The Kinase Domain of Titin Controls Muscle Gene Expression and Protein Turnover
- Stephan Lange, Fengqing Xiang, +16 authors M. Gautel
- Chemistry, Biology
- Science
- 10 June 2005
The giant sarcomeric protein titin contains a protein kinase domain (TK) ideally positioned to sense mechanical load. We identified a signaling complex where TK interacts with the zinc-finger protein… Expand
Mutations affecting the cytoplasmic functions of the co-chaperone DNAJB6 cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy
- J. Sarparanta, P. Jonson, +18 authors B. Udd
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 31 January 2012
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1D (LGMD1D) was linked to chromosome 7q36 over a decade ago, but its genetic cause has remained elusive. Here we studied nine LGMD-affected families from Finland,… Expand
The myotonic dystrophies: molecular, clinical, and therapeutic challenges
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common type of muscular dystrophy in adults and is characterised by progressive myopathy, myotonia, and multiorgan involvement. Two genetically distinct entities have… Expand
Mitochondrial DNA polymerase W748S mutation: a common cause of autosomal recessive ataxia with ancient European origin.
- A. H. Hakonen, Silja Heiskanen, +14 authors A. Suomalainen
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 September 2005
Mutations in the catalytic subunit of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) have been found to be an important cause of neurological disease. Recently, we and collaborators reported a new… Expand
Interactions with titin and myomesin target obscurin and obscurin-like 1 to the M-band – implications for hereditary myopathies
- A. Fukuzawa, S. Lange, +5 authors M. Gautel
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Cell Science
- 1 June 2008
Obscurin, a giant modular muscle protein implicated in G-protein and protein-kinase signalling, can localize to both sarcomeric Z-disks and M-bands. Interaction of obscurin with the Z-disk is… Expand
Phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations of the mitochondrial polymerase gamma gene.

- Brain : a journal of neurology
- 2006
Mutations in the gene coding for the catalytic subunit of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymerase gamma (POLG1) have recently been described in patients with diverse clinical presentations,… Expand
The gene disrupted in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome encodes SIL1, an HSPA5 cochaperone
- Anna-Kaisa Anttonen, I. Mahjneh, +15 authors Anna‐Elina Lehesjoki
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 13 November 2005
We identified the gene underlying Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome, which is characterized by cerebellar ataxia, progressive myopathy and cataracts. We identified four disease-associated, predicted… Expand
Histopathological differences of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and PROMM/DM2
Muscle biopsy findings in DM2 have been reported to be similar to those in DM1. The authors used myosin heavy chain immunohistochemistry and enzyme histochemistry for fiber type differentiation on… Expand
Misregulated alternative splicing of BIN1 is associated with T tubule alterations and muscle weakness in myotonic dystrophy
- C. Fugier, Arnaud F. Klein, +31 authors N. Charlet-Berguerand
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 1 June 2011
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common muscular dystrophy in adults and the first recognized example of an RNA-mediated disease. Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM1) and myotonic dystrophy of type 1… Expand
Haploinsuffciency for Znf9 in Znf9+/- mice is associated with multiorgan abnormalities resembling myotonic dystrophy.
- W. Chen, Y. Wang, Yoko Abe, L. Cheney, B. Udd, Yiping Li
- Medicine
- Journal of molecular biology
- 20 April 2007
Myotonic dystrophy type 2 is caused by a (CCTG)/(CCUG)n repeat expansion in the first intron of the ZNF9 gene. The pathomechanism for the myotonic dystrophies is not well understood and the role of… Expand
