Insights into the structure and dynamics of lysyl oxidase propeptide, a flexible protein with numerous partners [PDF]
, 2018 Lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of lysine and hydroxylysine residues in collagens and elastin, which is the first step of the cross-linking of these extracellular matrix proteins.

Changes in the physical structure and chain dynamics of elastin network in homocysteine-cultured arteries [PDF]
, 2009 The thermal and dielectric properties of the elastin network were investigated in arteries cultured with physiological and pathological concentrations of homocysteine, an aminoacid responsible of histological impairments in human arteries.

Developmental regulation of tropoelastin isoforms.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1988 The production of tropoelastin isoforms was examined by cell-free translation of nuchal ligament RNA from cows of various ages ranging from 110 days of gestation to adult. Tropoelastin polypeptides synthesized in vitro were immunoprecipitated with a specific monoclonal antibody and separated by high resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel ...

Measurement of MMP-9 and -12 degraded elastin (ELM) provides unique information on lung tissue degradation [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Elastin is an essential component of selected connective tissues that provides a unique physiological elasticity. Elastin may be considered a signature protein of lungs where matrix metalloprotease (MMP) -9-and -12, may be considered the ...

The matricellular functions of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) [PDF]
, 2009 The small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are biologically active components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), consisting of a protein core with leucine rich-repeat (LRR) motifs covalently linked to glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains.

Layer-by-layer biofabrication of coronary covered stents with clickable elastin-like recombinamers [PDF]
, 2019 Producción CientíficaCoronary artery disease is the leading cause of death around the world. Endovascular stenting is the preferred treatment option to restore blood flow in the coronary arteries due to the lower perioperative morbidity when compared ...

Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2017 The cross-linking of elastin by lysyl oxidase (LOX) family members is essential for the integrity and elasticity of elastic fibers, which play an important role in the characteristic resilience of various tissues. However, the temporal sequence of oxidation by LOX during elastic fiber formation is still incompletely understood.
