Phosphorylation of the desmoplakin COOH terminus negatively regulates its interaction with keratin intermediate filament networks.
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
Desmoplakins (DPs) are the most abundant proteins in the innermost portion of the desmosomal plaque and have been proposed to play a role in the attachment of intermediate filaments (IF) to cell-cell contact sites. Our previous results suggest that the globular end domains of DP perform dual functions: first, to target DP to the desmosome via the NH2 terminus and second, to attach IF to the desmosomal plaque via...
