ANK1 and EPB41 Variants and the Risk of Steroid‐Induced Osteonecrosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Steroid‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory skeletal disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, conclusive pathogenic genetic evidence remains elusive due to the limited exploration of rare damaging variants. In this study, we aimed to identify rare variants associated with SONFH.

Severe Ankyrin-R deficiency results in impaired surface retention and lysosomal degradation of RhAG in human erythroblasts

Haematologica, 2016
Ankyrin-R provides a key link between band 3 and the spectrin cytoskeleton that helps to maintain the highly specialized erythrocyte biconcave shape.

Engineering Murine Cross‐Reactivity Into an Affibody to Human Death Receptor 5

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interspecies cross‐reactive protein therapeutics that target conserved epitopes across species are critical for translational research. The present study showcases the engineering of an affibody molecule, originally discovered for binding to human death receptor 5 (hDR5) with 94 nM affinity, to simultaneously acquire cross‐reactivity to murine

The ankyrin repeat domain of the TRPA protein painless is important for thermal nociception but not mechanical nociception. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Drosophila TRPA channel Painless is required for the function of polymodal nociceptors which detect noxious heat and noxious mechanical stimuli. These functions of Painless are reminiscent of mammalian TRPA channels that have also been implicated in ...

Spectrins and ankyrin distribution in the glomerulus.

, 2016
ImmunoEM micrographs of spectrin and ankyrin in the glomerulus. Spectrin βΙΙ staining was largely confined to endothelial cells. Spectrin βΙΙΙ was present in both endothelial cells (arrow head) and podocytes (arrow).

Ankyrin-B Defects [PDF]

Circulation: 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

Regulation of anoikis by ankyrin complexes

, 2010
Anoikis is a subset of apoptosis, suppressed by cell-extracellular matrix association. It is a safeguard mechanism against tumor metastasis. The present study was designed to understand the role of cortical cytoskeletal protein ankyrin-G and its ...

From Inflammatory Bowel Disease to Cancer: Gut Microbiota–Immune Microenvironment Crosstalk and Natural Product‐Based Therapeutic Opportunities

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), primarily Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract and an important risk factor for IBD‐associated cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune microenvironment remodeling
