A domain-specific usherin/collagen IV interaction may be required for stable integration into the basement membrane superstructure.
Usherin is a basement membrane protein encoded by the gene associated with Usher syndrome type IIa, the most common deaf/blind disorder. This report demonstrates a specific interaction between type IV collagen and usherin in the basement membrane, with a 1:1 stoichiometry for binding. Genetic and biochemical approaches were used to explore the role of type IV collagen binding in usherin functio...

Study of Basement Membrane Type IV Collagen Appearance in the Brain Choroids Plexus of Mouse Fetuses
Introduction & Objective: The brain choroids plexus (BCP) plays an important role in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, but its characterization is still incomplete. Collagen type IV, is one of the most important proteins of basement membrane (BM) and extracellular matrix (ECM) of BCP. In the present study we investigated the differential period of type IV collagen in basement membrane...
متن کاملAdipoRon may be benefit for atherosclerosis prevention
Atherosclerosis has serious role in coronary arteries disease,so it is important to establish effective strategies for prevention or even treatment of atherosclerosis. Adiponectin, as one of the most abundant adipokines, has insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Disturbed adiponectin actions through its receptor, (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) may be involved in atheros...
متن کاملDomain and basement membrane specificity of a monoclonal antibody against chicken type IV collagen
A monoclonal antibody, IV-IA8, generated against chicken type IV collagen has been characterized and shown to bind specifically to a conformational-dependent site within a major, triple helical domain of the type IV molecule. Immunohistochemical localization of the antigenic determinant with IV-IA8 revealed that the basement membranes of a variety of chick tissues were stained but that the base...
