Conserved Function of Fibrillin5 in the Plastoquinone-9 Biosynthetic Pathway in Arabidopsis and Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Plastoquinone-9 (PQ-9) is essential for plant growth and development. Recently, we found that fibrillin5 (FBN5), a plastid lipid binding protein, is an essential structural component of the PQ-9 biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis.

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Fibrillin Immunoreactive Fibers Constitute a Unique Network in the Human Dermis: Immunohistochemical Comparison of the Distributions of Fibrillin, Vitronectin, Amyloid P Component, and Orcein Stainable Structures in Normal Skin and Elastosis [PDF]
, 1990 Fibrillin, a 350-kD glycoprotein, was recently localized to elastin-associated 10nm microfibrils. Here, the distribution of fibrillin immunoreactivity was determined in normal skin in individuals of different ages and in lesions of solar elastosis or ...

Experimental Dermatology, 2020 Supramolecular networks composed of fibrillins (fibrillin‐1 and fibrillin‐2) and associated ligands form intricate cellular microenvironments which balance skin homoeostasis and direct remodelling. Fibrillins assemble into microfibrils which are not only

Fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 in human embryonic and early fetal development
Matrix Biology, 2002 The extracellular glycoproteins fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 are major components of connective tissue microfibrils. Mutations in the fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 genes are responsible for the phenotypical manifestations of Marfan syndrome and congenital contractural arachnodactyly respectively, which emphasizes their essential roles in developmental ...

Cell adhesion and integrin binding to recombinant human fibrillin-1 [PDF]
, 1996 Fibrillin-1 is a major constituent of tissue microfibrils that occur in most connective tissues, either in close association with or independent of elastin.

Fibrillin-1 Misfolding and Disease
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2006 Fibrillin-1 is a 350 kDa calcium-binding protein which assembles to form 10-12 nm microfibrils in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The structure of fibrillin-1 is dominated by two types of disulfide-rich motifs, the calcium- binding epidermal growth factor-like (cbEGF) and transforming growth factor beta binding protein-like (TB) domains.

Fibrillin-1 regulates the bioavailability of TGFβ1 [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2007 We have discovered that fibrillin-1, which forms extracellular microfibrils, can regulate the bioavailability of transforming growth factor (TGF) β1, a powerful cytokine that modulates cell survival and phenotype. Altered TGFβ signaling is a major contributor to the pathology of Marfan syndrome (MFS) and related diseases.
