  2. 1. Regulation of B cell development by antigen receptors

    Author : Jannek Hauser; Thomas Grundström; Yuan Zhuang; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : calcium; calmodulin; e-proteins; E2A; B cell development; antigen receptor signaling; surrogate light chains; RAG; allelic exclusion; V D J recombination; AID; negative feedback regulation; plasma cell differentiation;

    Abstract : The developmental processes of lymphopoiesis generate mature B lymphocytes from hematopoietic stem cells through increasingly restricted intermediates. Networks of transcription factors regulate these cell fate choices and are composed of both ubiquitously expressed and B lineage-specific factors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Calcium regulation and functions of basic Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factors

    Author : Juha Saarikettu; Thomas Grundström; Dan Holmberg; Mikael Sigvardsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; calcium; calmodulin; calretinin; transcription; bHLH; E-protein; E2-2; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The members of the ubiquitously expressed E-protein subfamily of basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors, E12/E47, SEF2-1 and HEB, have important roles as regulators of gene expression in various differentiation processes, including lymphocyte development and myogenesis. In myogenesis, E-proteins are proposed to function as obligate heterodimer partners for members of the MyoD family of muscle-specific bHLH transcription factors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Gene regulation in normal and malignant B-lineage cells

    Author : Lucía Peña Pérez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : B-cells are the central players of humoral immunity. It is known that their development is orchestrated by a small group of transcription factors including the E-proteins and the FOXO proteins, yet this process is far from completely understood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular genetics of B- and T-lymphocyte development

    Author : Ingela Wikström; Dan Holmberg; Inga-Lill Mårtensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lymphocyte development; Dmu protein; transcription factor; bHLH; E2-2; T cell; B cell; marginal zone; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Lymphocytes are essential for the generation of specific immunity. Development of B cells in the bone marrow and T cells in the thymus have several analogous features, and are tightly regulated processes. Even though there is an increasing amount of information concerning lymphopoiesis, a lot of questions remain. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sox proteins and neurogenesis

    Author : Magnus Sandberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The primordium of the central nervous system is specified in a process called neural induction at which point the ectoderm is subdivided into the epidermal ectoderm and the neural plate. With time the neural plate will thicken, fold and form the neural tube. READ MORE
