Transglutaminases: crosslinking enzymes with pleiotropic functions
Laszlo Lorand,Robert M. Graham +1 more
TL;DR: Having knowledge of transglutaminases is essential for understanding the aetiologies of diverse hereditary diseases of the blood and skin, and various autoimmune, inflammatory and degenerative conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural origins of fibrin clot rheology.
TL;DR: Clot rigidity was enhanced by increasing fiber and branchpoint densities at greater fibrinogen concentrations, and network morphology is only minimally altered by the FXIIIa-catalyzed cross-linking reaction, which seems to augment clot rigidity most likely by the stiffening of existing fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transglutaminases and Disease: Lessons From Genetically Engineered Mouse Models and Inherited Disorders
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of recent insights into the physiology and pathophysiology of TG family members that have come from studies of genetically engineered mouse models and/or inherited disorders is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A filter paper assay for transamidating enzymes using radioactive amine substrates
TL;DR: A filter paper assay was developed for measuring the activity of transamidating enzymes by the incorporation of radioactive amine substrates into proteins, analogous to those generally employed for monitoring the enzymic coupling of isotopic groups to proteins, such as in the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of casein or histone.
