Sema4D mediated inhibition of cell attachment and migration

Repulsive Sema4D-Plexin-B1 signaling involves four GTPases, Rnd1, R-Ras, Rho and Rac1. Sema4D-Plexin-B1 binding promotes Rnd1-dependent activation of the plexin-B1 GAP domain and transient suppression of R-Ras activity. R-Ras inactivation promotes PI3K and Akt inactivation followed by GSK-3beta activation and CRMP2 inactivation. Plexin-B1 also transiently associates with and activates p190Rho-GAP, triggering a transient decrease in activated Rho.

Nervous system development

Neurogenesis is the process by which neural stem cells give rise to neurons, and occurs both during embryonic and perinatal development as well as in specific brain lineages during adult life (reviewed in Gotz and Huttner, 2005; Yao et al, 2016; Kriegstein and Alvarez-Buylla, 2009).

Developmental Biology

As early steps towards capturing the array of processes by which a fertilized egg gives rise to the diverse tissues of the body, examples of several processes have been annotated. Aspects of processes involved in most developmental processes, transcriptional regulation of pluripotent stem cells, gastrulation, and activation of HOX genes during differentiation are annotated. More specialized processes include nervous system development , aspects of the roles of cell adhesion molecules in axonal guidance and myogenesis, transcriptional regulation in pancreatic beta cell, cardiogenesis, transcriptional regulation of granulopoeisis, transcriptional regulation of testis differentiation, transcriptional regulation of white adipocyte differentiation, and molecular events of "nodal" signaling, LGI-ADAM interactions, and keratinization.
