Tropomodulin: a cytoskeletal protein that binds to the end of erythrocyte tropomyosin and inhibits tropomyosin binding to actin
Human erythrocytes contain a Mr 43,000 tropomyosin-binding protein that is unrelated to actin and that has been proposed to play a role in modulating the association of tropomyosin with spectrin-actin complexes based on its stoichiometry in the membrane skeleton of one Mr 43,000 monomer per short actin filament (Fowler, V. M. 1987. J. Biol. Chem. 262:12792-12800). Here, we describe an improved ...
متن کاملEndostatin binds biglycan and LDL and interferes with LDL retention to the subendothelial matrix during atherosclerosis.
Retention of lipoproteins to proteoglycans in the subendothelial matrix (SEM) is an early event in atherosclerosis. We recently reported that collagen XVIII and its proteolytically released fragment endostatin (ES) are differentially depleted in blood vessels affected by atherosclerosis. Loss of collagen XVIII/ES in atherosclerosis-prone mice enhanced plaque neovascularization and increased the...
متن کاملAntiangiogenesis signals by endostatin.
Endostatin is a potent endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor that induces regression of tumors in mice. Neither an extracellular receptor for endostatin nor intracellular signals that result in the regression of tumor vascular beds have been identified. We demonstrate that endostatin, but not angiostatin, at comparable concentrations to those used in in vivo animal trials, rapidly down-regulates ma...
متن کاملTropomyosin antibody: the specific localization of tropomyosin in nonmuscle cells
An antibody against purified chicken skeletal muscle tropomyosin is used in indirect immunofluorescence to visualize the localization of tropomyosin in a variety of nonmuscle cells. The antibody produces a fluorescent pattern which is very similar to that obtained with an actin-specific antibody. This pattern is composed of fluorescent fibers which are shown to be coincident with the fibers see...
متن کاملTropomyosin keeps actin tough
Actin (green) and ADF/cofilin (red) are disorganized in the absence of tropomyosin (bottom). ntracellular parasites must walk a fine line, invading and exploiting a host cell without killing it too quickly. On page 1029, Glomski et al. show how a single amino acid determines not only the pH I optimum of a bacterial hemolysin, but also the virulence of an important pathogen. The data help explai...
