High impact information on PLEC1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of PLEC1

 

Biological context of PLEC1

  • The corresponding human gene (PLEC1), consisting of 33 exons spanning >26 kb of genomic DNA was cloned, sequenced, and mapped to chromosomal band 8q24 [14].
  • Second, a heterozygous missense mutation (R2110W) in PLEC1 has been documented in patients with EB simplex of the Ogna type, a rare autosomal dominant disorder [15].
  • Transient transfection of full-length plectin cDNA converted these aggregates to thin filaments, which exhibited diffuse cytoplasmic distribution [4].
  • We show here sequestering of receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) to the cytoskeleton through the cytoskeletal linker protein plectin during the initial stages of cell adhesion [16].
  • Human plectin: organization of the gene, sequence analysis, and chromosome localization (8q24) [17].
 

Anatomical context of PLEC1

 

Associations of PLEC1 with chemical compounds

  • Our findings provide evidence for additional molecular heterogeneity in EB, and emphasize the importance of screening EB-PA patients not only for alpha6beta4 integrin but also for plectin deficiency [2].
  • In an in vitro overlay assay using recombinant plectin peptides spanning exons 2 to 15 the insertion of leucine resulted in markedly increased self-aggregation of plectin peptides [19].
  • Mutation 2727del14 is the first genetic defect described in PLEC1 that disrupts the plakin domain of plectin [20].
  • Sensitivity of plectin kinase activity to the inhibitor olomoucine, and two-dimensional tryptic peptide mapping of plectin phosphorylated by various kinase preparations suggested that the major plectin kinase activity in mitotic extracts is related to the cell cycle regulator kinase p34cdc2 [21].
  • The primary target of HG autoantibodies is BP180, a 180-kDa hemidesmosomal glycoprotein [22].
 

Physical interactions of PLEC1

  • Overexpression of the plectin IF-binding domain in the T cell line Jurkat induces the perinuclear aggregation of vimentin IFs [18].
  • Modeling and experimental validation of the binary complex of the plectin actin-binding domain and the first pair of fibronectin type III (FNIII) domains of the beta4 integrin [23].
  • Using postembedding immunogold electron microscopy, we previously demonstrated that autoantibodies against the 230-kDa BP antigen (BPAG1) bind to the intracellular hemidesmosomal component of normal skin, whereas those against the 180-kDa BP antigen (BPAG2) bind only along the plasma membrane of hemidesmosomes [24].
  • An additional observation was that the cytoskeletal cross-linker protein plectin-1 coimmunoprecipitated with PDE3A independently of 14-3-3 binding [25].
  • Intermyofibrillar and subsarcolemmal accumulations of assembled but highly unordered desmin filaments may be attributed to impaired desmin binding capability of the mutant plectin [26].
