Adaptor protein 14-3-3s have isoform-specific binding partners and roles. We reported 14-3-3{beta} interacts with FKBP12 and synaptopodin to maintain the structure of actin fibers in podocytes. However, differential roles of 14-3-3 isoforms in kidneys are unclear. Herein, we showed that 14-3-3{beta} was dominantly co-localized with FKBP12 in foot processes and was partially co-localized with Par3 at slit diaphragm in podocytes. 14-3-3{beta} interacted with Par3, and FKBP12 bound to 14-3-3{beta} competitively with Par3. Although deletion of 14-3-3{beta} enhanced the interaction of Par3-Par6, it altered actin fiber structure and processes. 14-3-3{beta} and synaptopodin were downregulated in podocyte injury models. 14-3-3{sigma} in podocytes interacted with vimentin in primary processes but not with the actin-associated proteins in foot processes. Deletion of 14-3-3{sigma} altered vimentin fiber structure and processes. 14-3-3{sigma} and vimentin were upregulated in the early phase of podocyte injury models but were decreased in the end stage. Together, the precise localization of 14-3-3{beta} at actin cytoskeleton plays a role in maintaining foot processes and Par complex in podocytes. 14-3-3{sigma} at vimentin cytoskeleton is essential for maintaining primary processes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
