Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24-1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep
(Elsevier, 2012-12-10)
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are major structural components of hair and wool fibres, and play a critical role in determining the properties of the fibre. While over 100 KAP genes that have been grouped into 27 KAP ...
Inhibition of storage pathology in prenatal CLN5-deficient sheep neural cultures by lentiviral gene therapy
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases caused by mutations in several different genes. Mutations in CLN5 cause a variant late-infantile human ...
Identification of the ovine KAP11-1 gene (KRTAP11-1) and genetic variation in its coding sequence
(Springer, 2011)
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a structural component of the wool fibre and form the matrix between the keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs). The gene encoding high sulphur-protein KAP11-1 has been identified in ...
Diversity of the glycine/tyrosine-rich keratin-associated protein 6 gene (KAP6) family in sheep
(Springer, 2011)
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of wool and variation in them may affect wool characteristics. In this study, we used PCR-SSCP to analyse the ovine KAP6 family which encodes glycine and ...
Conservation of complete trimethylation of lysine-43 in the rotor ring of c-subunits of metazoan adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthases
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2015-04-01)
The rotors of ATP synthases turn about 100 times every second. One essential component of the rotor is a ring of hydrophobic c-subunits in the membrane domain of the enzyme. The rotation of these c-rings is driven by a ...
The complexity of the ovine and caprine keratin-associated protein genes
(MDPI, 2021-12)
Sheep (Ovis aries) and goats (Capra hircus) have, for more than a millennia, been a source of fibres for human use, be it for use in clothing and furnishings, for insulation, for decorative and ceremonial purposes, or for ...
