Use of gene targeting for compromising energy homeostasis in neuro-muscular tissues: the role of sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase.

چکیده
We have introduced a single knock-out mutation in the mitochondrial creatine kinase gene (ScCKmit) in the mouse germ line via targeted mutagenesis in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Surprisingly, ScCKmit -/- muscles, unlike muscles of mice with a deficiency of cytosolic M-type creatine kinase (M-CK -/-; Van Deursen et al. (1993) Cell 74, 621-631), display no altered morphology, performance or oxidative phosphorylation capacity. Also, the levels of high energy phosphate metabolites were essentially unaltered in ScCKmit mutants. Our results challenge some of the present concepts about the strict coupling between CKmit function and aerobic respiration.

Separate nuclear genes encode sarcomere-specific and ubiquitous human mitochondrial creatine kinase isoenzymes.
Creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzymes play a central role in energy transduction. Nuclear genes encode creatine kinase subunits from muscle, brain, and mitochondria (MtCK). We have recently isolated a cDNA clone encoding MtCK from a human placental library which is expressed in many human tissues (Haas, R. C., Korenfeld, C., Zhang, Z., Perryman, B., Roman, D., and Strauss, A. W. (1989) J. Bio...
متن کاملChanges in the mitochondrial proteome from mouse hearts deficient in creatine kinase.
Creatine kinase (CK) is an abundant enzyme, important for maintenance of high-energy phosphate homeostasis in many tissues including heart. Double-knockout CK (DbKO-CK) mice missing both the muscle (MM) and sarcomeric mitochondrial (ScMit) isoforms of CK have recently been studied. Despite a large change in skeletal muscle function in DbKO-CK mice, there is little functional change in the heart...
متن کاملMitochondrial creatine kinase is critically necessary for normal myocardial high-energy phosphate metabolism.
The individual functional significance of the various creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes for myocardial energy homeostasis is poorly understood. Whereas transgenic hearts lacking the M subunit of CK (M-CK) show unaltered cardiac energetics and left ventricular (LV) performance, deletion of M-CK in combination with loss of sarcomeric mitochondrial CK (ScCKmit) leads to significant alterations in my...
متن کاملMitochondrial creatine kinase isoform expression does not correlate with its mode of action.
In adult mammalian ventricular tissue, mitochondrial creatine kinase (mi-CK), which is bound to the outer surface of the mitochondrial inner membrane, is functionally coupled to oxidative phosphorylation. This is shown, in saponin-permeabilized rat ventricular fibres, by a shift in the apparent K(m) of mitochondrial respiration for ADP from 300 +/- 56 microM to 111 +/- 40 microM (P < 0.001) on ...
متن کاملFor want of a nail. ramifications of a single gene deletion, dystrophin, in the brain of the mouse.
Lack of expression of a single gene, dystrophin, causes the severe, progressive muscle wasting and mental deficits characteristic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this work, we investigated the impact of dystrophin deletion on expression of other genes in the brain cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum using the murine homologue, the mdx mouse, and RT-PCR. Expression of the brain glucose transpo...
