cDNA cloning of myosin heavy chain isoforms from carp fast skeletal muscle and their gene expression associated with temperature acclimation.
We have isolated cDNA clones encoding fast skeletal muscle myosin heavy chains of carp acclimated to 10, 20 and 30 degrees C for over 5 weeks. All clones covered at least the full length of L-meromyosin, the C-terminal part of the myosin molecule. Nucleotide sequence analysis on cDNA clones showed three types of 3' untranslated sequences, demonstrating that carp expresses at least three myosin ...
متن کاملDeveloping Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Share Fast-Skeletal Myosin Heavy Chain and Cardiac Troponin-I Expression
Skeletal muscle derived stem cells (MDSCs) transplanted into injured myocardium can differentiate into fast skeletal muscle specific myosin heavy chain (sk-fMHC) and cardiac specific troponin-I (cTn-I) positive cells sustaining recipient myocardial function. We have recently found that MDSCs differentiate into a cardiomyocyte phenotype within a three-dimensional gel bioreactor. It is generally ...
متن کاملNovel epigenetic regulation of skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain genes. Focus on "Differential epigenetic modifications of histones at the myosin heavy chain genes in fast and slow skeletal muscle fibers and in response to muscle unloading".
SKELETAL MUSCLE IS A HIGHLY plastic tissue, capable of responding and adapting to a variety of physiological stimuli, e.g., muscle loading and unloading. Multiple functional phenotypes of skeletal muscle exist throughout the body at the same time. For example, muscles required for antigravity support of the skeleton or sustained locomotion are generally slow-contracting, low force-generating, a...
متن کاملRegulation of myosin heavy chain genes in the heart.
Advances in our knowledge of the regulation of cardiac myosin isoforms made possible by molecular cloning of the alpha- and beta-MHCs genes are reviewed. Expression of these genes in heart does not seem to require MyoD or related proteins of the skeletal muscle myogenic program. Cardiac MHC genes are under the control of T3, which stimulates transcription of the alpha-MHC gene and inhibits beta...
متن کاملA canonical sequence organization at the 5'-end of the myosin heavy chain genes.
The sequences encoding the 5'-ends of three chicken fast-white myosin heavy chain (MHC) genes have been determined. When compared with the sequences of two other MHC genes it is apparent that both the exon and intron positions are conserved. All exon sequences are highly conserved; there is absolute amino acid conservation in the second and third exons. In addition, while the first and third in...
