الوصف: | AMACO (VWA2 protein), secreted by epithelial cells, is strongly expressed at basement membranes when budding or invagination occurs in embryos. In skin, AMACO associates with proteins of the Fraser complex, which form anchoring cords. These, during development, temporally stabilize the dermal–epidermal junction, pending the formation of collagen VII-containing anchoring fibrils. Fraser syndrome in humans results if any of the core members of the Fraser complex (Fras1, Frem1, Frem2) are mutated. Fraser syndrome is characterized by subepidermal blistering, cryptophthalmos, and syndactyly. In an attempt to determine AMACO function, we generated and characterized AMACO-deficient mice. In contrast to Fraser complex mutant mice, AMACO-deficient animals lack an obvious phenotype. The mutually interdependent basement membrane deposition of the Fraser complex proteins, and the formation of anchoring cords, are not affected. Furthermore, hair follicle development in newborn AMACO-deficient mice showed no gross aberration. Surprisingly, it appears that, while AMACO is a component of the anchoring cords, it is not essential for their formation or function. |
