Linking the molecular evolution of avian beta (β) keratins to the evolution of feathers.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2011
Feathers of today's birds are constructed of beta (β)-keratins, structural proteins of the epidermis that are found solely in reptiles and birds. Discoveries of "feathered dinosaurs" continue to stimulate interest in the evolutionary origin of feathers ...

Beta-keratins of the crocodilian epidermis: composition, structure, and phylogenetic relationships.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2009
Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of three beta-keratins of Nile crocodile scales are presented. Using 5'- and 3'-RACE analysis, two cDNA sequences of 1 kb (Cr-gptrp-1) and 1.5 kb (Cr-gptrp-2) were determined, corresponding to 17.4 and 19.3 kDa

Keratin and Keratinization: An Essay in Molecular Biology

Archives of Dermatology, 1963
The terms "keratin" and "keratinization" are applied to substances and events of singular importance in epidermal biology. Strangely, neither has been accurately defined. The volume Keratin and Keratinization by E. H. Mercer represents the first major attempt to draw together the massive literature concerning these subjects. The resultant essays are an

Hair Keratins and Hair Follicle–Specific Epithelial Keratins

2004
Publisher Summary This chapter describes various methods for the study of keratin expression in the hair follicle, including: (1) in situ hybridization (ISH), (2) light microscopic immunohistochemistry (indirect immunofluorescence, IIF), (3) conventional electron microscopy (EM) and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM), and (4) one-dimensional [1-DE ...

Keratin transamidation

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2008
Low molecular weight keratin was self-crosslinked by microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) for application to wool fabric. From amino acid determination, keratin produced by the alkaline hydrolysis of wool showed requisite glutamine and lysine required for mTGase-mediated transamidation.

Diversity of Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins

2018
Wool and hair fibres are primarily composed of proteins of which the keratins and keratin associated proteins (KAPs) are the major component. Considerable diversity is known to exist within these two groups of proteins. In the case of the keratins two major families are known, of which there are 11 members in the acidic Type I family and 7 members in ...

Keratin Bundling Proteins

2004
Publisher Summary Keratin bundling proteins are a subcategory of intermediate filament associated proteins (IFAPs) that are defined by their ability to organize keratin filaments into macrofibrilar arrays; however, only filaggrin and a related protein have been shown unequivocally to bundle keratin and other intermediate filaments into parallel ...
