bioactivity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
