Tropoelastin Synthesis in Fetal Bovine Tissues

Collagen and Related Research, 1986
Tropoelastin was examined in bovine lung, aortic and ligament tissues using both organ culture and cell-free translation systems. The bovine tissues synthesized two tropoelastin polypeptides of approximately 70,000 and 68,000 daltons. Two polypeptides were also seen amongst the translation products directed by mRNAs isolated from each of the individual

Kinetics of the incorporation of tropoelastin into elastic fibers in embryonic chick aorta.

, 1982
Matrix-free cells isolated by enzymic digestion of chick embryo aortas were labeled with [14C]proline for 20 to 60 min and the kinetics of the secretion of tropoelastin were followed by chasing the label and assaying [14C]tropoelastin in the cells and in

Ultraviolet Radiation Increases Tropoelastin Accumulation by a Post-Transcriptional Mechanism in Dermal Fibroblasts

, 1995
Chronically sun-damaged human skin is characterized by dermal connective tissue damage that includes the massive accumulation of abnormal elastic fibers.

Glucocorticoids upregulate tropoelastin expression during late stages of fetal lung development

, 1995
The production of elastin, an essential extracellular matrix protein of terminal airway interstitium, occurs mostly during early development. Because glucocorticoids influence airway maturation, we studied the effect of dexamethasone (Dex) on ...

Role of polyproline II conformation in human tropoelastin structure

, 2011
In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the molecular studies on human tropoelastin domains accomplished by Tamburro and co-workers in the last decade.

Transcriptional regulation of tropoelastin expression in rat lung fibroblasts: changes with age and hyperoxia

, 1998
Elastic fibers are thought to provide structural support for secondary septa as the lung undergoes the transition from the saccular to the alveolar stage.

Structure and properties of recombinant human tropoelastin, domain 26A and mutant forms [PDF]

, 2000
This thesis outlines a series of investigations of the structure and properties of full-length tropoelastin, intermolecular interactions of tropoelastin and the effects of an inherited disorder on the association properties of human ...

Biochemistry of tropoelastin and elastin

Biochemistry of tropoelastin and elastin. Elastin is the main protein responsible for the elasticity of vertebrate tissues. The Weiss Lab makes large quantities of full-length tropoelastin, which is crosslinked to make elastin.
