Nemaline myopathy-related skeletal muscle α-actin (ACTA1) mutation, Asp286Gly, prevents proper strong myosin binding and triggers muscle weakness. [PDF]
Many mutations in the skeletal muscle α-actin gene (ACTA1) lead to muscle weakness and nemaline myopathy. Despite increasing clinical and scientific interest, the molecular and cellular pathogenesis of weakness remains unclear.

The dynamics of the β-propeller domain in Kelch protein KLHL40 changes upon nemaline myopathy-associated mutation [PDF]
Evolutionarily widespread, functionally and structurally diverse and still largely unexplored, Kelch proteins, characterized by the presence of a conserved C-terminal β-propeller, are implicated in a number of diverse fundamental biological functions ...

OXPHOS complex deficiency in congenital myopathy: A systematic review
This systematic review assessed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex dysfunction in genetically confirmed congenital myopathies (CM). Among 5841 studies screened, 23 publications, comprising 45 CM cases, met the inclusion criteria. OXPHOS dysfunction was identified in 78% of cases, particularly where enzymology was performed, with RYR1 most ...

Nemaline myopathy (NM) is a congenital skeletal muscle disorder that typically results in muscle weakness and the presence of rod-like structures (nemaline bodies) in the sarcoplasma and/or in the nuclei of myofibres.

Abstract Cerebral palsy (CP) often presents with increased passive stiffness of the skeletal muscles, primarily due to increased collagen in the extracellular matrix. Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum (CCH), an enzyme that degrades collagen, is used clinically to treat fibrotic conditions such as Dupuytren's contracture and Peyronie's disease ...

A loss of function TNNT1 myopathy mouse model with the nonsense mutation p.E180* showed potential cytotoxicity of the truncated slow troponin T fragment. The mRNA expression profile in the soleus muscle of Tnnt1‐p.E180* mice showed very different changes in comparison to that of Tnnt1‐knockout mice.

Nebulette knockout mice have normal cardiac function, but show Z-line widening and up-regulation of cardiac stress markers [PDF]
Aims: Nebulette is a 109 kDa modular protein localized in the sarcomeric Z-line of the heart. In vitro studies have suggested a role of nebulette in stabilizing the thin filament, and missense mutations in the nebulette gene were recently shown to be ...
