Calpain-mediated proteolysis of vimentin filaments is augmented in Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN) fibroblasts exposed to hypotonic stress
2022-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN) is a pediatric neurodegenerative disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor gigaxonin, which is encoded by the GAN ( KLHL16 ) gene. Gigaxonin regulates the degradation of multiple intermediate filament (IF) proteins, including neurofilaments, GFAP, and vimentin. In the absence of functional gigaxonin, GAN patients display abnormal cytoplasmic IF...
