Desmoplakin CSM models unravel mechanisms regulating the binding to intermediate filaments and putative therapeutics for cardiocutaneous diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest and death in young adults. It can be induced by different types of mutations throughout the desmoplakin gene including the R2834H mutation in the extreme carboxyterminus tail of desmoplakin (DP CT) which remains structurally uncharacterized and poorly understood. Here, we have created 3D models of DP CT which show the structural effects...
