Involucrin cross-linking by transglutaminase 1. Binding to membranes directs residue specificity.
The transglutaminase 1 (TGase 1) enzyme is essential for the assembly of the cell envelope barrier in stratified squamous epithelia. It is usually bound to membranes, but to date most studies with it have involved solution assays. Here we describe an in vitro model system for characterizing the function of TGase 1 on the surface of synthetic lipid vesicles (SLV) of composition similar to eukary...
متن کاملCovalent cross-linking of secreted bovine thyroglobulin by transglutaminase.
Extracellular storage of thyroglobulin (TG) is a prerequisite for maintaining constant levels of thyroid hormones in vertebrates. Storage of TG within the follicle lumen is achieved by compactation and by the formation of covalent cross-links between TG molecules. In bovine thyroids, approximately 75% of the cross-links are other than disulfide bonds (J. Cell Biol. 180, 1071-1081). We have now ...
متن کاملTransglutaminase 5 cross-links loricrin, involucrin, and small proline-rich proteins in vitro.
Transglutaminases (TGases) are seven enzymes, cross-linking proteins by gamma-glutamil-epsilon-lysine bonds, four of which are expressed in the skin. A new member of the TGase family, TGase 5, has been identified recently, and in the present study we evaluated its role in keratinocyte differentiation in vitro. In addition to the previously described isoforms, full-length TGase 5 and Delta3 (del...
متن کاملCalmodulin regulates transglutaminase 2 cross-linking of huntingtin.
Striatal and cortical intranuclear inclusions and cytoplasmic aggregates of mutant huntingtin are prominent neuropathological hallmarks of Huntington's disease (HD). We demonstrated previously that transglutaminase 2 cross-links mutant huntingtin in cells in culture and demonstrated the presence of transglutaminase-catalyzed cross-links in the HD cortex that colocalize with transglutaminase 2 a...
متن کاملStructural Characterization of Transglutaminase-Catalyzed Casein Cross- Linking
In this study, we describe the characterization of microbial Transglutaminase -modified casein using a combination of immunological and proteomic techniques. Using 5-(biotinamido)pentylamine as an acyl acceptor probe, three Q residues of β-casein and one of αs1-casein were found to participate as acyl donors. However, no Q-residues were involved in network formation with κ-casein or αs2-casein....
