Descrição

Descrição geral

Cytokeratin-8/18 (UniProt: P05787/P05783; also known as Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8/ Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 18, Keratin-8/Keratin-18, K8/K18) is encoded by the KRT8/KRT18 (also known as CYK8/CYK18) gene (Gene ID: 3856/3875) in human. Cytokeratins 8 and 18 (K8/18) are simple epithelial cell-specific intermediate filament proteins. Cytokeratin-8 is a type II, neutral to basic, protein of the intermediate filament family that together with Cytokeratin-19 (KRT19) helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle. Cytokeratin-8 can undergo phosphorylation on three major serine residues: Serine 23, 431, and 73. Serine 23 is shown to be highly conserved in all type II keratins. Phosphorylation at Serine 73 is reported to increase during cellular stress, including hear and drug exposure. However, under normal conditions serine 73 remains largely dephosphorylated. Cytokeratin-8 can also undergo O-glycosylation in a cell cycle-dependent manner and glycosylation increases its solubility and reduces stability by inducing proteasomal degradation. Cytokeratin-18 is a type I, acidic, protein that is expressed in colon, placenta, and liver. Higher expression levels have been reported in lymph nodes of breast carcinoma. Cytokeratin-18 is involved in the uptake of thrombin-antithrombin complexes by hepatic cells. Upon phosphorylation, it plays a role in filament reorganization. It is proteolytically cleaved by caspases during epithelial cell apoptosis and this cleavage is shown to occur at Asp-238. Phosphorylation of cytokeratin-18 at serine 33 is shown to increase during mitosis in cultured cells and in regenerating liver. Serine 33 phosphorylation is considered to be essential for its association with 14-3-3 proteins and has a role in keratin organization and distribution. Cytokeratin-18 can undergo O-glycosylation, which results in its increased solubility and reduction in its stability. Mutations in KRT8 and KRT18 genes have been been linked to liver cirrhosis that is characterized by severe panlobular liver-cell swelling with Mallory body formation, prominent pericellular fibrosis, and marked deposits of copper.
