Plakoglobin, also known as junction plakoglobin or gamma-catenin, is a

arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
.

Structure

Human plakoglobin is 81.7 kDa in molecular weight and 745 amino acids long.

E-cadherin; in that context, it was called gamma-catenin. Plakoglobin forms distinct complexes with cadherins and desmosomal cadherins
.

Function

Plakoglobin is a major

intracellular catenin-binding sites to assemble desmosomes.[10][11]

Plakoglobin is essential for normal development of

cardiac fibers obtained from JUP-null embryonic mice had decreased passive compliance albeit normal attachment of sarcomeres to adherens junctions.[14]

In additional studies, an inducible

arrhythmias. Mice also showed a decrease in gap junction structures at intercalated discs.[17]

Intracellular plakoglobin expression is controlled by

glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and scaffold proteins adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and axin targets plakoglobin for degradation.[18][19][20][31–33]. The phosphorylated motif is recognized by β-TrCP, a ubiquitin ligase that targets plakoglobin 26S proteasome-dependent degradation.[21] Plakoglobin is also O-glycosylated near its N-terminal
destruction box.

Clinical significance

Mutation of the JUP gene encoding plakoglobin has been implicated as one of the causes of the

ARVD
by early adolescence.

It has become clear that

ARVC is a disease of the cardiac muscle desmosome; advances in molecular genetics have illuminated this notion.[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]

Studies investigating the role of plakoglobin in disease pathology have found that suppression of

siRNA led to the nuclear localization of plakoglobin, resulting in a reduction in Wnt signaling via Tcf/Lef1 and ensued pathogenesis of ARVC.[37] Specifically, adipogenic factor expression was induced and cardiac progenitor cells at the epicardium were differentiated to adipocytes.[38]

Non-invasive

Abnormal distribution of plakoglobin due to mutations in genes encoding for Desmoglein 1 and 3 have also been implicated in Pemphigus vulgaris.[41][42]

Interactions
