Abstract excerpt
Kindler syndrome (KS) results from pathogenic loss-of-function mutations in the KIND1 gene, which encodes kindlin-1, a focal adhesion and actin cytoskeleton-related protein. How and why abnormalities in kindlin-1 disrupt keratinocyte cell biology in KS, however, is not yet known. In this study, we identified two previously unreported binding proteins of kindlin-1: kindlin-2 and migfilin. Co-immunoprecipitation...
