Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial cell keratins make up the type I (K9-K20) and type II (K1-K8) intermediate filament proteins. In glandular epithelia, K8 becomes phosphorylated on S73 ((71)LLpSPL) in human cultured cells and tissues during stress, apoptosis, and mitosis. Of all known proteins, the context of the K8 S73 motif (LLS/TPL) is unique to type II keratins and is conserved in epidermal K5/K6, esophageal K4, and type II hair...
