Disease relevance of CRIM1

  • Because the E233X mutation expressed no activity and the K157Q allele had approximately 1% normal specific activity based on cross-reacting immunologic material (CRIM SA) in the baculovirus system, the residual activity in both patients was primarily from their complex alleles [1].
  • Giardiasis. A crimp in the life-style of campers, travelers, and others [2].
  • St 14 (DX S52) VNTR polymorphism in the Indian population and its application in carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of haemophilia A families [3].
  • Three residues which have been shown to be important for catalysis in bacterial toxins (e.g. R9, S52 and E129 in pertussis toxin) occur in a similar context also in RT6 (R126, S147 and E189) [4].
 

High impact information on CRIM1

  • CRIM1 is involved in endothelial cell capillary formation in vitro and is expressed in blood vessels in vivo [5].
  • Here, we report the further characterization of one selected gene called cysteine-rich motor neuron 1 (CRIM1) [5].
  • Crimp angle did not display any region-specific differences, or any difference between the rupture and intact tendons [6].
  • The present study examined the hypothesis that collagen fibril diameter and crimp angle in ruptured human Achilles tendons differed from that of intact ones [6].
  • Human CRIM1 maps to chromosome 2p21 close to the Spastic Paraplegia 4 locus [7].
 

Biological context of CRIM1

  • CRIM1, a novel gene encoding a cysteine-rich repeat protein, is developmentally regulated and implicated in vertebrate CNS development and organogenesis [7].
  • There is evidence that myofibroblasts may be involved in maintaining tissue homeostasis in the mature ligament e.g., by means of crimp formation [8].
  • In conclusion, the results suggest that the use of the "crimp" or the "slope" grip does not provide any benefit with respect to muscular fatigue in sport climbing [9].
  • An Arg to Trp substitution at codon 173 (CGG-->TGG in exon 10) and designated R173W, which leads to a CRIM-negative phenotype, has been reported in Swedish, Finnish, Scottish, and South African kindreds, and in a Nova Scotian proband with fatal AIP [10].
  • Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for bean traits and the number of ovules per ovary was carried out in cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) using three test-cross progenies derived from crosses between a lower Amazon Forastero male parent (Catongo) and three female parents: one upper Amazon Forastero (IMC78) and two Trinitario (DR1 and S52) [11].
 

Anatomical context of CRIM1

 

Associations of CRIM1 with chemical compounds

  • As the nephron elongates, Crim1 becomes expressed in the proximal end of the S-shaped bodies [12].
  • Controlled exercise and anabolic steroid administration produced the greatest change in crimp parameters and the largest theoretical toe limit strain [14].
  • BACKGROUND: The Mosaic bioprosthesis is a porcine valve combining several new features to improve hemodynamics and durability: a low profile stent for reduced flow obstruction, zero pressure fixation to maintain the natural collagen crimp, and the amino oleic acid antimineralization treatment to enhance durability [15].
  • Many of the titanium cables failed immediately under higher loads (0-100 lb) because of slipping of the crimp [16].
  • The largest amount of bowstringing was caused by the flexor digitorum profundus tendon in the crimp grip position being less using slope grip position (PIP joint extended) [17].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CRIM1

  • The cross-sectional area density and diameter distribution of fibrils were analyzed using stereological techniques of digitized electron microscopy biopsy cross-sections, while crimp angle was measured by the changing banding pattern of collagen fibers when rotated between crossed polars [6].
  • The snare was tightly closed to crimp the stent onto the collapsed balloon; this maneuver was repeated several times until the stent was contracted along its entire length [18].
  • After treatment, we measured tendon cellularity, crimp structure, and mechanical properties [19].
  • Polarized light microscopy showed a characteristic crimp pattern in excised tendons, but this was hardly detectable in unloaded tendons and not detectable in tendons fixed in situ under a 1-kg load [20].
  • We measured the velocity profiles for each prosthesis corresponding to four crimp densities obtained by stretching the grafts [21].
