Primary structure of keratinocyte transglutaminase.
The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the coding regions of human and rat keratinocyte transglutaminases (protein-glutamine: amine gamma-glutamyltransferase; EC 2.3.2.13) have been determined. These yield proteins of approximately 90 kDa that are 92% identical, indicative of the conservation of important structural features. Alignments of amino acid sequences show substantial simil...
متن کاملKeratinocyte transglutaminase in proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
PURPOSE Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is an excessive wound-healing process and the major complication in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The present study was designed to investigate the expression of keratinocyte transglutaminase (kTgase) in PVR membranes and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and to evaluate its expression in response to growth factors known to be increased in...
متن کاملLamellar ichthyosis is genetically heterogeneous--cases with normal keratinocyte transglutaminase.
We recently identified mutations of the keratinocyte transglutaminase gene as a cause of lamellar ichthyosis. In this study we analyzed two sporadic cases of lamellar ichthyosis. Transglutaminase activity measured in membrane extracts from cultured differentiating keratinocytes was within the range observed in normal individuals. Western blot and Northern blot analysis revealed normal size and ...
متن کاملProteolytic release of membrane bound intercellular regulators.
The ectodomains of numerous proteins are released from cells by proteolysis to yield soluble intercellular regulators. The responsible protease, tumor necrosis factor-á converting enzyme (TACE), has been identified only in the case when tumor necrosis factor-á (TNFá) is released. Analyses of cells lacking this metalloproteinase-disintegrin revealed an expanded role for TACE in the processing of...
متن کاملDefective stratum corneum and early neonatal death in mice lacking the gene for transglutaminase 1 (keratinocyte transglutaminase).
The stratum corneum of the skin serves as an effective barrier for maintenance of the internal milieu against the external environment. At the cell periphery of the stratum corneum is the cell envelope, a highly insoluble membranous structure composed of precursor proteins cross-linked by epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine bonds. Transglutaminase 1 (TGase 1; keratinocyte TGase), a membrane-bound is...
