Ontogenic differentiation of pig atrial and ventricular myosin.
نویسنده
چکیده
Myosin was isolated from pig atrial and ventricular myocardium during postnatal development and Ca2+-ATPase was determined and myosin light chains were analysed by electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel. During ontogenesis ATPase activity of ventricular myosin remains virtually unchanged, whereas that of atrial myosin increases. The patterns of myosin light chains of atrial and ventricular myosin differ from each other, but the individual pattern remains unchanged during the development.

Skinned fibers of human atrium and ventricle: myosin isoenzymes and contractility.
Different myosin isoenzymes of pig and human atrium and ventricle and rat ventricle were characterized by two approaches: pyrophosphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PP-PAGE) and analysis of the myosin P light chains by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE). We further investigated the relation between atrial and ventricular myosin isoenzymes of human, pig, and rat,...

Myosin was isolated from atria and ventricles of adult rats, rabbits and pigs, and characterized by ATPase activities, the effects of temperature on the latter, the influence of alkaline preincubation on enzymatic activity and by electrophoretic fractionation of myosin peptides. It was shown that ventricular myosins are clearly distinguished by their ATPase activities and their response to pH a...

Rat, rabbit, pig, and bovine atrial myocardia were investigated with anti-alpha and anti-beta myosin heavy chain monoclonal antibodies. Analysis of atrial fibers by indirect immunofluorescence and assay of myosin heavy chains in tissue micro samples by immunoaffinity chromatography revealed both heterogeneity and plasticity in the atrial myosin heavy chains, undetected by electrophoresis of nat...

In the present study, a monoclonal antibody (McAb), ALD19, generated against myosin of slow tonic muscle, was shown to react with the heavy chain of ventricular myosin in the adult chicken heart. With this antibody, it was possible to detect a ventricular-specific myosin during myocardial differentiation and to show that the epitope recognized by ALD19 was present from the earliest stages of ve...
متن کاملTransitions in cardiac isomyosin expression during differentiation of the embryonic chick heart.
The expression of different isoforms of the contractile protein myosin plays a major role in determining contractile characteristics in both cardiac and skeletal muscle in the adult. There is little evidence pertaining to putative changes in myosin phenotype during cardiac embryogenesis or if such changes could play a role in modulating the contractile characteristics of the developing heart. W...
