Dystroglycan is a binding protein of laminin and merosin in peripheral nerve.
alpha-Dystroglycan, a 156 kDa dystrophin-associated glycoprotein, binds laminin in skeletal muscle. Here we demonstrate that alpha-dystroglycan is a binding protein of laminin (A/B1/B2) and merosin (M/B1/B2) in peripheral nerve. Immunocytochemical analysis demonstrates the localization of alpha-dystroglycan and merosin surrounding myelin sheath of peripheral nerve fibers. Biochemical analysis d...
متن کاملConstruction and Analysis of Tissue-Specific Protein-Protein Interaction Networks in Humans
We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...
متن کاملCross-linking of laminin-nidogen complexes by tissue transglutaminase. A novel mechanism for basement membrane stabilization.
The laminin-nidogen complex, a major component of basement membranes, incorporates [3H]putrescine and monodansylcadaverine in the presence of guinea pig liver transglutaminase. Label was detected in nidogen in the isolated, as well as in the complexed form, but not in laminin. The incorporation proceeds in a time-dependent manner at a rate similar to that achieved with N,N-dimethylcasein, a wel...
متن کاملLaminin: the crux of basement membrane assembly
Basement membranes (BMs) are cell-associated sheet-like extracellular matrices covering the basal aspect of all epithelia and endothelia and surrounding muscle, fat, and peripheral nerve cells. BMs are essential for tissue formation in all animals. They provide mechanical stability and barriers between different cell types and are critically involved in cell differentiation, survival, and migra...
متن کاملInteraction of lipopolysaccharides of Helicobacter pylori with basement membrane protein laminin.
The ability of hemagglutinating and poorly hemagglutinating strains of the gastroduodenal pathogen Helicobacter pylori to bind 125I-radiolabelled laminin was quantitated in a liquid phase assay. Although all strains bound laminin, some hemagglutinating strains were good binders of laminin (maximum of 31% binding), whereas poorly hemagglutinating strains bound intermediate to small amounts of la...
