Requirement of Dynactin p150Glued Subunit for the Functional Integrity of the Keratinocyte Microparasol
Open accessAbstract
The keratinocyte microparasol, composed of a perinuclear microtubular/melano-phagolysosomal complex, protects the nucleus from UV-induced DNA damage. We have previously demonstrated that cytoplasmic dynein is the motor involved in the perinuclear-directed aggregation of phagocytosed melanosomes. Dynactin, of which p150(Glued) is the major subunit, can link directly to microtubules and links organelles to dynein at different domains. To further define the mechanism of the microparasol, we transfected siRNA targeted against p150(Glued) into human keratinocytes cultured with 0.5 mm fluorescent microspheres and performed time-lapse analysis, confocal immunolocalization, and Western immunoblotting after 24 and 48 hours. Western blots revealed a significant knockdown of the p150(Glued) subunit. The knockdown decreased p150(Glued) colocalization with microtubules and decreased perinuclear positioning of the convergent microtubular framework. It also inhibited perinuclear aggregation of phagocytosed fluorescent microspheres and reduced mean centripetal microsphere displacement. The findings provide evidence that dynactin p150(Glued) plays an important role in the functional integrity of the keratinocyte microparasol.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
