Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic fiber homeostasis requires lysyl oxidase-like 1 protein.
Xiao-Qing Liu,Yun Zhao,Jiangang Gao,Basil S. Pawlyk,Barry Starcher,Jeffrey A. Spencer,Hiromi Yanagisawa,J. Zuo,Tiansen Li +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking the protein lysyl oxidase–like 1 (LOXL1) do not deposit normal elastic fibers in the uterine tract post partum and develop pelvic organ prolapse, enlarged airspaces of the lung, loose skin and vascular abnormalities with concomitant tropoelastin accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ciliary Rootlet Maintains Long-Term Stability of Sensory Cilia
Jun Yang,Jiangang Gao,Michael Adamian,Xiao Hong Wen,Basil S. Pawlyk,Luo Zhang,Michael J. Sanderson,J. Zuo,Clint L. Makino,Tiansen Li +9 more
TL;DR: Targeted disruption in mice of the gene for rootletin, a component of the striated ciliary rootlet, revealed a striking fragility at the ciliary base in photoreceptors lacking rootlets, suggesting a primary function of the rootlet is to provide structural support for the cilium.
