Pax6; a pleiotropic player in development

TI Simpson, DJ Price - Bioessays, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Pax6 is a transcription factor essential for the development of tissues including the eyes,
central nervous system and endocrine glands of vertebrates and invertebrates. It regulates the …

Consolidation and translation regulation

…, D Panja, B Pai, K Wibrand, TI Simpson… - Learning & …, 2012 - learnmem.cshlp.org
mRNA translation, or protein synthesis, is a major component of the transformation of the
genetic code into any cellular activity. This complicated, multistep process is divided into three …

[HTML][HTML] Neurons and neuronal activity control gene expression in astrocytes to regulate their development and metabolism

…, E Galea, S Chandran, DJA Wyllie, TI Simpson… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The influence that neurons exert on astrocytic function is poorly understood. To investigate
this, we first developed a system combining cortical neurons and astrocytes from closely …

[HTML][HTML] Long-range downstream enhancers are essential for Pax6 expression

…, S Mella, CB Carr, DA Tyas, TI Simpson… - Developmental …, 2006 - Elsevier
Pax6 is a developmental control gene with an essential role in development of the eye, brain
and pancreas. Pax6, as many other developmental regulators, depends on a substantial …

Controlled overexpression of Pax6 in vivo negatively autoregulates the Pax6 locus, causing cell-autonomous defects of late cortical progenitor proliferation with little …

…, M Molinek, J Pinson, T Pratt, JC Quinn, TI Simpson… - 2007 - journals.biologists.com
Levels of expression of the transcription factor Pax6 vary throughout corticogenesis in a
rostro-lateral high to caudo-medial low gradient across the cortical proliferative zone. Previous …

[PDF][PDF] Pax6 exerts regional control of cortical progenitor proliferation via direct repression of Cdk6 and hypophosphorylation of pRb

…, FJ Livesey, T Theil, K Hasenpusch-Theil, TI Simpson… - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
The mechanisms by which early spatiotemporal expression patterns of transcription factors
such as Pax6 regulate cortical progenitors in a region-specific manner are poorly understood…

The motility of glioblastoma tumour cells is modulated by intracellular cofilin expression in a concentration‐dependent manner

CT Yap, TI Simpson, T Pratt, DJ Price… - Cell motility and the …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The invasive behaviour of tumour cells has been attributed in part to dysregulated cell
motility. Members of the ADF/Cofilin family of actin‐binding proteins are known to increase …

[HTML][HTML] Network analyses reveal novel aspects of ALS pathogenesis

…, A Chai, C Smith, BA McCray, TI Simpson… - PLoS …, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by
selective loss of motor neurons, muscle atrophy and paralysis. Mutations in the human VAMP-…

[HTML][HTML] A unified resource and configurable model of the synapse proteome and its role in disease

…, E Wysocka, X He, D Sterratt, SGN Grant, TI Simpson… - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Genes encoding synaptic proteins are highly associated with neuronal disorders many of
which show clinical co-morbidity. We integrated 58 published synaptic proteomic datasets that …

[HTML][HTML] The Gene Regulatory Cascade Linking Proneural Specification with Differentiation in Drosophila Sensory Neurons

S Cachero, TI Simpson, PI Zur Lage, L Ma… - PLoS …, 2011 - journals.plos.org
In neurogenesis, neural cell fate specification is generally triggered by proneural transcription
factors. Whilst the role of proneural factors in fate specification is well studied, the link …
