Actomyosin-generated tension on cadherin is similar between dividing and non-dividing epithelial cells in early Xenopus laevis embryos by Herbomel, G, Hatte, G, Roul, J, Padilla-Parra, S, Tassan, J, Tramier, M

“…We have shown that the Xenopus epithelium is under tension, approximately 3 pN which remains stable, indicating that tensile forces acting on cadherin at the adherens junction are at equilibrium. …”

The response of synthetic 4-hydroxybenzoic acid on kv1.4 potassium channel subunit expressed in xenopus laevis oocytes by Mohamad, Fatin Hilyani

“…In this study, the response of synthetic 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was tested on Kv1.4 potassium channel that was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes as the model system. Kv1.4 is a rapidly inactivating Shaker-related member of the voltage-gated potassium channels with two inactivation mechanisms; the fast N-type and slow C-type. …”

Modulation of RECK levels in Xenopus A6 cells: effects on MT1-MMP, MMP-2 and pERK levels by Jessica A. Willson, Bradley S. Bork, Carlie A. Muir, Sashko Damjanovski

“…Our previous studies have revealed a link between MT1-MMP levels, and pro-MMP-2 and ERK activation in mammalian cells, as well as MT1-MMP and RECK co-localization in Xenopus embryos. We here investigated how modulation of RECK would impact MT1-MMP and MMP-2 levels, as well as ERK signalling in Xenopus A6 cells. …”
