Myosin subunit composition in human developing muscle.
Previous pyrophosphate-gel studies have reported the existence of embryonic neonatal myosin isoenzymes in human developing muscle. The present investigation was undertaken to characterize their subunit composition more precisely. Two immature muscle myosins are contrasted with adult myosin: neonatal myosin and foetal myosin. The neonatal form of myosin is weakly cross-reactive with rabbit slow ...
متن کاملSlow myosin in developing rat skeletal muscle
Through S1 nuclease mapping using a specific cDNA probe, we demonstrate that the slow myosin heavy-chain (MHC) gene, characteristic of adult soleus, is expressed in bulk hind limb muscle obtained from the 18-d rat fetus. We support these results by use of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) which is highly specific to the adult slow MHC. Immunoblots of MHC peptide maps show the same peptides, uniquely ...
متن کاملSubunit exchange between smooth muscle myosin filaments
Myosin filaments are in equilibrium with a "critical concentration" of monomer (Josephs & Harrington, 1966). Our recent studies with smooth muscle myosin minifilaments and larger synthetic filaments suggest that this monomer pool undergoes more extensive exchange with the polymer than would occur if only polymer ends were involved. This observation provides a possible explanation for the behavi...
متن کاملMyosin heavy chain composition of muscle spindles in human biceps brachii.
Data on the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) composition of human muscle spindles are scarce in spite of the well-known correlation between MyHC composition and functional properties of skeletal muscle fibers. The MyHC composition of intrafusal fibers from 36 spindles of human biceps brachii muscle was studied in detail by immunocytochemistry with a large battery of antibodies. The MyHC content of iso...
متن کاملNoninvasive estimation of myosin heavy chain composition in human skeletal muscle.
PURPOSE Information on muscle fiber type composition is of great importance in muscle physiology and athletic performance. Because there are only a few techniques available that noninvasively and accurately provide an estimate of muscle fiber type composition, the development of additional and alternative approaches is required. METHODS Twenty-seven participants (21 men, 6 women) with an aver...
