Familial desminopathy: myopathy with accumulation of desmin-type intermediate filaments.
Two siblings developed cardiomyopathy several years before slowly progressive muscle weakness. Skeletal muscle biopsy specimens showed subsarcolemmal crescents of dark eosinophilic material in both type I and type II fibres. Immunohistochemically the subsarcolemmal material stained positively for the intermediate filament protein desmin and for the heat shock protein ubiquitin but for no other ...
متن کاملSevere myopathy mutations modify the nanomechanics of desmin intermediate filaments.
Mutations in the intermediate filament (IF) protein desmin cause severe forms of myofibrillar myopathy characterized by partial aggregation of the extrasarcomeric desmin cytoskeleton and structural disorganization of myofibrils. In contrast to prior expectations, we showed that some of the known disease-causing mutations, such as DesA360P, DesQ389P and DesD399Y, are assembly-competent and do al...
متن کاملImmunocytochemical analysis of intermediate filaments in embryonic heart cells with monoclonal antibodies to desmin
Monoclonal antibodies ( McAbs ) have been generated against a preparation of intermediate filament proteins (IFP) from adult chicken gizzard. Two antibodies, D3 and D76 , have been characterized in detail. They bind specifically to desmin but recognize different epitopes. In the adult chicken, both McAbs produced equivalent immunofluorescent staining patterns, reacting in frozen sections with a...
متن کاملAssociation of vimentin intermediate filaments with the centrosome.
SW-13 cells that lack cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IFs) were stably transfected with a human vimentin cDNA expression vector. Isolated subclones displayed two prevalent patterns of vimentin distribution as observed by indirect immuno-localization: (1) cytoplasmic filaments characteristic of a vimentin IF network; and (2) a distinct, juxtanuclear focus with limited filamentous extensions....
متن کاملAssociation of a transglutaminase-related antigen with intermediate filaments.
A mouse monoclonal antibody, G92.1.2, raised against guinea pig liver transglutaminase (TGase) recognizes an antigen present in primary mouse dermal fibroblasts. A filamentous pattern, bearing remarkable similarity to the vimentin intermediate filament (IF) network, is seen when these cells are fixed and processed for indirect immunofluorescence with the antibody. Double-label immunofluorescenc...
