Accelerated response of the myogenin gene to denervation in mutant mice lacking phosphorylation of myogenin at threonine 87.
Gene expression in skeletal muscle is regulated by a family of myogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins. The binding of these bHLH proteins, notably MyoD and myogenin, to E-boxes in their own regulatory regions is blocked by protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated phosphorylation of a single threonine residue in their basic region. Because electrical stimulation increases PKC activity in skeleta...
متن کاملUpstream sequences of the myogenin gene convey responsiveness to skeletal muscle denervation in transgenic mice.
Myogenin, as well as other MyoD-related skeletal muscle-specific transcription factors, regulate a large number of skeletal muscle genes during myogenic differentiation. During later development, innervation suppresses myogenin expression in the fetal hind limb musculature. Denervation of skeletal muscle reverses the effects of the nerve, and results in the reactivation of myogenin expression, ...
متن کاملAdaptation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, myogenin, and MRF4 gene expression to long-term muscle denervation
Muscle activity alters the expression of functionally distinct nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) via regulation of subunit gene expression. Denervation increases the expression of all subunit genes and promotes the expression of embryonic-type (alpha 2 beta delta gamma) nAChRs, while electrical stimulation of denervated muscle prevents this induction. We have discovered that the denerva...
متن کاملMyogenin regulates denervation-dependent muscle atrophy in mouse soleus muscle.
Muscle inactivity due to injury or disease results in muscle atrophy. The molecular mechanisms contributing to muscle atrophy are poorly understood. However, it is clear that expression of atrophy-related genes, like Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, are intimately tied to loss of muscle mass. When these atrophy-related genes are knocked out, inactive muscles retain mass. Muscle denervation stimulates musc...
متن کاملThe Expression of Myogenin and Myostatin Genes in Baluchi Sheep
Myogenin gene (MYoG) affects the synthesis of muscle myofibrillar growth and increase of meat production. The myostatin (MSTN) gene is identified as a specific negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Reduction of the expression level of MSTN throughmutation in the sequence of this gene leads to an increase of myogenesis and regeneration of muscle cells during the postnatal growing period ...
