A role of plakophilins in the regulation of translationAnnika Wolf
Institute for Pathophysiology, Division of Pathobiochemistry, Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg, Halle, Germany
Cell Cycle 9:2973-8. 2010..Elucidating the regulation of plakophilin's function in adhesion versus translation will help to understand this context-dependent phenomenon...
Plakophilin 1 stimulates translation by promoting eIF4A1 activityAnnika Wolf
Division of Pathobiochemistry, Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg, 06097 Halle, Germany
J Cell Biol 188:463-71. 2010..In conclusion, these findings identify PKP1 as a regulator of translation and proliferation via modulation of eIF4A1 activity and suggest that PKP1 controls cell growth in physiological and pathological conditions...
A nuclear function for plakophilin-1 in the DNA damage response?Mechthild Hatzfeld
Division of Pathobiochemistry, University of Halle, Halle, Germany
J Invest Dermatol 130:2538-40. 2010..In this issue, Sobolik-Delmaire et al. address the nuclear function of Plakophilin-1. The authors show that Plakophilin-1 interacts with ssDNA in vitro and may have a function in protecting cells from DNA damage...
