Previous pyrophosphate-gel studies have reported the existence of embryonic neonatal myosin isoenzymes in human developing muscle. The present investigation was undertaken to characterize their subunit composition more precisely. Two immature muscle myosins are contrasted with adult myosin: neonatal myosin and foetal myosin. The neonatal form of myosin is weakly cross-reactive with rabbit slow myosin and contains only fast-type light chains (LC), LC1F and LC2F. The associated heavy chains consist of a single electrophoretic component that reacts exclusively with antibodies against human foetal myosin and has a mobility and peptide pattern distinct from that of adult fast and slow heavy chains. Foetal myosin is distinguished by the presence of low amounts of a heavy chain immunologically cross-reactive with the adult slow form and of two additional light-chain components: a LC2S light chain and a foetal-specific light chain (LCemb.). The foetal-specific light chain, as shown by one-dimensional-peptide-map analysis, is structurally unrelated to both LC1S and LC1F light chains of human adult myosin. We conclude from these results that the ontogenesis of human muscle myosin shares certain common features with that observed in other species, except for the persistence until birth of a foetal form of heavy chain (HCemb.). 相似文献

Analysis of myosin light and heavy chain types in single human skeletal muscle fibers 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
In this study, myosin types in human skeletal muscle fibers were investigated with electrophoretic techniques. Single fibers were dissected out of lyophilized surgical biopsies and typed by staining for myofibrillar ATPase after preincubation in acid or alkaline buffers. After 14C-labelling of the fiber proteins in vitro by reductive methylation, the myosin light chain pattern was analysed on two-dimensional gels and the myosin heavy chains were investigated by one-dimensional peptide mapping. Surprisingly, human type I fibers, which contained only the slow heavy chain, were found to contain variable amounts of fast myosin light chains in addition to the two slow light chains LC1s and LC2s. The majority of the type I fibers in normal human muscle showed the pattern LC1s, LC2s and LC1f. Further evidence for the existence in human muscle of a hybrid myosin composed of a slow heavy chain with fast and slow light chains comes from the analysis of purified human myosin in the native state by pyrophosphate gel electrophoresis. With this method, a single band corresponding to slow myosin was obtained; this slow myosin had the light chain composition LC1s, LC2s and LC1f. Type IIA and IIB fibers, on the other hand, revealed identical light chain patterns consisting of only the fast light chains LC1f, LC2f and LC3f but were found to have different myosin havy chains. On the basis of the results presented, we suggest that the histochemical ATPase normally used for fibre typing is determined by the myosin heavy chain type (and not by the light chains). Thus, in normal human muscle a number of 'hybrid' myosins were found to occur, namely two extreme forms of fast myosins which have the same light chains but different heavy chains (IIA and IIB) and a continuum of slow forms consisting of the same heavy chain and slow light chains with a variable fast light chain composition. This is consistent with the different physiological roles these fibers are thought to have in muscle contraction. 相似文献

1. Combined histochemical and biochemical single-fibre analyses [Staron & Pette (1987) Biochem. J. 243, 687-693], were used to investigate the rabbit tibialis-anterior fibre population. 2. This muscle is composed of four histochemically defined fibre types (I, IIC, IIA and IIB). 3. Type I fibres contain slow myosin light chains LC1s and LC2 and the slow myosin heavy chain HCI, and types IIA and IIB contain the fast myosin light chains LC1f, LC2f and LC3f and the fast heavy chains HCIIa and HCIIb respectively. 4. A small fraction of fibres (IIAB), histochemically intermediate between types IIA and IIB, contain the fast light myosin chains but display a coexistence of HCIIa and HCIIb. 5. Similarly to the soleus muscle, C fibres in the tibialis anterior muscle contain both fast and slow myosin light chains and heavy chains. The IIC fibres show a predominance of the fast forms and the IC fibres (histochemically intermediate between types I and IIC) a predominance of the slow forms. 6. A total of 60 theoretical isomyosins can be derived from these findings on the distribution of fast and slow myosin light and heavy chains in the fibres of rabbit tibialis anterior muscle. 相似文献

The CNBr peptides of [14C]carboxymethylated cardiac myosin heavy chains from euthyroid and thyrotoxic rabbits have been compared using a two-dimensional electrophoretic system. The results indicated that there were extensive differences in the peptide "maps" of these heavy chains, which included differences in the distribution of radiolabeled thiol peptides. Also, the patterns of heavy chain peptides from the cardiac myosins have been compared with those produced by the heavy chain myosin isozymes from skeletal muscles. Peptide maps of heavy chains from red skeletal muscle myosin closely resembled the pattern of peptides found with cardiac myosin heavy chains from euthyroid rabbits. However, peptide maps of heavy chains from white skeletal muscle myosin were dissimilar to those of the cardiac myosin isozymes. We conclude that thyroxine administration stimulates the synthesis of a cardiac myosin isozyme with a heavy chain primary structure which is different from either of the skeletal muscle myosin isozymes. 相似文献

Changes in myosin heavy chain isoforms during chronic low-frequency stimulation of rat fast hindlimb muscles. A single-fiber study 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Fast-twitch rat muscles contain three fast myosin heavy chains (HC) which can be separated by density gradient gel electrophoresis. Their mobility increases in the order of HCIIa less than HCIId less than HCIIb. In contrast to the rabbit, where chronic low-frequency nerve stimulation induces a fast-to-slow conversion, stimulation for up to 56 days does not lead to appreciable increases in the relative concentration of the slow myosin heavy chain HCI in rat fast-twitch muscles. However, chronic stimulation of rat fast-twitch muscle does evoke a rearrangement of the fast myosin heavy chain isoform pattern with a progressive decrease in HCIIb and progressive increases in HCIIa and HCIId. As judged from the time course and extent of these transitions, it appears that HCIId is an intermediate form between HCIIb and HCIIa. Single-fiber analyses of normal muscles make it possible to assign these heavy chain isoforms to histochemically defined fiber types IIB, IID, and IIA. The stimulation-induced fiber transformations produce numerous hybrid fibers displaying more than one myosin heavy chain isoform. Some transforming fibers contain up to four different myosin heavy chain isoforms. 相似文献

Ca2+ATPase activity and light chains of myosin, fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, in developing, adult and denervated fast, slow and cardiac muscles of the rat, guinea-pig, cat, rabbit and chick were studied. It has been shown that in normal adult muscles the electrophoretic pattern of light chains of myosin reflects the myosin ATPase activity only when muscles from the same animal species are compared. In homologous muscles from adult animals differing in size, the size-dependent difference in myosin ATPase activity is not revealed in the electrophoretic pattern. Both in developing and in denervated muscle, changes in myosin ATPase activity are either connected with changes in the pattern of light chains of myosin or this pattern does not change. This relation is different in fast and slow muscles and also differs in chick and rabbit muscles. There are several possibilities of explaining the relation between ATPase activity of myosin and the pattern of light chains of myosin. The observation that myosin from the soleus muscle of 1-month-old rabbit contains light chains corresponding to both fast and slow type of myosin, indicates that the change in myosin ATPase activity during development is due to changes in the ratio between the fast and slow type of myosin. 相似文献

The expression of myosin light chains (MLCs) during the development of human skeletal muscle was investigated by using two different two-dimensional electrophoretic techniques. In both electrophoretic systems the predominant light chain 1 (LC1) expressed during the whole fetal period was found to co-migrate with the adult fast LC1 (LC1F). The main LC2 expressed during the whole fetal period was found to be different from the main fast LC2 (LC2F) and slow LC2 (LC2S) usually present in adult muscle, but co-migrated with a minor component often present in adult muscle. This fetal LC2 was phosphorylatable, and the phosphorylated form co-migrated with the main component of LC2F expressed in the adult. The adult fast LC3 appeared as early as week 20 of gestation, whereas the adult slow light chains (LC1S and LC2S) appeared only during the late fetal period. A minor component of LC1, previously described in humans as an 'embryonic LC' (LCemb.) [Strohman, Micou-Eastwood, Glass & Matsuda (1983) Science 221, 955-957], was only expressed in the early fetal period and was found to co-migrate with atrial LC1 (ALC1). We discuss the expression of these specific developmental forms of MLCs co-existing with immature myosin heavy chains during fetal life. 相似文献

Immunochemical studies have identified a distinct myosin heavy chain (MHC) in the chicken embryonic skeletal muscle that was undetectable in this muscle in the posthatch period by both immunocytochemical and the immunoblotting procedures. This embryonic isoform, identified by antibody 96J, which also recognises the cardiac and SM1 myosin heavy chains, differs from the embryonic myosin heavy chain belonging to the fast class described previously. Although the fast embryonic isoform is a major species present in the leg and pectoral embryonic muscles, slow embryonic isoform was present in significant amounts during early embryonic development. Immunocytochemical studies using another monoclonal antibody designated 9812, which is specific for SM1 MHC, showed this isoform to be restricted to only presumptive slow muscle cells. From these studies and those reported on the changes in SM2 MHC, it is proposed that as is the case for the fast class, there also exists a slow class of myosin heavy chains composed of slow embryonic, SM1 and SM2 isoforms. The differentiation of a muscle cell involves transitions in a series of myosin isozymes in both presumptive fast and slow skeletal muscle cells. 相似文献

Myosin polymorphism in muscles has been studied by a variety of electrophoretic techniques, in non-dissociating and in dissociating conditions. The analysis of myosin isozymes in the native state was achieved in pyrophosphate buffer and required only minute amounts of protein; identical results were obtained with purified or crudely extracted myosin. The determination of the subunit content of each isozyme was done in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate or urea for light chain, and in a phenol, acetic acid and urea system for heavy chain screening. Electrophoresis in non-dissociating conditions has led to the separation of up to a dozen of myosin isozymes, differing in mobilities by as much as 30%. Muscle specificity of myosin was clearly established. Apart from a few exceptions, all the muscles tested were shown to contain more than one myosin species; fast-twitch muscles for instance all contained the same three isozymes, but in variable ratios. Class specificity of myosin appeared related to the relative proportions of isozymes in a given muscle. A second electrophoresis in dissociating solvents of the myosin bands first resolved in pyrophosphate buffer has then allowed a further characterization of the various isozymes. The differences in mobilities observed in the native state were shown to come either from the light chains, or from the heavy chains, or from both. The first case was illustrated by the three species present in fast muscles, which were shown to correspond to three alkali light-chain isozymes, the heterodimer representing in some instances up to 40% of the total. Next to light-chain muscle type specificity, electrophoresis in the phenol, acetic acid, urea system has led to the detection of differences in the heavy chains of fast, slow and cardiac myosins. The application of these various electrophoretic techniques to the analysis of the modification of myosin isozymes during development or in pathology studies can be considered. 相似文献

Fast and slow myosin heavy chain mRNAs were isolated by indirect immunoprecipitation of polysomes from 14-day-old embryonic chick leg muscle. The antibodies were prepared against myosin heavy chains purified by NaDod-SO4-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were shown to be specific for fast and slow myosin heavy chains. The RNA fractions directed the synthesis of myosin heavy chains in a cell-free translation system from wheat germ. Several smaller peptides were also synthesized in lower concentrations. These probably are partial products of myosin heavy chains, since they are immunoprecipitated with antibodies to myosin heavy chains. Immunoprecipitation of the translation products with the antibodies to fast and slow myosin heavy chains showed the RNA preparations to be approximately 94% enriched for fast myosin heavy chain mRNA and approximately 84% enriched for slow myosin heavy chain mRNA with respect to myosin HC type. Peptides having slightly different mobilities on NaDodSO4-polyacrylamide gels were immunoprecipitated by antibodies to fast and slow myosin heavy chains. 相似文献

1. Actomyosin extracts of trunk, heart, and head muscles from barbel (Barbus barbus L.) were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to study their myosin heavy chain composition. 2. Four heavy chain isoforms were found: trunk white, trunk red, and ventricle muscles yielded one heavy chain typical of the muscle type; head muscles devoid of red fibers displayed two heavy chain isoforms, the slow migrating one corresponding to the trunk white muscle type. 3. The electrophoretic mobility of red and ventricle myosin heavy chains related to that of white isoforms appeared highly modified by the glycerol content of the gels. 相似文献

Regenerating adult chicken skeletal muscle and satellite cell cultures express embryonic patterns of myosin and tropomyosin isoforms 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Regenerating areas of adult chicken fast muscle (pectoralis major) and slow muscle (anterior latissimus dorsi) were examined in order to determine synthesis patterns of myosin light chains, heavy chains and tropomyosin. In addition, these patterns were also examined in muscle cultures derived from satellite cells of adult fast and slow muscle. One week after cold-injury the regenerating fast muscle showed a pattern of synthesis that was predominately embryonic. These muscles synthesized the embryonic myosin heavy chain, beta-tropomyosin and reduced amounts of myosin fast light chain-3 which are characteristic of embryonic fast muscle but synthesized very little myosin slow light chains. The regenerating slow muscle, however, showed a nearly complete array of embryonic peptides including embryonic myosin heavy chain, fast and slow myosin light chains and both alpha-fast and slow tropomyosins. Peptide map analysis of the embryonic myosin heavy chains synthesized by regenerating fast and slow muscles showed them to be identical. Thus, in both muscles there is a return to embryonic patterns during regeneration but this return appears to be incomplete in the pectoralis major. By 4 weeks postinjury both regenerating fast and slow muscles had stopped synthesizing embryonic isoforms of myosin and tropomyosin and had returned to a normal adult pattern of synthesis. Adult fast and slow muscles yielded a satellite cell population that formed muscle fibers in culture. Fibers derived from either population synthesized the embryonic myosin heavy chain in addition to alpha-fast and beta-tropomyosin. Thus, muscle fibers derived in culture from satellite cells of fast and slow muscles synthesized a predominately embryonic pattern of myosin heavy chains and tropomyosin. In addition, however, the satellite cell-derived myotubes from fast muscle synthesized only fast myosin light chains while the myotubes derived from slow muscle satellite cells synthesized both fast and slow myosin light chains. Thus, while both kinds of satellite cells produced embryonic type myotubes in culture the overall patterns were not identical. Satellite cells of fast and slow muscle appear therefore to have diverged from each other in their commitment during maturation in vivo. 相似文献

1. Ca2+-ATPase of myosin and electrophoretic pattern of light chains of myosin were investigated in cardiac muscles of 22-day-old rabbit embryos, new-born and adult rabbits. 2. Ca2+-ATPase activity was found to decrease during development and in contrast to that of adult rabbit, cardiac myosin prepared from 22-day-old embryos, is stable on exposure to pH 9.5. 3. Myosin from the cardiac muscle of rabbit embryos reveals light chains of both fast and slow types, that from adult animals, however, reveals light chains of the slow type only. 4. These studies suggest that unlike the cardiac muscle of adult rabbit, cardiac muscle of rabbit embryos contains both fast and slow types of myosin. 相似文献

The technique of isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels was used to determine whether differences could be distinguished between the heavy chains of myosin prepared from physiologically different muscles of chicken. The results of focusing a mixture of fast, slow, embryonic skeletal and cardiac myosin indicated that two different heavy chains only were resolved. In fast, slow and embryonic myosin these were present in approximately equal amounts but the chain with the more acidic isoelectric point was present in greater quantity in cardiac myosin. 相似文献

1. White skeletal muscle myosin of four marine teleost fish species (cod, blue whiting, Norway haddock, and spotted wolf-fish) was analyzed by native, SDS-PAGE, and 2-dimensional electrophoresis. 2. Four types of native myosin were present in cod, blue whiting and Norway haddock. The second fastest migrating form was predominant. 3. Myosin from spotted wolf-fish also resolved into four forms. The fastest migrating form was hardly noticeable. The other three were present in apparently similar amounts. 4. In the myosin from each species there were three types of light chains. The pattern of light chains was species specific. 5. Apparently, there was only one type of heavy chain in myosin from cod, Norway haddock and spotted wolf-fish. One preparation of cod showed an extra band of higher electrophoretic mobility than the main band. In blue whiting we found two bands present in approximately equal amounts. 相似文献

Isometric twitch characteristics and biochemical parameters of isolated myosin and sarcoplasmic reticulum have been compared in three cat hind limb muscles. The fast twitch caudofemoralis and the slow twitch soleus are almost pure muscles as judged from histochemical studies. Isolated myosin from the caudofemoralis is not only 2- to 3-fold higher in its ATPase activities than that of the soleus, but also in non-dissociated forms has greater electrophoretic mobility than the soleus myosin. Purified myosins from fast muscles as well as soleus exhibited three light chains upon electrophoresis. However, the intact non-solubilized myosins differed in electrophoretic mobilities. The sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction isolated from caudfemoralis exhibits faster rates of Ca++ binding and uptake than soleus, and when fit to a two component model, the caudofemoralis SR exhibits a higher amount of a fast binding site than does soleus SR, features reflected in differences in the relaxation time of the two muscles. In contrast, the fast twitch tibialis anterior has been shown to be a gradient of fiber types and its isometric twitch may be separated by selective nerve stimulation, into a fast and a slow twitch component. Our findings that myosin fractions, as well as sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions isolated from these two components differ with respect to their biochemical characteristics add support to the possibility of a dual function in this muscle. 相似文献

The heavy and light subunits of myosin from white and red muscles of Atlantic salmon parr, smolt and adult individuals were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis. Tropomyosin was identified by comigration with rat tropomyosins in two-dimensional gels in the presence and absence of urea. These myofibrillar proteins were compared to those of Arctic charr.
- 1.1. The myosin heavy chain from Atlantic salmon red muscles was associated with two types of light chain, 1S and 2S, that comigrated with the light chains 1S and 2S of Arctic charr.
- 2.2. As in the Arctic charr, four myosin light chain spots were detected in white muscles: two fast myosin light chains type 1, one of which comigrated with its analogous in the Arctic charr; one fast myosin light chain type 2, differing slightly in isoelectric point from that of Arctic charr; and one fast myosin light chain type 3 with higher electrophoretic mobility than that of Arctic charr.
- 3.3. Three tropomyosin spots were detected. White muscles contained only one type of β-tropomyosin and red muscles two types of α-tropomyosin. These three tropomyosin spots comigrated with those of Arctic charr.
- 4.4. Two myosin heavy chain bands were observed in red muscles of salmon parrs but only one in the rest of the red muscles analyzed.
- 5.5. Only one myosin heavy chain band was detected in white muscles by SDS-glycerol-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Alfa-chymotryptic peptide mapping of these white myosin heavy chain bands revealed differences attributed to the presence of a new type of myosin heavy chain first detected several months after smoltification.

Post-tetanic potentiation was measured in motor units, isolated functionally by ventral root splitting, of soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles of mouse. All motor units from the extensor digitorum longus had times to peak twitch tension less than 13 ms; there was a linear relationship between time to peak tension and post-tetanic potentiation, with the faster units exhibiting greater potentiation. When soleus motor units were similarly analyzed, it appeared that there may be two distinct populations of units. Those units with times to peak tension less than 13 ms were virtually indistinguishable from those of extensor digitorum longus. On the other hand, the slope of the relationship between post-tetanic potentiation and time to peak tension was significantly lower for soleus units with times to peak tension of 13 ms or more. Approximately three-quarters of the soleus units were of the latter slow type, whereas only one-half of the muscle fibres could be classified as type I by means of immunohistochemistry, suggesting that the myosin heavy chain may not be the major determinant of post-tetanic potentiation. Single, chemically skinned fibres of soleus were analyzed for myosin heavy and light chain components by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All fibres with type I heavy chain contained only the two slow light chains. On the other hand, almost all of the fibres with type IIA myosin heavy chain contained both fast and slow light chains. It is suggested that the discrepancy between the proportions of physiologically "fast" motor units and histochemical type IIA fibres may be the consequence of variable amounts of slow light chain associated with the fast IIA myosin heavy chain. 相似文献

Myosin purified from rabbit alveolar macrophages has been shown previously to be phosphorylated on the rod portion of the heavy chain and on the 20-kDa light chains (Trotter, J.A. (1982) Biochem Biophys. Res. Commun. 106, 1071-1077). Phosphorylation of the 20-kDa light chains by endogenous kinase activity is associated with a significant enhancement of the actin-activated MgATPase activity (Trotter, J.A., and Adelstein, R.S. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 8781-8785), whereas the function of heavy-chain phosphorylation is unknown. The isolated heavy chains of myosin purified from freshly harvested cells contain between 0.4 and 1.5 mol of PO4/mol of heavy chain, all esterified to serine residues. Using myosin phosphorylated by incubating living unstimulated macrophages in the presence of 32Pi, two-dimensional thin-layer mapping of tryptic peptides derived from heavy chains yields four phosphopeptides, which are phosphorylated to different extents. Limited trypsin digestion of similar radioactive myosin removes all radioactivity from the heavy chain while reducing its apparent molecular mass by less than 10 kDa. It is concluded that the heavy chain of macrophage myosin is phosphorylated on as many as four serines within 10 kDa of the tip of the tail. 相似文献
