“…This observation confirms previous biochemical studies where histidine-rich proteins were seen only in embryonic feathers and scales [Dhouailly et al, 1978;Gregg and Rogers, 1986;Presland et al, 1989;Barnes et al, 1995].…”

“…It is believed that the small ß-keratins of feathers allow for the formation of long and axial filaments of ß-keratin within the cytoplasm of feather cells, permitting their lengthening (the 'filant capacity' of FBK) [Brush, 1983]. The specific FBK immunolabeling in feathers (but not in scales) further suggests that the large ß-keratins of archosaurian scales were specifically modified when feathers evolved [Presland et al, 1989;Chuong et al, 2000Chuong et al, , 2003Sawyer et al, 2000;Prum, 2002;Sawyer and Knapp, 2003].…”

“…The alignment of the other sequences is one of several alternative possibilities. That shown maximizes the alignment of proline residues and is similar to the one used in our earlier studies a O'Donnell (1973) b O'Donnell and Inglis (1974) c Presland et al (1989): the same sequences is present in duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and pigeon (Columba livia)- Arai et al (1986) d Sawyer et al (2003) e Walker and Bridgen (1976) f Inglis et al (1987) g Whitbread et al (1991) h Toni et al (2007a) i Toni et al (2007b) j Dalla β-sheets in mammalian keratin…”

“…In birds, α-keratins (intermediate filament proteins) produce α-X-ray patterns that are present in various skin appendages (1). In chickens, five β-keratin subfamilies (claw, feather, feather-like, keratinocyte, and scale) have been classified by sequence heterogeneity and tissue-specific expression (14,24,25,(45)(46)(47). Each of these studies only provided rough profiles due to the limitations of older techniques.…”
