Recombinant Human Desmoplakin protein (His tag)

일반 정보

기능

A component of desmosome cell-cell junctions which are required for positive regulation of cellular adhesion (PubMed : 25733715). Critical for cell-cell adhesion in early stage blastocysts and progression through proamniotic cavity formation (By similarity). Not required for preimplantation morphogenic process in blastocysts (By similarity). Required for keratin filament anchoring at the desmosome junction and subsequent organization of the keratin intermediate filament network within the cytoplasm (By similarity). Required for anchoring of desmosomes to the microtubule architecture, via its interaction with NIN (By similarity). Plays a key role in adhesion and organization of the dermal epithelial barrier (By similarity). Critical for the maintenance of the neural tube structure following formation and organization of the neuroepithelium (By similarity). Facilitates outgrowth and repair of motor neuron fibers in regenerating axons following injury, probably by promoting recruitment of a complex containing DSP, CDH2, VIM and JUP to the outgrowth tips (By similarity). Required for the normal formation of the heart, also required for development of vascular capillary structures and intact endothelial cell barriers (By similarity). Regulates profibrotic gene expression in cardiomyocytes via activation of the MAPK14/p38 MAPK signaling cascade and increase in TGFB1 protein abundance (By similarity). Maintains cardiac rhythmicity by ensuring correct cell-cell adhesion within the sinoatrial node, via stabilization of protein components of both desmosome and Gap junctions (By similarity). Involved in maintaining the protein stability and recruitment of GJA1 to functional gap junctions, via inhibition of KRAS-mediated MAPK1/MAPK3 phosphorylation of GJA1 (By similarity). Required for the survival and maintenance of germ cells in the gonads during embryonic development (By similarity). Binds to telomere DNA (via C-terminus) and acts to prevent telomere damage and maintain telomere length via its interaction with TRF2 (PubMed : 31595153).

Belongs to the plakin or cytolinker family.

Post-translational modifications

Methylation by PRMT1 promotes GSK3B-mediated phosphorylation cascade of multiple serine residues at the C-terminus resulting in trafficking to desmosome cell-cell junctions.. Phosphorylation by GSK3B occurs sequentially from Ser-2849 along multiple serine residue at the C-terminus. Hyperphosphorylation by GSK3B results in recruitment to desmosome cell-cell junction and promotion of intercellular adhesion (PubMed:25733715). Phosphorylation at Ser-2849 increases association with intermediate filament cytokeratin, potentially facilitating interaction between desmosome junctions and intermediate filament architecture (PubMed:33596089).
