A Novel Mechanism for Human Cardiac Ankyrin-B Syndrome due to Reciprocal Chromosomal Translocation. [PDF]

open access: yesHeart Lung Circ, 2017
Cardiac rhythm abnormalities are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Loss-of-function variants in the ANK2 gene can cause a variety of cardiac rhythm abnormalities including sinus node dysfunction, atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias (called the "ankyrin-B syndrome").

CaMKII inhibition rescues proarrhythmic phenotypes in the model of human ankyrin-B syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yesHeart Rhythm, 2012
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Arrhythmias are associated with significant morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease. Recent work illustrates that many cardiac arrhythmias are initiated by a pathologic imbalance between kinase and phosphatase activities in excitable cardiomyocytes.To test the relationship ...

Pleiotropic Ankyrins: Scaffolds for Ion Channels and Transporters

open access: yesChannels, 2022
The ankyrin proteins (Ankyrin-R, Ankyrin-B, and Ankyrin-G) are a family of scaffolding, or membrane adaptor proteins necessary for the regulation and targeting of several types of ion channels and membrane transporters throughout the body.

Ankyrin-B Defects [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation: Cardiovascular Genetics, 2017
One of the joys of a life in research is watching a prepared and inquisitive mind meet an unexpected finding, seemingly mundane, but opening new possibilities. So it is with the article by Swayne et al1 in this issue, who describe a novel ANK2 mutation associated with a prolonged QT interval in a population already enriched for a KCNQ1 mutation causing

The Ankyrin-B C-terminal Domain Determines Activity of Ankyrin-B/G Chimeras in Rescue of Abnormal Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate and Ryanodine Receptor Distribution in Ankyrin-B (−/−) Neonatal Cardiomyocytes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Ankyrins are a closely related family of membrane adaptor proteins that are believed to participate in targeting diverse membrane proteins to specialized domains in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. This study addresses the question of how individual ankyrin isoforms achieve functional specificity when co-expressed in the same cell ...

The L1 cell adhesion molecule constrains dendritic spine density in pyramidal neurons of the mouse cerebral cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
A novel function for the L1 cell adhesion molecule, which binds the actin adaptor protein Ankyrin was identified in constraining dendritic spine density on pyramidal neurons in the mouse neocortex.

Isoforms of Spectrin and Ankyrin Reflect the Functional Topography of the Mouse Kidney. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The kidney displays specialized regions devoted to filtration, selective reabsorption, and electrolyte and metabolite trafficking. The polarized membrane pumps, channels, and transporters responsible for these functions have been exhaustively studied ...

Early developmental deletion of forebrain Ank2 causes seizure-related phenotypes by reshaping the synaptic proteome

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Rare genetic variants in ANK2, which encodes ankyrin-B, are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs); however, their pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Ankyrin-B Targets β2-Spectrin to an Intracellular Compartment in Neonatal Cardiomyocytes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Ankyrin-B is a spectrin-binding protein that is required for localization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and ryanodine receptor in neonatal cardiomyocytes. This work addresses the interaction between ankyrin-B and beta(2)-spectrin in these cells. Ankyrin-B and beta(2)-spectrin are colocalized in an intracellular striated compartment overlying
