This study explores the structure and function of fibrillin, an extracellular matrix protein, in Danio rerio (zebrafish). The study examines the role, expression pattern, and interactions of the microfibrillar proteins in the elastic extracellular matrix, as well as their contribution to cellular adhesion and motility.

Structure, function, and temporal expression of Fibrillin in Danio rerio. Christian Francom, Jeffrey Caldwell, Barbara Trask, Ph.D.
Extracellular Matrix Functions • Structure—tense or elastic • Cellular Adhesion • Cellular Motility • Molecular Reservoir
Elastic Extracellular Matrices • Component parts • Elastin • Microfibrils • Fibrillins • MAGPs • Fibulins • Other proteins and proteoglycans • Disorders involving the Elastic ECM • Elastin SVAS • MicrofibrilsMarfan Syndrome
Question • How do the microfibrillar proteins contribute to the function of the elastic extracellular matrix? • When and where is each expressed? • What inter-molecular interactions are maintained?
Model Organism • Zebrafish (Daniorerio) • External fertilization and development • Colorless during the first few days of development • Genome sequenced (although not assembled) • **first evolutionary organism to have functional elastic extracellular matrix • Easily maintained http://www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/staff/lewis/zfish3AgesSlide.jpg
