Dystrophin and nebulin in the muscular dystrophies

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1988
Skeletal muscle from patients with 5 different forms of muscular dystrophy and from 6 fetuses at high risk (95%) for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were probed with specific antibodies for the presence of dystrophin and nebulin. Dystrophin was absent in all 5 patients with DMD and 4 of 6 fetuses at high risk for DMD and present in trace amounts in ...

cDNA Cloning of Mouse Nebulin Evidence that the Nebulin-Coding Sequence is Highly Conserved Among Vertebrates

FEBS Journal, 1996
Nebulin is a family of giant myofibrillar proteins with molecular masses ranging over 700–900 kDa. Using a human nebulin cDNA probe, we isolated three nebulin cDNA clones from a mouse skeletal muscle cDNA library. These three clones, labeled 8c, 7a and 4b, carry inserts of 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 kb, respectively.

Nemaline myopathy caused by mutations in the nebulin gene may present as a distal myopathy

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2011
Mutations in the nebulin gene are the main cause of autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy, with clinical presentations ranging from mild to severe disease.

Nebulin—A Giant Chameleon

2008
Nebulin is an enormous protein of the muscle sarcomere. It is a determinant of thin filament length, Z-disk structure and fiber contractility. The nebulin gene contains four regions of alternative splicing, providing a wealth of different isoforms of the protein.

Nebulin is normally expressed in nemaline myopathy

Acta Neuropathologica, 1999
Since the nebulin gene is located in the candidate gene locus of autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy, 2q21.2-q22, we examined five muscle biopsy specimens with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against nebulin in combination with the modified Gomori trichrome stain. We were able to demonstrate immunohistochemically that there was no abnormality in

Transcripts of the nebulin gene from Ciona heart and their implications for the evolution of nebulin family genes

Gene, 2019
Nebulin is a 770 kDa protein that is localized along the thin filaments of skeletal muscles in vertebrates. It is also present in the striated muscles of Amphioxus, an invertebrate cephalochordate that is phylogenetically close to vertebrates.

Targeting of nebulin fragments to the cardiac sarcomere

Experimental Cell Research, 2007
Nebulin, a vertebrate skeletal muscle actin binding protein, plays an important role in thin filament architecture. Recently, a number of reports have indicated evidence for nebulin expression in vertebrate hearts. To investigate the ability of nebulin to interact with cardiac myofilaments, we have expressed nebulin cDNA fragments tagged with green ...

SH3 in muscles: solution structure of the SH3 domain from nebulin

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 1998
The huge modular protein nebulin is located in the thin filament of striated muscle in vertebrates and is thought to bind and stabilize F-actin. The C-terminal part of human nebulin is anchored in the sarcomeric Z-disk and contains an SH3 domain, the ...

Structure and function of titin and nebulin

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
Recent investigations of titin anchorage and elasticity have been supplemented with in vitro expression studies on isolated domains of titin and nebulin. These have yielded new insights into the molecular basis of the functions of these proteins in muscle.

Molecular Contacts between Nebulin and Actin:  Cross-Linking of Nebulin Modules to the N-Terminus of Actin

Biochemistry, 1997
Nebulin, a giant actin binding protein, coextends with actin and is thought to form a composite thin filament in the skeletal muscle sarcomere. To understand the molecular interactions between nebulin and actin, we have applied chemical cross-linking techniques to define molecular contacts between actin and ND8, a two-module nebulin fragment that ...
