Tonofilament protein, a keratin from rat epidermis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tonofilament protein from newborn rat epidermis was found to be antigenically related to mouse keratins. Tonofilament protein, like keratins, could be extracted with 8 M urea in Tris buffer. The yield was enhanced by the presence of dithiothreitol. A higher molecular weight (64,000 dalton) protein antigenically cross-reacting with tonofilament protein but with a slightly different amino acid composition was also extracted.

A human keratin 10 knockout causes recessive epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a blistering skin disease inherited as an autosomal-dominant trait. The disease is caused by genetic defects of the epidermal keratin K1 or K10, leading to an impaired tonofilament network of differentiating epidermal cells. Here, we describe for the first time a kindred with recessive inheritance of EHK. Sequence analysis revealed a homozygous nonsense mut...
متن کاملTonofilament Protein from Newborn Rat Epidermis
A novel extraction procedure, previously used on the cell walls of dermatophytes, has been applied to the epidermis of newborn rat. A leucine-rich fraction was isolated which contained over 60% of the total epidermal radioactivity from [“Hlleucine in 15 to 20% of the total protein. This fraction was further purified by chromatography in DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200. The protein with the hi...
متن کاملKeratin 9 is a component of the perinuclear ring of the manchette of rat spermatids.
Previous work in our laboratory has shown that a 62- to 64-kDa protein was a major component of the perinuclear ring of manchettes fractionated from rat spermatids. Mass spectrometry analysis of this protein indicated the presence of a glycine-rich domain homologous to human keratin 9 (K9). Several antibodies to K9, raised against synthetic peptides of human K9, recognized the 64- to 62-kDa pro...
متن کاملEvaluation of chitosan gel on burn wound healing and keratinocytes function
Skin burns are common skin injuries that can result from exposure to various sources of heat by which, depending on the cause, different degrees of burns are generated. In restoration of superficial burns by re-epithelialization, the skin is rebuilt, but the skin color is different than the healthy tissue. Keratinocytes represent the major cells of the epidermis. These cells are sourced from ec...
متن کاملExpression of specific keratin markers by rabbit corneal, conjunctival, and esophageal epithelia during vitamin A deficiency
Using an in vivo rabbit model system, we have studied the morphological and biochemical changes in corneal, conjunctival, and esophageal epithelia during vitamin A deficiency. Light and electron microscopy showed that the three epithelia undergo different degrees of morphological keratinization. Corneal and conjunctival epithelia became heavily keratinized, forming multiple layers of superficia...
