Background
Plectin is a large cytolinker protein composed of an N-terminal actin-binding domain, a central rod-shaped α-helical coiled-coil region, and a C-terminal intermediate filament-binding domain, with multiple alternatively spliced isoforms enabling diverse subcellular localization; its functional core lies in bridging microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubule networks to maintain cellular mechanical stability, while also participating in hemidesmosome assembly, myofibril integrity maintenance, and signal transduction regulation. Clinically, PLEC gene mutations cause epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) and its variant subtypes with muscular dystrophy, pyloric atresia, or cardiomyopathy, collectively termed "plectinopathies," with pathological mechanisms involving dermal-epidermal junction disruption, desmin aggregation in muscle fibers, and mitochondrial dysfunction, while recent therapeutic strategies such as chemical chaperone approaches have provided new directions for treatment.
