A loss-of-function cysteine mutant in fibulin-3 (EFEMP1) forms aberrant extracellular disulfide-linked homodimers and alters extracellular matrix composition
2022-02-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fibulin-3 (F3 or EFEMP1) is a disulfide-rich, secreted glycoprotein necessary for maintaining extracellular matrix (ECM) and connective tissue integrity. Two studies have identified distinct autosomal recessive F3 mutations in individuals with Marfan Syndrome-like phenotypes. Herein we characterized how one of these mutations, c.163T>C; p.Cys55Arg (C55R), disrupts F3 secretion, quaternary struct...
