Position of nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA) mutations predicts the natural history of MYH9-related disease.
MYH9-related disease (MYH9-RD) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder caused by mutations in MYH9, the gene for the heavy chain of nonmuscle myosin IIA (NMMHC-IIA). All patients present from birth with macrothrombocytopenia, but in infancy or adult life, some of them develop sensorineural deafness, presenile cataracts, and/or progressive nephritis leading to end-stage renal failure. No consisten...
متن کاملRedox Regulation of Nonmuscle Myosin Heavy Chain during Integrin Engagement
On the basis of our findings reporting that cell adhesion induces the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after integrin engagement, we were interested in identifying redox-regulated proteins during this process. Mass spectrometry analysis led us to identify nonmuscle myosin heavy chain (nmMHC) as a target of ROS. Our results show that, while nmMHC is reduced in detached/rounded cells, ...
متن کاملBackground Strain and the Differential Susceptibility of Podocyte-Specific Deletion of Myh9 on Murine Models of Experimental Glomerulosclerosis and HIV Nephropathy
We previously reported that podocyte-specific deletion of Myh9 (conventional myosin heavy chain 2A) in C57BL/6 mice does not cause spontaneous kidney disease but instead results in a predisposition to glomerulosclerosis in response to a second model of glomerular injury. In contrast, other investigators reported that podocyte-specific deletion of Myh9 (PodΔMyh9) resulted in spontaneous glomerul...
متن کاملMyosin heavy chain-9-related disorders (MYH9-RD): a case report
Myosin heavy chain-9-related disorders (MYH9-RDs) are a group of autosomal-dominant disorders caused by mutations in the MYH9 gene. The features include congenital macrothrombocytopaenia, inclusion bodies in neutrophils and a variable risk of developing sensorineural deafness, progressive renal impairment and presenile cataracts. A 44-year-old Caucasian man was initially thought to have Alport'...
متن کاملHeavy chain myosin 9-related disease (MYH9 -RD): neutrophil inclusions of myosin-9 as a pathognomonic sign of the disorder.
MYH9-related disease ( MYH9-RD) is an autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia with giant platelets variably associated with young-adult onset of progressive sensorineural hearing loss, presenile cataract, and renal damage. MYH9-RD is caused by mutations of MYH9 , the gene encoding for non-muscle heavy-chain myosin-9. Wild-type and mutant myosin-9 aggregate as cytoplasmic inclusions in patients' leu...
