Calcineurin controls nerve activity-dependent specification of slow skeletal muscle fibers but not muscle growth.
Nerve activity can induce long-lasting, transcription-dependent changes in skeletal muscle fibers and thus affect muscle growth and fiber-type specificity. Calcineurin signaling has been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of slow muscle fiber genes in culture, but the functional role of calcineurin in vivo has not been unambiguously demonstrated. Here, we report that the up-regulation...
متن کاملThe slow isoform of XenopustroponinI is expressed in developing skeletal muscle but not in the heart
In birds and mammals three isoforms of troponin I (TnI) exist; a slow (TnIs), a fast (TnIf) and a cardiac (TnIc). Although each of these isoforms is expressed in the adult forms of these organisms in a muscle fiber-type-specific manner, the gene encoding TnIs is also expressed within the developing heart of these vertebrates. Herein, our results demonstrate that the developing heart of Xenopus ...
متن کاملSlow charge movement in mammalian skeletal muscle
Voltage-dependent charge movements were measured in the rat omohyoid muscle with the three-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. Contraction was abolished with hypertonic sucrose. The standard (ON-OFF) protocol for eliciting charge movements was to depolarize the fiber from -90 mV to a variable test potential (V) and then repolarize the fiber to -90 mV. The quantity of charge moved saturated ...
متن کاملSlow myosin in developing rat skeletal muscle
Through S1 nuclease mapping using a specific cDNA probe, we demonstrate that the slow myosin heavy-chain (MHC) gene, characteristic of adult soleus, is expressed in bulk hind limb muscle obtained from the 18-d rat fetus. We support these results by use of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) which is highly specific to the adult slow MHC. Immunoblots of MHC peptide maps show the same peptides, uniquely ...
متن کاملNot Only What, but Also How Matters Introducing Procedural Utility: Not Only What, but Also How Matters
People not only care about outcomes, they also value the procedures which lead to the outcomes. Procedural utility is a potentially important source of human well-being. This paper aims at introducing the concept of procedural utility into economics, and argues that it should be incorporated more widely into economic theory and empirical research. Three building blocks of a concept of procedura...
