Propagation in vertebrate visceral smooth muscle.
Smooth muscle cells behave electrically as if their interiors were directly connected without an intervening extracellular space. Although both light and electron microscope studies indicate that they do not comprise a true syncytium, regions of contact between the membranes of two cells have been described. This special kind of contact could account for all the present data and it is suggested...
متن کاملMyosin filament structure in vertebrate smooth muscle
The in vivo structure of the myosin filaments in vertebrate smooth muscle is unknown. Evidence from purified smooth muscle myosin and from some studies of intact smooth muscle suggests that they may have a nonhelical, side-polar arrangement of crossbridges. However, the bipolar, helical structure characteristic of myosin filaments in striated muscle has not been disproved for smooth muscle. We ...
متن کاملPhosphorylation is a regulatory mechanism in apolipoprotein B mRNA editing.
The editing of apolipoprotein B (apoB) mRNA is under tissue-specific, developmental and metabolic regulation. We found that multiple protein kinase inhibitors or activators increased apoB mRNA editing up to 2.5-fold in Caco-2 cells and 3-8-fold in McA7777 and FAO rat cells respectively. The phosphorylation-agent-induced modulation is independent of the apolipoprotein B editing catalytic subunit...
متن کاملIdentifying synonymous regulatory elements in vertebrate genomes
Synonymous gene regulation, defined by regulatory elements driving shared temporal and/or spatial aspects of gene expression, is most probably predicated on genomic elements that contain similar modules of certain transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). We have developed a method to scan vertebrate genomes for evolutionary conserved modules of TFBS in a predefined configuration, and created ...
متن کاملWidespread regulatory activity of vertebrate microRNA* species.
An obligate intermediate during microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is an ~22-nucleotide RNA duplex, from which the mature miRNA is preferentially incorporated into a silencing complex. Its partner miRNA* species is generally regarded as a passenger RNA, whose regulatory capacity has not been systematically examined in vertebrates. Our bioinformatic analyses demonstrate that a substantial fraction of m...
