Two papers, one in Nature (Jones et al., 2006) and the other in the Journal of Clinical Investigation (Verma et al., 2006) show that Nck adaptor proteins connect phosphorylated nephrin with actin polymerization in podocyte foot processes, structures important for slit-diaphragm formation in the kidney. Their results further our understanding of podocyte development and repair in glomerular disease.
两篇论文,一篇发表于《自然》(琼斯等人,2006年),另一篇发表于《临床研究杂志》(韦尔马等人,2006年),表明Nck衔接蛋白将磷酸化的nephrin与足细胞足突中的肌动蛋白聚合连接起来,足突是肾脏中形成裂孔隔膜的重要结构。他们的研究结果进一步加深了我们对肾小球疾病中足细胞发育和修复的理解。
