Maintaining epithelial integrity
The Short stop (Shot/Kakapo) spectraplakin is a giant cytoskeletal protein, which exists in multiple isoforms with characteristics of both spectrin and plakin superfamilies. Previously characterized Shot isoforms are similar to spectrin and dystrophin, with an actin-binding domain followed by spectrin repeats. We describe a new large exon within the shot locus, which encodes a series of plakin ...
متن کاملMaintaining genome integrity.
Introduction Genomes have always been vulnerable to damage from intraand extracellular sources such as oxidative species generated by cell metabolism, spontaneous base loss or modification, radiation and chemicals (Friedberg et al, 2005a). As a result, mechanisms to cope with DNA damage developed early in evolution and have been conserved. Organisms need some genome stability, but must allow mu...
متن کاملTrain the trainers: maintaining integrity
Public Health Wales runs a successful brief intervention training programme. Over 3000 people have been trained to deliver alcohol brief interventions across Wales by the small (2 man) central Public Health Wales alcohol team. However, the team cannot keep up with demand from the 7 Welsh Health Boards to receive training. In order to address this, a train-the-trainers course has been developed,...

متن کاملdeltaNp63 Has a Role in Maintaining Epithelial Integrity in Airway Epithelium
The upper airways are lined with a pseudostratified bronchial epithelium that forms a barrier against unwanted substances in breathing air. The transcription factor p63, which is important for stratification of skin epithelium, has been shown to be expressed in basal cells of the lungs and its ΔN isoform is recognized as a key player in squamous cell lung cancer. However, the role of p63 in for...
