Phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs and integrin cytoplasmic domains activate spleen tyrosine kinase via distinct mechanis…
2018
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is involved in cellular adhesion and also in the activation and development of hematopoietic cells. Syk activation induced by genomic rearrangement has been linked to certain T-cell lymphomas, and Syk inhibitors have been shown to prolong survival of patients with B-cell lineage malignancies. Syk is activated either by its interaction with a double-phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (pITAM), which induces rearrangements in the Syk structure, or by the phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues. In addition to its immunoreceptor function, Syk is activated downstream of integrin pathways, and integrins bind to the same region in Syk a…
Binding properties and stability of the Ras-association domain of Rap1-GTP interacting adapter molecule (RIAM).
2012
The Rap1-GTP interacting adapter protein (RIAM) is an important protein in Rap1-mediated integrin activation. By binding to both Rap1 GTPase and talin, RIAM recruits talin to the cell membrane, thus facilitating talin-dependent integrin activation. In this article, we studied the role of the RIAM Ras-association (RA) and pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains in the interaction with Rap1. We found that the RA domain was sufficient for GTP-dependent interaction with Rap1B, and the addition of the PH domain did not change the binding affinity. We also detected GTP-independent interaction of Rap1B with the N-terminus of RIAM. In addition, we found that the PH domain stabilized the RA domain both in …

Integrin-mediated entry of echovirus 1
2008
Paula Upla selvitti väitöskirjassaan echovirus 1:n solunsisäistä reittiä ja tunnisti solurakenteita ja säätelijöitä, jotka ovat tärkeitä infektiossa. Echovirus 1 (EV1) kuuluu pikornavirusperheeseen, jonka muita tunnettuja edustajia ovat poliovirus sekä karjan suu- ja sorkkatautivirus. EV1 on pieni (25-30 nm), vaipaton RNA-virus. EV1 aiheuttaa useimmiten oireettomia tai vähäoireisia suolisto- ja hengitystieinfektioita, mutta myös vakavampia tiloja, kuten aivokalvontulehdusta.Upla seurasi viruksen tunkeutumista soluun käyttäen elektronimikroskopiaa sekä tehokasta kolmi- ja neliulotteista konfokaalimikroskopiaa. Näin hän pystyi havainnoimaan yhtä aikaa usean eri molekyylin vuorovaikutusta niih…
