Developmental mechanism of the periodic membrane skeleton in axons
eLife, 2014 Actin, spectrin, and associated molecules form a periodic sub-membrane lattice structure in axons. How this membrane skeleton is developed and why it preferentially forms in axons are unknown.

Dynamic scaffolds for neuronal signaling: in silico analysis of the TANC protein family [PDF]
, 2017 The emergence of genes implicated across multiple comorbid neurologic disorders allows to identify shared underlying molecular pathways. Recently, investigation of patients with diverse neurologic disorders found TANC1 and TANC2 as possible candidate ...

Anion transporter: highly cell-type-specific expression of distinct polypeptides and transcripts in erythroid and nonerythroid cells [PDF]
, 1985 Affinity-purified antibodies and cDNA probes specific for the chicken erythrocyte anion transporter (also referred to as band 3) have been used to demonstrate that this protein is expressed in a highly cell- type-specific manner in the avian kidney ...

Synthesis of spectrin in avian erythroid cells: association of nascent polypeptide chains with the cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 1983 The site of synthesis of spectrin was investigated in erythroid cells from 10-day chicken embryos. After various periods of [35S]methionine incorporation the cells were lysed in a Triton X-100 (TX-100)-containing buffer and were separated into a TX-100 ...

A clinical and experimental study of adult hereditary spherocytosis in the Chinese population
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020 Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is often misdiagnosed due to lack of specific diagnostic methods. Our study summarized clinical characteristics and described the diagnostic workflow for mild and moderate HS in Chinese individuals, using data from 20 adults,

Bilaterian Giant Ankyrins Have a Common Evolutionary Origin and Play a Conserved Role in Patterning the Axon Initial Segment. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 In vertebrate neurons, the axon initial segment (AIS) is specialized for action potential initiation. It is organized by a giant 480 Kd variant of ankyrin G (AnkG) that serves as an anchor for ion channels and is required for a plasma membrane diffusion ...

Accumulation of muscle ankyrin repeat protein transcript reveals local activation of primary myotube endcompartments during muscle morphogenesis [PDF]
, 1997 The characteristic shapes and positions of each individual body muscle are established during the process of muscle morphogenesis in response to patterning information from the surrounding mesenchyme. Throughout muscle morphogenesis, primary myotubes are
