Plectin-Isoform-Specific Rescue of Hemidesmosomal Defects in Plectin (–/–) Keratinocytes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2003
The various plectin isoforms are among the major crosslinking elements of the cytoskeleton. The importance of plectin in epithelia is convincingly supported by the severe skin blistering observed in plectin-deficient humans and mice. Here, we identified plectin 1a (> 500 kDa), a full length plectin variant containing the sequence encoded by the ...

Plectin defects in epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy

open access: yesMuscle and Nerve, 2007
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy (EBS-MD, MIM 226670) is caused by plectin defects. We performed mutational analysis and immunohistochemistry using EBS-MD (n 3 cases) and control skeletal muscle to determine pathogenesis.

Plectin: A Cytolinker by Design

Biological Chemistry, 1999
AbstractPlectin is a cytoskeletal protein of > 500 kDa that forms dumbbell-shaped homodimers comprising a central parallel α-helical coiled coil rod domain flanked by globular domains, thus providing a molecular backbone ideally suited to mediate the protein's interactions with an array of other cytoskeletal elements.

Interaction of plectin and intermediate filaments

Journal of Dermatological Science, 2012
Plectin, a member of the plakin family proteins, is a high molecular weight protein that is ubiquitously expressed. It acts as a cytolinker for the three major components of the cyotoskeleton, namely actin microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments.The aim of our experiments was to identify new binding sites for intermediate filaments on ...

The many faces of plectin and plectinopathies: pathology and mechanisms

Acta Neuropathologica, 2012
Plectin, a giant multifunctional cytolinker protein, plays a crucial role in stabilizing and orchestrating intermediate filament networks in cells. Mutations in the human plectin gene result in multiple diseases manifesting with muscular dystrophy, skin blistering, and signs of neuropathy.

Proteolysis of Liver Plectin by μ-Calpain

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1998
Rat liver plectin was found to be mainly associated with plasma membrane fractions enriched in junctional complexes. The membrane-associated plectin has been partially isolated. Plectin co-purifies with a 200 kDa polypeptide which, on the basis of sequence homology, has been identified as a myosin like-protein.
