Possible regulation of the conventional calpain system by skeletal muscle-specific calpain, p94/calpain 3.
p94 (also called calpain 3) is the skeletal muscle-specific calpain and is considered to be a "modulator protease" in various cellular processes. Analysis of p94 at the protein level is an urgent issue because the loss of p94 protease activity causes limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. In this study, we enzymatically characterized one alternatively spliced variant of p94, p94:exons 6(-)15(-...
متن کاملCalpain-6 Deficiency Promotes Skeletal Muscle Development and Regeneration
Calpains are Ca(2+)-dependent modulator Cys proteases that have a variety of functions in almost all eukaryotes. There are more than 10 well-conserved mammalian calpains, among which eutherian calpain-6 (CAPN6) is unique in that it has amino acid substitutions at the active-site Cys residue (to Lys in humans), strongly suggesting a loss of proteolytic activity. CAPN6 is expressed predominantly ...
متن کاملFibre type-specific expression of the calpain proteolytic system in skeletal muscle.
The calpain proteolytic system has an important role in all animal cells, responding to fluctuating levels of Ca” to initiate irreversible limited proteolysis of specific target proteins. The enzyme system has been implicated in a number of physiological and pathological processes’ involving cytoskeletal reorganisation, and in muscle is thought to be involved in fibre differentiation, growth an...
متن کاملCalcineurin and skeletal muscle growth.
Recruitment determines the profile of fibre-type-specific genes expressed across the range of muscle fibres associated with slow, fast fatigue-resistant and fast fatiguable motor units. Downstream signalling pathways activated by neural signalling and mechanical load have been the focus of intensive research in past years. It is now known that Ca(2+)-dependent calcineurin-nuclear factor of acti...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle-specific Calpain Is an Intracellular Na+-dependent Protease*
Because intracellular [Na(+)] is kept low by Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, Na(+) dependence is generally considered a property of extracellular enzymes. However, we found that p94/calpain 3, a skeletal-muscle-specific member of the Ca(2+)-activated intracellular "modulator proteases" that is responsible for a limb-girdle muscular dystrophy ("calpainopathy"), underwent Na(+)-dependent, but not Cs(+)-depend...
