Muscle Intermediate Filament Proteins

2004
Publisher Summary Intermediate filaments (IFs) appear to function as mechanical integrators of cellular space and provide the overall cytoskeletal integrity and strength, as well as the organization, necessary for supporting contraction. The five muscle cell IF proteins include desmin, vimentin, synemin, paranemin (avian)/nestin (mammalian ortholog),

Muscle proteins: actin

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1991
Abstract In the past year, structural knowledge of actin has advanced to atomic detail. A synthesis of X-ray fibre-diffraction data and electron-microscopy observations of actin filaments with the atomic model has been achieved.

Separation of muscle proteins

Journal of Chromatography A, 1984
This review covers various methods used in the separation and isolation of individual muscle contractile proteins. It is shown which methods have been most useful for the separation of contractile proteins and their fragments and in extending our knowledge of muscle biochemistry and physiology.

Muscle fatty acid-binding protein

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 1999
Muscle or heart fatty acid-binding protein is a low molecular weight protein that binds long-chain fatty acids in the cytosol of muscle tissues. The three-dimensional structure of the human, bovine and insect proteins are known, either via X-ray or NMR techniques.

Heat Coagulation of Muscle Proteins

Nature, 1945
A CHANGE in pH when proteins are denatured has been reported by other workers1,2. When making observations of the change in pH of meat resulting from heat coagulation, we were struck both by the magnitude and by the variability of the change. Muscle is a highly buffered system3, and a change such as that observed, for example, from 5·6 to 5·9 ...

Testosterone and Muscle Protein Metabolism

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2000
This presentation discusses recent investigations into testosterone's effects on muscle protein metabolism. Protein synthesis is the principal end point, but protein breakdown and the availability of an amino acid pool are important to the process of net muscle protein synthesis.

Electrophoresis of avian muscle proteins

British Poultry Science, 1978
1. The electrophoretic patterns of water-soluble proteins of avian muscle showed differences due both to species and to muscle type. 2. Each muscle pattern within a species showed a unique protein band which distinguished that species from other species.

New elastic protein from muscle

Nature, 1976
IT has long been assumed that an elastic component other than extracellular collagen fibres is present in muscle fibres to explain their elastic properties, especially during passive stretch1,2 The presence of such an elastic component has been demonstrated in skinned fibres of frog skeletal muscle3,4.

Myofibrillar Proteins of Skeletal Muscle

1971
Publisher Summary Muscle is a highly integrated chemical machine. One of the most impressive aspects of this integration is the ability to increase the rate of energy utilization by approximately 2500-fold within milliseconds. This efficient transduction of chemical into mechanical energy occurs through the subtleties of the interactions of myosin ...

Muscle proteins and muscular dystrophy

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1989
In recent years, muscle biology has been transformed by the use of recombinant DNA technology. A result of this approach of great practical importance is the localization on the human X-chromosome of the site of mutation(s) causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a devastating disease causing degeneration of skeletal muscle fibres and leading
