The sarcoglycan complex in skeletal muscle.
In skeletal muscle, the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex forms a link between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix that is critical for muscle integrity. Within this complex resides the sarcoglycan subcomplex, which consists of four transmembrane glycoproteins (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-sarcoglycan). During assembly, beta-sarcoglycan tightly associates with delta...
متن کاملMyosin isoforms in mammalian skeletal muscle.
Skeletal muscles of different mammalian species contain four major myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isoforms: the "slow" or beta-MHC and the three "fast" IIa-, IIx-, and IIb-MHCs; and three major myosin light-chain (MLC) isoforms, the "slow" MLC1s and the two "fast" MLC1f and MLC3f. The differential distribution of the MHCs defines four major fiber types containing a single MHC isoform and a number of ...
متن کاملAltered expression of skeletal muscle myosin isoforms in cancer cachexia.
Cachexia is commonly seen in cancer and is characterized by severe muscle wasting, but little is known about the effect of cancer cachexia on expression of contractile protein isoforms such as myosin. Other causes of muscle atrophy shift expression of myosin isoforms toward increased fast (type II) isoform expression. We injected mice with murine C-26 adenocarcinoma cells, a tumor cell line tha...
متن کاملCharacteristics of myosin isoforms in mammalian skeletal muscle
The distribution of myosin heavy (MyHC) and myosin light chain (MyLC) isoform pattern in horse, rat and human skeletal muscle was investigated to establish relations between them and the role of myosin isoform patterns in mammalian muscle with different twitch characteristics was studied. These two isoforms were separated in a SDS-PAGE gel system, stained using the coomassie and silver staining...
متن کاملStretch-activated cation channels in skeletal muscle myotubes from sarcoglycan-deficient hamsters.
Deficiency of delta-sarcoglycan (delta-SG), a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, causes cardiomyopathy and skeletal muscle dystrophy in Bio14.6 hamsters. Using cultured myotubes prepared from skeletal muscle of normal and Bio14.6 hamsters (J2N-k strain), we investigated the possibility that the delta-SG deficiency may lead to alterations in ionic conductances, which may ultimatel...
