A protein named for its involvement in this process undergoes the highly unusual polysialic acid post-translational modification.
A protein named for its involvement in this process undergoes the highly unusual polysialic acid post-translational modification. A deficiency in CD18 results in a rare, fatal autosomal recessive disorder in which this process is deficient in leukocytes. Bacterial proteins which facilitate this process include the Dr family and FimH in E. coli. Flamingo is a member of a family of GPCRs that have the GAIN domain, facilitating this process. In pemphigus, autoantibodies form against a family of proteins that assist in this process. It's not transcription, but a protein that regulates this process accumulates in the nucleus and cytoplasm in the (*) Wnt signaling pathway. Proteins involved in this process include beta-catenin, as well as the selectins and integrins. Structures which serve this purpose include desmosomes and tight junctions. For 10 points, name this cellular process aided by cadherins, which facilitates binding to the extracellular matrix or to other cells.
