Keratins turn over by ubiquitination in a phosphorylation-modulated fashion.
The Journal of cell biology - 1 May 2000
Ku N O, Omary M B
Abstract excerpt
Keratin polypeptides 8 and 18 (K8/18) are intermediate filament (IF) proteins that are expressed in glandular epithelia. Although the mechanism of keratin turnover is poorly understood, caspase-mediated degradation of type I keratins occurs during apoptosis and the proteasome pathway has been indirectly implicated in keratin turnover based on colocalization of keratin-ubiquitin antibody staining. Here we show...
