cAMP: A master regulator of cadherin‐mediated binding in endothelium, epithelium and myocardium
Abstract Regulation of cadherin‐mediated cell adhesion is crucial not only for maintaining tissue integrity and barrier function in the endothelium and epithelium but also for electromechanical coupling within the myocardium. Therefore, loss of cadherin‐mediated adhesion causes various disorders, including vascular inflammation and desmosome‐related ...

Clinicoradiologic data of familial cerebral cavernous malformation with age‐related disease burden
Abstract Objective Familial cerebral cavernous malformation (FCCM) is an autosomal dominant disease induced by loss‐of‐function mutations in three CCM genes, KRIT1, CCM2, and PDCD10. However, previous studies paid little attention to analyzing the radiologic features and age‐related disease burden according to the genes.

Unexpected distribution of KRIT1 inside the nucleus: new insight in a complex molecular pathway
KRIT1 is an 84kDa protein that lacks any relevant catalytic domains, associated with the cerebral cavernous malformation disease. We have investigated by means of ultrastructural immunocytochemistry the nuclear distribution of KRIT1 in different cell ...

KRIT1 association with the integrin-binding protein ICAP-1: a new direction in the elucidation of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM1) pathogenesis [PDF]
Mutations in KRIT1, a protein initially identified based on a yeast two-hybrid interaction with the RAS-family GTPase RAP1A, are responsible for the development of the inherited vascular disorder cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM1). As the function of the KRIT1 protein and its role in CCM pathogenesis remain unknown, we performed yeast two-hybrid ...

Mutation prevalence of cerebral cavernous malformation genes in Spanish patients [PDF]
[Objective] To study the molecular genetic and clinical features of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) in a cohort of Spanish patients.[Methods] We analyzed the CCM1, CCM2, and CCM3 genes by MLPA and direct sequencing of exons and intronic boundaries

Nuclear Localization of Integrin Cytoplasmic Domain-associated Protein-1 (ICAP1) Influences β1 Integrin Activation and Recruits Krev/Interaction Trapped-1 (KRIT1) to the Nucleus [PDF]
Binding of ICAP1 (integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein-1) to the cytoplasmic tails of β1 integrins inhibits integrin activation. ICAP1 also binds to KRIT1 (Krev interaction trapped-1), a protein whose loss of function leads to cerebral cavernous malformation, a cerebrovascular dysplasia occurring in up to 0.5% of the population. We previously

Cerebral Cavernous Malformation: A Portuguese Family with a Novel CCM1 Mutation
Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular disorder characterized by the presence of central nervous system cavernomas. In familial forms, mutations in three genes (CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2/MGC4607 and CCM3/PDCD10) were identified.
