Informations sur le gène

Description générale

α-Actinin exists as a rod-shaped antiparallel dimer with two elongated subunits. The domain region contains an N-terminal actin-binding domain with tandem calponin homology domains, a central tandem 3-helix motifs, and EF-hand motifs at C-terminus. It belongs to the spectrin superfamily and is localized in actin structures.

Application

α-Actinin from chicken gizzard has been used:
  • as an antigen to coat plates for the capture of anti-actinin antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from tumor cell line clones
  • in in vitro motility experiments to test its effect on actin filament movement
  • to coat cantilevers for strengthening fluorescently labeled actin filaments in force measurement studies

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

α-Actinin binds actin and has the ability to crosslink actin cytoskeleton. It also plays a key role in the structural maintenance of the Z-disk of striated muscle.

Package size based on protein content

Forme physique

Suspension in 2 M (NH4)2SO4 containing 20 mM Tris acetate, pH 7.6, 20 mM sodium chloride, 0.1 mM EDTA, 15 mM β-mercaptoethanol and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride

Notes préparatoires

Alpha-actinin ammonium sulfate suspension should be mixed sufficiently and further diluted prior to use. Protein precipitate will be present in solution with high protein concentrations.

Prepared using a modification of the procedure of Neidel, J.E. and Cuatrecasas, P., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 91, 152 (1979).

Cryoelectron microscopy was used to obtain a 3-D image at 2.0 nm resolution of 2-D arrays of smooth muscle alpha-actinin. The reconstruction reveals a well-resolved long central domain with 90 degrees of left-handed twist and near 2-fold symmetry. However, the

The contribution of three actin cross-linking proteins, alpha-actinin (alphaA), gelation factor (ABP-120), and the 34 kDa actin-bundling protein to cellular functions has been studied in three single mutant (alphaA-, 120-, and 34-) and three double mutant (alphaA-/120-, 34-/alphaA-, 34-/120-) strains

The Drosophila Alp/Enigma family protein Zasp52 localizes to myotendinous junctions and Z-discs. It is required for terminal muscle differentiation and muscle attachment. Its vertebrate ortholog ZASP/Cypher also localizes to Z-discs, interacts with α-actinin through its PDZ domain, and is involved

Muscle, motor unit and muscle fibre type-specific differences in force-generating capacity have been investigated for many years, but there is still no consensus regarding specific differences between slow- and fast-twitch muscles, motor units or muscle fibres. This is probably related

Critical illness myopathy (CIM) represents a common consequence of modern intensive care, negatively impacting patient health and significantly increasing health care costs; however, there is no treatment available apart from symptomatic and supportive interventions. The chaperone co-inducer BGP-15 has previously
