Microtubule stability, Golgi organization, and transport flux require dystonin-a2–MAP1B interaction [PDF]
Loss of function of dystonin cytoskeletal linker proteins causes neurodegeneration in dystonia musculorum (dt) mutant mice. Although much investigation has focused on understanding dt pathology, the diverse cellular functions of dystonin isoforms remain poorly characterized.

Dystonin/Bpag1—A link to what? [PDF]
AbstractThe dystonin/Bpag1 cytoskeletal interacting proteins play important roles in maintaining cytoarchitecture integrity in skin and in the neuromuscular system. The most profound phenotype observed in the dystonin mutant dystonia musculorum (dt) mice is a severe movement disorder, attributed in large part to sensory neuron degeneration.

Cloning and Characterization of the Neural Isoforms of Human Dystonin
Dystonia musculorum (dt) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease in mice that leads to a sensory ataxia. We have identified and cloned a gene encoded at the dt locus. The product of the dt gene, dystonin, is a neural isoform of a hemidesmosomal protein bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (bpag1).

The Intermediate Filament Protein Peripherin Is the Specific Interaction Partner of Mouse BPAG1-n (Dystonin) in Neurons [PDF]
The dystonia musculorum (dt) mouse suffers from severe degeneration of primary sensory neurons. The mutated gene product is named dystonin and is identical to the neuronal isoform of bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (BPAG1-n). BPAG1-n contains an actin-binding domain at its NH2 terminus and a putative intermediate filament-binding domain at its COOH ...

Roles of dystonin isoforms in the maintenance of neural, muscle, and cutaneous tissues
Dystonin (DST), also known as bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (BPAG1), encodes cytoskeletal linker proteins belonging to the plakin family. The DST gene produces several isoforms, including DST-a, DST-b, and DST-e, which are expressed in neural, muscle, and cutaneous tissues, respectively.

MAP1B and Clathrin Are Novel Interacting Partners of the Giant Cyto-linker Dystonin
Dystonin is a large multidomain cytoskeletal-associated protein that plays an essential role in the nervous system. Loss of dystonin results in neuromuscular dysfunction and early death in a mouse mutant called dystonia musculorum. Conserved among related proteins, the plakin domain is a defining feature of all major dystonin isoforms, yet its ...
