Integrin signaling plays important roles in development and disease. An adhesion signaling network called the integrin adhesome has been principally defined using bioinformatics and cell-based proteomics. To date, the adhesome has not been studied using integrated proteomic and genetic approaches. Here, proteomic studies in C. elegans identified physical associations between the RPM-1 ubiquitin ligase signaling hub and numerous adhesome components including Talin (TLN-1), Kindlin (UNC-112) and β-integrin (PAT-3). C. elegans RPM-1 is orthologous to human MYCBP2, a prominent player in nervous system development recently associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder. After curating and updating the conserved C. elegans adhesome, we identified an adhesome subnetwork physically associated with RPM-1 that has extensive links to human neurobehavioral abnormalities. Using neuron-specific, CRISPR loss-of-function strategies, we demonstrate that a PAT-3/UNC-112/TLN-1 adhesome axis regulates axon termination in mechanosensory neurons by inhibiting RPM-1. Developmental time-course studies and pharmacological results suggest TLN-1 inhibition of RPM-1 affects growth cone collapse and microtubule dynamics during axon outgrowth. These results indicate the PAT-3/UNC-112/TLN-1 adhesome axis restricts RPM-1 signaling to ensure axon outgrowth is terminated in a spatially and temporally accurate manner. Thus, our findings orthogonally validate the adhesome using an organismal setting, identify an adhesome axis that inhibits RPM-1 (MYCBP2), and highlight important new links between the adhesome and brain disorders.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
View all literature mentionsDatabase of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)
View all literature mentionsInternational, curated, digital repository that makes the data underlying scientific publications discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Particularly data for which no specialized repository exists. Provides the infrastructure for, and promotes the re-use of, data underlying the scholarly literature. Governed by a nonprofit membership organization. Membership is open to any stakeholder organization, including but not limited to journals, scientific societies, publishers, research institutions, libraries, and funding organizations. Most data are associated with peer-reviewed articles, although data associated with non-peer reviewed publications from reputable academic sources, such as dissertations, are also accepted. Used to validate published findings, explore new analysis methodologies, repurpose data for research questions unanticipated by the original authors, and perform synthetic studies.UC system is member organization of Dryad general subject data repository.
View all literature mentionsRandomized controlled trial being conducted at two clinical centers in the United States to learn more about the effects of weight loss on urinary incontinence. About 330 overweight women aged 30 or older will participate and will be followed for 18 months. Efficacy of weight reduction as a treatment for urinary incontinence will be examined at 6 months following the intensive weight control program, and the sustained impact of the intervention will be examined at 18 months. To increase the maintenance of weight reduction and facilitate evaluation of the enduring impact of weight loss on urinary incontinence, they propose to study a motivation-based weight maintenance program. At the end of the intensive weight control program, women randomized to the weight loss program will be randomized to either a 12-month skill-based maintenance intervention or to a motivation-based maintenance intervention. The maintenance interventions maximize the potential for sustained weight loss and will allow them to determine if long-term weight reduction will produce continued improvement in urinary incontinence.
