MRF4 negatively regulates adult skeletal muscle growth by repressing MEF2 activity [PDF]
The myogenic regulatory factor MRF4 is highly expressed in adult skeletal muscle but its function is unknown. Here we show that Mrf4 knockdown in adult muscle induces hypertrophy and prevents denervation-induced atrophy.

Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein-C Phosphorylation and Cardiac Function [PDF]
The role of cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) phosphorylation in cardiac physiology or pathophysiology is unclear. To investigate the status of cMyBP-C phosphorylation in vivo, we determined its phosphorylation state in stressed and unstressed mouse hearts.

Mutation of the Ser18 phosphorylation site on the sole Saccharomyces cerevisiae UCS protein, She4, can compromise high-temperature survival. [PDF]
Folding of the myosin head often requires the joint actions of Hsp90 and a dedicated UNC45, Cro1, She4 (UCS) domain-containing cochaperone protein. Relatively weak sequence conservation exists between the single UCS protein of simple eukaryotes (She4 in ...

Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) in cardiac pathophysiology [PDF]
More than 350 individual MYPBC3 mutations have been identified in patients with inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), thus representing 40–50% of all HCM mutations, making it the most frequently mutated gene in HCM. HCM is considered a disease of the sarcomere and is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, myocyte disarray and diastolic ...

Cardiac myosin binding protein C phosphorylation in cardiac disease [PDF]
Perturbations in sarcomeric function may in part underlie systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the failing heart. Sarcomeric dysfunction has been ascribed to changes in phosphorylation status of sarcomeric proteins caused by an altered balance between intracellular kinases and phosphatases during the development of cardiac disease.

Serum Response Factor in muscle tissues: from development to ageing
Skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle cells share various common characteristic features. During development the embryonic mesodermal layer contribute at different proportions to the formation of these tissues.

Myosin tails and single α-helical domains [PDF]
The human genome contains 39 myosin genes, divided up into 12 different classes. The structure, cellular function and biochemical properties of many of these isoforms remain poorly characterized and there is still some controversy as to whether some ...

Multiple myosin motors interact with sodium/potassium-ATPase alpha 1 subunits
The alpha1 (α1) subunit of the sodium/potassium ATPase (i.e., Na+/K+-ATPase α1), the prototypical sodium pump, is expressed in each eukaryotic cell. They pump out three sodium ions in exchange for two extracellular potassium ions to establish a cellular ...

Cardiac Myosin Adenosinetriphosphatase Activity [PDF]
Cardiac myosin prepared by any one of a number of modifications of the basic Szent-Gyorgyi method and cardiac myosin prepared by the lithium chloride-ammonium sulfate technique differ in two important respects: 1) Szent-Gyorgyi-prepared myosin solutions are inhomogeneous by both chemical and immunologic criteria; 2) the ATPase activity of Szent-Gyorgyi-
