Exon organization and novel alternative splicing of Ank3 in mouse heart. [PDF]
Ankyrin-G is an adaptor protein that links membrane proteins to the underlying cytoskeletal network. Alternative splicing of the Ank3 gene gives rise to multiple ankyrin-G isoforms in numerous tissues.

ABSTRACT Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is one of the most severe congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, significantly impacting continence, sexual function, and renal function. To date, the only recurrent genetic aberration identified is the 22q.11.2 microduplication, but several candidate regions and genes including ...

Erythroid anion transporter assembly is mediated by a developmentally regulated recruitment onto a preassembled membrane cytoskeleton [PDF]
Analysis of the expression and assembly of the anion transporter by metabolic pulse-chase and steady-state protein and RNA measurements reveals that the extent of association of band 3 with the membrane cytoskeleton varies during chicken embryonic ...

Evolution in Action: Giant Ankyrins Awake [PDF]
Reporting in Developmental Cell, Stephan et al. (2015) demonstrate critical axonal and presynaptic functions from acquisition of an enormous exon by the Drosophila ank2 gene. They propose that highly elongated ank2-XL molecules, associated with the plasma membrane through spectrin and ank2-L, extend deep into the axoplasm to promote microtubule ...

Schwann Cell TRPA1, a Proalgesic Ion Channel, Mediates Neuroinflammation and Fibromyalgia‐Associated Behaviours in Mice [PDF]
Cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to TRPA1‐mediated mechanical and cold hypersensitivity and peripheral neuroinflammation in the reserpine‐induced experimental fibromyalgia model. (1) Macrophage‐originated reactive oxygen species (ROS; purple dots) target the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel localised in Schwann cells.

NF-κB regulates neuronal ankyrin-G via a negative feedback loop. [PDF]
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a neuronal compartment defined by ankyrin-G expression. We here demonstrate that the IKK-complex co-localizes and interacts with the cytoskeletal anchor protein ankyrin-G in immunoprecipitation and proximity-ligation ...

Research progress on biomarkers of traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury: From primary insult to secondary neuroinflammation and degeneration. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disorder of the nervous system and has become a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their social circles. Its main symptoms include dyskinesia, language
