Expression of Smooth Muscle Calponin in Synovial Sarcoma
Purpose. Histogenesis of synovial sarcoma remains controversial and reliable molecular markers for diagnosis are necessary. Expression of basic calponin, a smooth muscle differentiation-specific actin-binding protein, was studied in synovial sarcoma.Subjects and Methods. The basic calponin gene and the gene product were analyzed by reverse transcription PCR analysis (RT-PCR) and immunohistochem...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle calponin. A novel troponin T-like protein.
In a search for additional Ca2+ regulatory components in vascular smooth muscle, a novel troponin T-like protein was purified from bovine aorta smooth muscle. The isolated protein was separated into several isoforms on isoelectric focusing. The major isoelectric variants were focused in the pH region of 8.4 to 9.1. The protein had slightly different molecular masses in the Mr range of 35,000 on...
متن کاملInsight into the kinetics and the mode of the interaction between smooth muscle calponin and F-actin.
Kinetics of the smooth muscle calponin-F-actin interaction was studied by stopped-flow measurements of light scattering and fluorescence intensity of pyrene-labelled F-actin. The intensity and character of the changes in light scattering, and thus the mode of calponin binding to actin filaments leading to changes in their shape and bundling, depend on the molar ratio of the two proteins. Parall...
متن کاملCalponin is localised in both the contractile apparatus and the cytoskeleton of smooth muscle cells.
Calponin and caldesmon are two thin filament-binding proteins found in smooth muscle that have both been attributed a role in modulating the interaction of actin and myosin. Using high-resolution dual-label immunocytochemistry we have determined the distribution of calponin relative to the contractile and cytoskeletal compartments of the smooth muscle cell. We show, using chicken gizzard smooth...
متن کاملSmooth-muscle calponin in mesangial cells: regulation of expression and a role in suppressing glomerulonephritis.
The basic or h1 calponin gene, which encodes an actin-binding protein involved in the regulation of smooth-muscle shortening velocity, is known to be a smooth-muscle differentiation-specific gene. It was found that basic calponin was expressed by cultured mesangial cells and localized along the actin filaments. Among the growth factors involved in the mesangial cell pathophysiology, including p...
