Titin kinase ubiquitination aligns autophagy receptors with mechanical signals in the sarcomere
Striated muscle undergoes remodelling in response to mechanical and physiological stress, but little is known about the integration of such varied signals in the myofibril. The interaction of the elastic kinase region from sarcomeric titin (A168‐M1) with

Urinary Titin Is Increased in Patients After Cardiac Surgery
Background: Few non-invasive biomarkers have been used to detect myocardial injury in patients with heart diseases. Recently, the N-terminal fragment (N-titin) of titin, a giant sarcomeric protein, which is involved in muscular passive tension and ...

Obscurin and KCTD6 regulate cullin-dependent small ankyrin-1 (sAnk1.5) protein turnover. [PDF]
Protein turnover through cullin-3 is tightly regulated by posttranslational modifications, the COP9 signalosome, and BTB/POZ-domain proteins that link cullin-3 to specific substrates for ubiquitylation.

Genetic Landscape of Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]
Abstract Objective The association, if any, between gene mutations, pathologic features of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and patient prognosis is unknown. This study investigates the association between common gene mutations in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, pathologic features of malignancy, and patient survival.

Passive force generated in titin plays an important role in maintaining sarcomere structure. In this paper, van der Pijl et al. describe a mechanism by which muscle ankyrin repeat protein 1 (MARP1) locks titin to the thin filament to increase passive ...

Titin mutation associated with responsiveness to checkpoint blockades in solid tumors.
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) immunotherapy induces potent antitumor immunity across multiple solid tumors, although few patients respond well to this therapy.

Titin truncating variants are a well-established cause of cardiomyopathy; however, the role of titin missense variants is less well understood. Here we describe the generation of a mouse model to investigate the underlying disease mechanism of a ...

The titin N2B and N2A regions: biomechanical and metabolic signaling hubs in cross-striated muscles
Muscle specific signaling has been shown to originate from myofilaments and their associated cellular structures, including the sarcomeres, costameres or the cardiac intercalated disc.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blotting comparisons of purified myofibrils and whole muscle preparations for evaluating titin and nebulin in postmortem bovine muscle [PDF]
Purified myofibril (MF) and homogenized whole muscle (WM) samples were prepared from A maturity market steers. Samples were removed at 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 d postmortem.

Titin‐based mechanosensing modulates muscle hypertrophy
Background Titin is an elastic sarcomeric filament that has been proposed to play a key role in mechanosensing and trophicity of muscle. However, evidence for this proposal is scarce due to the lack of appropriate experimental models to directly test the
