Abstract excerpt
The bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (eBPAG1) is a constituent of hemidesmosomes (HDs), cell-substrate adhesion complexes in stratified epithelia. Although its COOH terminus interacts with intermediate filaments, its NH(2) terminus is important for its recruitment into HDs. To identify proteins that interact with the NH(2) terminus of human eBPAG1, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen, which uncovered a protein...
