Myosin phosphatase regulatory pathways: different functions or redundant functions?
In many ways, the smooth muscle cell (SMC) has been at the forefront in defining cellular signaling pathways. For example, the initial description of agonist-dependent intracellular calcium ([Ca ]i) transients was made on vertebrate vascular SMC using aqueorin as the indicator.1 Delineation of nitric oxide (NO) and cGMP signaling was first accomplished in smooth muscle.2,3 And more recently, in...
متن کاملFunctional conservation of nematode and vertebrate myogenic regulatory factors.
The Caenorhabditis elegans protein, CeMyoD, is related to the vertebrate myogenic regulatory factors MyoD, myogenin, MRF-4 and Myf-5. Like its vertebrate counterparts, CeMyoD accumulates in the nucleus of striated muscle cells prior to the onset of terminal differentiation. CeMyoD also shares functional similarities with the vertebrate myogenic regulatory factors. Viral LTR driven expression of...
متن کاملMyogenic regulatory transcription factors regulate growth in rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric malignacy of muscle with myogenic regulatory transcription factors MYOD and MYF5 being expressed in this disease. Consensus in the field has been that expression of these factors likely reflects the target cell of transformation rather than being required for continued tumor growth. Here, we used a transgenic zebrafish model to show that Myf5 is sufficient ...
متن کاملMyogenic factors that regulate expression of muscle-specific microRNAs.
Since their discovery as key regulators of early animal development, microRNAs now are recognized as widespread regulators of gene expression. Despite their abundance, little is known regarding the regulation of microRNA biogenesis. We show that three highly conserved muscle-specific microRNAs, miR-1, miR-133 and miR-206, are robustly induced during the myoblast-myotube transition, both in prim...
متن کاملCooperation between myogenic regulatory factors and SIX family transcription factors is important for myoblast differentiation
Precise regulation of gene expression is crucial to myogenesis and is thought to require the cooperation of various transcription factors. On the basis of a bioinformatic analysis of gene regulatory sequences, we hypothesized that myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), key regulators of skeletal myogenesis, cooperate with members of the SIX family of transcription factors, known to play important ...
