Fibrillins 1 and 2 are the main constituents of the extracellular microfibrils responsible for the biomechanical properties of most tissues and organs. They are cysteine-rich glycoproteins predominantly made of multiple repeats homologous to the calcium-binding epidermal growth factor module, and are translated as precursor proteins cleaved by furine ...

Assembly of Epithelial Cell Fibrillins [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2001 Fibrillins are large structural macromolecules that are components of connective tissue microfibrils. Fibrillin microfibrils have been found in association with basement membranes, where microfibrils appear to insert directly into the lamina densa.

Fibrillin microfibrils are widely distributed extracellular matrix assemblies that endow elastic and nonelastic connective tissues with long-range elasticity. They direct tropoelastin deposition during elastic fibrillogenesis and form an outer mantle for mature elastic fibers.

Immunohistochemical expression of fibrillin‐1 and fibrillin‐2 during tooth development
Journal of Periodontal Research, 2014Background and ObjectiveOxytalan fibers are categorized as a microfibril assembly without elastin deposition, and are unique components in the periodontal ligament (PDL). However, little is known about their formation during PDL development. To clarify the mechanisms of oxytalan fiber formation in developing PDL, we performed immunohistochemical ...

The fibrillin‐marfan syndrome connection
BioEssays, 1993AbstractA few years ago no one would have suspected that the well‐known disorder of connective tissue, Marfan syndrome, could be caused by mutations in a recently discovered extracellular component, fibrillin. Likewise, nobody would have predicted that fibrillin represents a small family of proteins that are associated with several pheno‐typically ...

Fibrillin immunofluorescence in pseudoxanthoma elasticum
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1995Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare heritable connective tissue disorder manifested by skin, ocular, and cardiovascular anomalies. The basic defect is unknown; however, the microscopic findings are indicative of defects in elastic fibers. Among the components of the elastic fibers are elastin and elastin-associated microfibrils.We assessed the ...

Microfibrils are supramolecular structures ubiquitously found in the extracellular matrix of elastic and nonelastic tissues. The three members of the cysteine-rich fibrillin family constitute the core of microfibrils. Mutations in fibrillin-1 and -2 lead to a number of heritable connective tissue disorders termed fibrillinopathies.

Proteomic analysis of fibrillin‐rich microfibrils
PROTEOMICS, 2006Abstract MS has been used to investigate the composition of fibrillin‐rich microfibrils from non‐elastic and elastic tissues, and to compare fibrillin‐1 tryptic fingerprints derived from whole zonules, microfibrils and recombinant fibrillin‐1.

The elastic system fibers consist of three types—oxytalan, elaunin, and elastic fibers—differing in their relative microfibril and elastin contents. All three types are found in human gingiva, but human periodontal ligaments contain only elastin-free fibers.

Organization and Biomechanical Properties of Fibrillin Microfibrils
2004The evolution and function of multicellular organisms has required tissue flexibility and the necessity to withstand stretch. These properties underpin movement and allow responses to changing environments. The elastic fibre is a bio-composite material composed of two insoluble extracellular matrix assemblies; fibrillin-rich microfibrils and elastin ...
