Defining Elastic Fiber Interactions by Molecular Fishing
Deciphering interacting networks of the extracellular matrix is a major challenge. We describe an affinity purification and mass spectrometry strategy that has provided new insights into the molecular interactions of elastic fibers, essential extracellular assemblies that provide elastic recoil in dynamic tissues. Using cell culture models, we defined primary and secondary elastic fiber interac...
متن کاملSubmillisecond elastic recoil reveals molecular origins of fibrin fiber mechanics.
Fibrin fibers form the structural scaffold of blood clots. Thus, their mechanical properties are of central importance to understanding hemostasis and thrombotic disease. Recent studies have revealed that fibrin fibers are elastomeric despite their high degree of molecular ordering. These results have inspired a variety of molecular models for fibrin's elasticity, ranging from reversible protei...
متن کاملMolecular fishing: marine oligosaccharides
*Correspondence: Antonio Trincone, Istituto di Chimica Biomolecolare, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Via Campi Flegrei 34, I-80078 Pozzuoli, Napoli, Italy e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] It is difficult to overvalue the importance of polysaccharides for the great number of applicative fields in which they appeared. Oligosaccharides are relatively short compo...
متن کاملThe Elastic Fiber
The two morphologically different constituents of the mature elastic fiber, the central amorphous and the peripheral microfibrillar components, have been separated and partially characterized. A pure preparation of elastic fibers was obtained from fetal bovine ligamentum nuchae by extraction of the homogenized ligament with 5 M guanidine followed by digestion with collagenase. The resultant pre...
متن کاملDefining memories by their distinct molecular traces.
It is often stated that short-term memory is consolidated in a protein-synthesis-dependent manner into long-term memory. Alternatively, memories might consist of distinct molecular traces that last for different periods of time. These traces can be graded by their 'volatility'; traces encoded by activation of protein kinases are more volatile than traces encoded by morphological changes at pree...
