Proteasome dysfunction induces muscle growth defects and protein aggregation
The ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosome pathways are the two major routes of protein and organelle clearance. The role of the proteasome pathway in mammalian muscle has not been examined in vivo. In this study, we report that the muscle-specific deletion of a crucial proteasomal gene, Rpt3 (also known as Psmc4), resulted in profound muscle growth defects and a decrease in force producti...
متن کاملProtein aggregation and proteasome dysfunction after brain ischemia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Protein unfolding and aggregation are dominant early pathogenic events in neurons after brain ischemia. This study used a transient cerebral ischemia model to investigate whether overproduction of unfolded proteins after brain ischemia is a consequence of proteasome dysfunction. METHODS Proteasome peptidase activity and proteasome subcellular redistribution and assembly...
متن کاملProtein Aggregation , the Ubiquitin - Proteasome System and Neurodegenerative Diseases
P rotein aggregation is thought to be the pathological driving force responsible for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and prion diseases. However, it is not yet clear whether, or to what extent, the misfolded proteins are the cause of the disease rather than the consequence. The aggregated proteins that are characteristic of these diseases have in commo...
متن کاملInsulin resistance accelerates muscle protein degradation: Activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway by defects in muscle cell signaling.
Conditions such as acidosis, uremia, and sepsis are characterized by insulin resistance and muscle wasting, but whether the insulin resistance associated with these disorders contributes to muscle atrophy is unclear. We examined this question in db/db mice with increased blood glucose despite high levels of plasma insulin. Compared with control littermate mice, the weights of different muscles ...
متن کاملATRX Dysfunction Induces Replication Defects in Primary Mouse Cells
The chromatin remodeling protein ATRX, which targets tandem repetitive DNA, has been shown to be required for expression of the alpha globin genes, for proliferation of a variety of cellular progenitors, for chromosome congression and for the maintenance of telomeres. Mutations in ATRX have recently been identified in tumours which maintain their telomeres by a telomerase independent pathway in...
