Abstract：
:Proteins containing disintegrin domains play a variety of roles in regulating processes involving adhesion, migration and cell type specification during development of many metazoan organisms. Most disintegrin domain containing proteins belong to the ADAM (a disintegrin and a metalloprotease) family of proteins that also contain a metalloprotease domain. Here we describe a small secreted protein from Dictyostelium that contains multiple repeated domains sharing homology with both the disintegrin motif and with a second class of fibrinogen receptor antagonists, the ornatins. This protein, called AmpA for its role in modulating adhesion, differs from the ADAM family proteins in that it lacks a metalloprotease domain. Nonetheless, it appears to be involved in the same complex spectrum of developmental functions as the metazoan ADAM family proteins. Here we review the structure and evolution of this protein and its function in cell adhesion and cell type specification. We discuss possible mechanisms by which it might function and review the emerging evidence for a close coupling between cell adhesion and cell type specification.

abstract：:Cytokinesis is the mechanical process that allows the simplest unit of life, the cell, to divide, propagating itself. To divide, the cell converts chemical energy into mechanical energy to produce force. This process is thought to be active, due in large part to the mechanochemistry of the myosin-II ATPase. The cell's...
