Fibrillin Microfibrils

2005
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.

Microfibrils in the myotendon junctions

Cells Tissues Organs, 1978
Myotendon junctions in the rectus abdominis muscles of bull frogs were examined by the fixation combination of tannic acid and glutaraldehyde using electron microscopy. The features observed on myotendon junctions were the following: (1) There were many deep invaginations of muscle cell membrane at the end of the muscle fibers.

Structure of the α-keratin microfibril

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1976
The fine detail in the X-ray diffraction pattern of α-keratin has been explored out to spacings of 4 A by a direct mapping of the cylindrically averagedintensity transform. The meridional maxima lie on a set of layer lines corresponding to an axially projected repeat of structure of 470 A, and the distribution of nonmeridional maxima is consistent with

Microfibrils and Fibrillin

2010
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.

Structure and packing of microfibrils in collagen

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1973
Abstract X-ray diffraction, patterns suggest that the five-stranded microfibrils in the collagen of rat tail tendon are supercoiled and packed together on a square lattice with a statistical distribution of axial displacements between nearest neighbours.

Microtubules and Microfibrils in Human Platelets

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1966
SummaryThe microtubules and microfibrils of human platelets are described. They are studied under conditions that give as little alterations as possible. Conclusions on their localisation in vivo are drawn and their possible role in maintaining the platelet shape is discussed.
