Cell adhesion in desmosomes

Desmoplakin is a protein associated with desmosomes.[1]

Desmoplakin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DSP gene.[2][3]

Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that tightly link adjacent cells. Desmoplakin is an obligate component of functional desmosomes that anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomal plaques. The N-terminus of desmoplakin is required for localization to the desmosome and interacts with the N-terminal region of plakophilin 1 and plakoglobin. The C-terminus of desmoplakin binds with intermediate filaments. In the mid-region of desmoplakin, a coiled-coiled rod domain is responsible for homodimerization. Mutations in this gene are the cause of several cardiomyopathies and keratodermas as well as the autoimmune disease paraneoplastic pemphigus.[3]

Interactions

Desmoplakin has been shown to interact with Plakoglobin,[4][5] Vimentin,[6] Keratin 1,[6] Desmin,[6] PKP1[7] and PKP2.[8]
