Abstract

Background PAR‐6, aPKC and PAR‐3 are polarity proteins that co‐operate in the establishment of cell polarity in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila embryos. We have recently shown that mammalian aPKC is required for the formation of the epithelia‐specific cell‐cell junctional structure. We have also revealed that a mammalian PAR‐6 forms a ternary complex with aPKC and ASIP/PAR‐3, and localizes at the most apical end of the junctional complex in epithelial cells . Results The ternary complex formation and junctional co‐localization of PAR‐6 with aPKC and ASIP/PAR‐3 are observed during the early stage of epithelial cell polarization. In addition, over‐expression of the PAR‐6 mutant with CRIB/PDZ domain in MDCK cells disturbs the cell‐cell contact‐induced junctional localization of tight junction proteins, as well as inhibiting TER development. Furthermore, the binding of Cdc42:GTP to the CRIB/PDZ domain of PAR‐6 enhances the kinase activity of PAR‐6‐bound aPKC. Detailed analyses suggest that the binding of PAR‐6 to aPKC has the intrinsic potential to activate aPKC, which is only released when Cdc42:GTP binds to the CRIB/PDZ domain . Conclusion The results indicate the involvement of PAR‐6 in the aPKC function which is required for the cell‐cell adhesion‐induced formation of epithelial junctional structures, possibly through the cooperative regulation of aPKC activity with Cdc42 .

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Activation of the Par3/Par6/aPKC complex depends on the formation of cell-cell contacts.

    “Its activation depends on the formation of cell-cell contacts (Yamanaka et al, 2001) and Armadillo, the fly b-catenin homologue, is important for proper localization of this complex in Drosophila (Bilder et al, 2003;Tanentzapf and Tepass, 2003).”

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.
