The expression of fast and slow isoforms of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase was studied in the developing chick embryo and in tissue-cultured myotubes. Monoclonal antibodies specific for each isoform were used as probes of protein expression. Analysis of expression of Ca2+-ATPase isoforms in chick thigh muscles by immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that all muscle fibers expressed both isoforms during their development. Primary generation muscle fibers expressed predominantly the slow isoform. Secondary generation fibers expressed both isoforms at comparable levels. Loss of the "inappropriate" isoforms occurred late in embryonic development. Immunoblot analysis of embryonic thigh muscle proteins indicated that the expression of the slow isoform varied little from embryonic Day 6 (ED6) to ED19, while expression of the fast isoform increased dramatically just prior to ED19. Tissue-cultured myotubes derived from ED12 chick thigh muscle myoblasts, plated at high density, expressed both isoforms of the Ca2+-ATPase at very similar levels. Clonal analysis of myoblasts taken from early (ED6) and late (ED12) chick thigh muscles showed that all muscle colonies expressed both forms, consistent with in vivo results. Fiber-type specific isoforms of the Ca2+-ATPase and myosin heavy chain are not coordinately expressed in developing chick skeletal muscle.  相似文献

Extraocular muscle is uniquely spared from damage in merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy. Using a murine model, we have tested the hypothesis that the maintenance of calcium homeostasis is mechanistic in extraocular muscle protection. Atomic absorption spectroscopy has demonstrated a strong correlation between the perturbation of calcium homeostasis in hindlimb muscle that is severely damaged and the absence of changes in calcium in extraocular muscle. If, as in other skeletal muscles, extraocular muscle fibers are destabilized by merosin deficiency, we would expect an increase in total muscle calcium coupled with an adaptive response in the high capacity/speed of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the eye muscle. However, we have not observed the expected increases in total muscle calcium content, Ca2+-ATPase activity, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger content, or smooth ER Ca2+-ATPase content that are predicted by this model. Instead, these results indicate that the increased membrane permeability that characterizes, and is potentially mechanistic in, myofiber degeneration in muscular dystrophy does not occur in merosin-deficient extraocular muscle. Thus, the high-capacity calcium-scavenging systems are not primarily responsible for extraocular muscle protection in muscular dystrophy.  相似文献

Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum was localized in cryostat sections from three different adult canine skeletal muscles (gracilis, extensor carpi radialis, and superficial digitalis flexor) by immunofluorescence labeling with monoclonal antibodies to the Ca2+-ATPase. Type I (slow) myofibers were strongly labeled for the Ca2+-ATPase with a monoclonal antibody (II D8) to the Ca2+-ATPase of canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum; the type II (fast) myofibers were labeled at the level of the background with monoclonal antibody II D8. By contrast, type II (fast) myofibers were strongly labeled for Ca2+-ATPase of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum. The subcellular distribution of the immunolabeling in type I (slow) myofibers with monoclonal antibody II D8 corresponded to that of the sarcoplasmic reticulum as previously determined by electron microscopy. The structural similarity between the canine cardiac Ca2+-ATPase present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the canine slow skeletal muscle fibers was demonstrated by immunoblotting. Monoclonal antibody (II D8) to the cardiac Ca2+-ATPase binds to only one protein band present in the extract from either cardiac or type I (slow) skeletal muscle tissue. By contrast, monoclonal antibody (II H11) to the skeletal type II (fast) Ca2+-ATPase binds only one protein band in the extract from type II (fast) skeletal muscle tissue. These immunopositive proteins coelectrophoresed with the Ca2+-ATPase of the canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and showed an apparent Mr of 115,000. It is concluded that the Ca2+-ATPase of cardiac and type I (slow) skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum have at least one epitope in common, which is not present on the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum in type II (fast) skeletal myofibers. It is possible that this site is related to the assumed necessity of the Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiac and type I (slow) skeletal myofibers to interact with phosphorylated phospholamban and thereby enhance the accumulation of Ca2+ in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum following beta-adrenergic stimulation.  相似文献

Fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscles of the rabbit were subjected to chronic low-frequency stimulation during different time periods. Changes in the relative amounts of mRNAs encoding fast and slow/cardiac Ca2+-ATPase isoforms were assessed through the use of an RNase-protection assay. Stimulation-induced increases in slow cardiac Ca2+-ATPase and phospholamban mRNAs were quantified by mRNA hybridization. Prolonged stimulation resulted in an exchange of the fast with the slow/cardiac Ca2+-ATPase isoform mRNAs. The exchange was complete after 72 d of stimulation as compared with normal slow-twitch soleus muscle. The tissue content of phospholamban mRNA reached levels similar to that found in normal slow-twitch soleus muscle by the same time. The conversion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum coincided with the fast-to-slow troponin C isoform transition, previously investigated in the same muscles.  相似文献

SERCA1a, the fast-twitch skeletal muscle isoform of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, was expressed in yeast using the promoter of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Golgi PMR1 Ca(2+)-ATPase and the vacuole PMC1 Ca(2+)-ATPase function together in Ca2+ sequestration and Ca2+ tolerance. SERCA1a expression restored growth of pmc1 mutants in media containing high Ca2+ concentrations, consistent with increased Ca2+ uptake in an internal compartment. SERCA1a expression also prevented synthetic lethality of pmr1 pmc1 double mutants on standard media. Electron microscopy and subcellular fractionation analysis showed that SERCA1a was localized in intracellular membranes derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. Finally, we found that SERCA1a ATPase activity expressed in yeast was regulated by calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase. This result indicates that calcineurin contributes to calcium homeostasis by modulating the ATPase activity of Ca2+ pumps localized in intra-cellular compartments.  相似文献

The cell biological hypothesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy assumes that deficiency in the membrane cytoskeletal element dystrophin triggers a loss in surface glycoproteins, such as beta-dystroglycan, thereby rendering the sarcolemmal membrane more susceptible to micro-rupturing. Secondary changes in ion homeostasis, such as increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels and impaired luminal Ca2+ buffering, eventually lead to Ca2+-induced myonecrosis. However, individual muscle groups exhibit a graded pathological response during the natural time course of x-linked muscular dystrophy. The absence of the dystrophin isofom Dp427 does not necessarily result in a severe dystrophic phenotype in all muscle groups. In the dystrophic mdx animal model, extraocular and toe muscles are not as severely affected as limb muscles. Here, we show that the relative expression and sarcolemmal localization of the central trans-sarcolemmal linker of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, beta-dystroglycan, is preserved in mdx extraocular and toe fibres by means of two-dimensional immunoblotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. Thus, with respect to improving myology diagnostics, the relative expression levels of beta-dystroglycan appear to represent reliable markers for the severity of secondary changes in dystrophin-deficient fibres. Immunoblotting and enzyme assays revealed that mdx toe muscle fibres exhibit an increased expression and activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. Chemical crosslinking studies demonstrated impaired calsequestrin oligomerization in mdx gastrocnemius muscle indicating that abnormal calsequestrin clustering is involved in reduced Ca2+ buffering of the dystrophic sarcoplasmic reticulum. Previous studies have mostly attributed the sparing of certain mdx fibres to the special protective properties of small-diameter fibres. Our study suggests that the rescue of dystrophin-associated glycoproteins, and possibly the increased removal of cytosolic Ca2+ ions, might also play an important role in protecting muscle cells from necrotic changes.  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

Antibody was raised in chickens against purified sarcoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+-activated ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase). The immunological relationship between the Ca2+-ATPase of fast-muscle and slow-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated by a one-step and a two-step competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results show marked antigenic differences between the membrane-bound Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles from fast muscle and slow muscle, beside differences in the membrane content of ATPase protein.  相似文献

Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase cDNA clones have been isolated from an adult rat heart cDNA library and the nucleotide sequence of the Ca2+-ATPase mRNA determined. The sequence has an open reading frame of 997 codons. It is identical to a cDNA isolated from a rat stomach cDNA library and 90% isologous to the rabbit and human slow/cardiac cDNAs. Nuclease S1 mapping analysis indicates that this sequence corresponds to the main Ca2+-ATPase mRNA present in heart and in slow skeletal muscle and that it is expressed in various proportions in smooth and non-muscle tissues, together with another isoform which differs from the cardiac form in the sequence of its 3'-end.  相似文献

This study investigates to what extent the expression of the slow myosin heavy chain (MyHCI) isoform and the slow type sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) isoform are co-regulated in fibers of regenerating skeletal soleus muscle. Both overexpression of cain, a calcineurin inhibitor, or partial tenotomy prevented the expression of MyHCI but left SERCA2a expression unaffected in fibers of regenerating soleus muscles. These data complement those from different experimental models and clearly show that the expression of MyHCI and SERCA2a--the major proteins mediating, respectively, the slow type of contraction and relaxation--are not coregulated in regenerating soleus muscle.  相似文献

The method of dynamic capacity in the model organic phase-water system was used to investigate a possibility of studying the electrical function of Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum of the rabbit hind limb skeletal muscles. Decane and decane solution of azolectin were used as an organic phase. It is stated that in the model systems the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase did not cause ATP-dependent changes in the boundary Volta potential (delta phi) irrespective of the presence of polyvalent cation chelates in the organic phase. The fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum is able of realizing Mg-ATP, Ca2+-dependent generation of delta phi only with phospholipids present in the organic phase. It is supposed that generation of delta phi of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum is due to the active transport of calcium ions by the reticulum Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase.  相似文献

Complete cDNAs for the fast-twitch Ca2+ -ATPase isoform (SERCA 1) were cloned and sequenced from blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) extraocular muscle (EOM). Complete cDNAs for SERCA 1 were also cloned from fast-twitch skeletal muscle of the same species. The two sequences are identical over the coding region except for the last five codons on the carboxyl end; EOM SERCA 1 cDNA codes for 996 amino acids and the fast-twitch cDNAs code for 991 aa. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that EOM SERCA 1 clusters with an isoform of Ca2+ -ATPase normally expressed in early development of mammals (SERCA 1B). This is the first report of SERCA 1B in an adult vertebrate. RNA hybridization assays indicate that 1B expression is limited to extraocular muscles. Because EOM gives rise to the thermogenic heater organ in marlin, we investigated whether SERCA 1B may play a role in heat generation, or if 1B expression is common in EOM among vertebrates. Chicken also expresses SERCA 1B in EOM, but rat expresses SERCA 1A; because SERCA 1B is not specific to heater tissue we conclude it is unlikely that it plays a specific role in intracellular heat production. Comparative sequence analysis does reveal, however, several sites that may be the source of functional differences between fish and mammalian SERCAs.  相似文献

We investigated the effects of chronic creatine loading and voluntary running (Run) on muscle fiber types, proteins that regulate intracellular Ca2+, and the metabolic profile in rat plantaris muscle to ascertain the bases for our previous observations that creatine loading results in a higher proportion of myosin heavy chain (MHC) IIb, without corresponding changes in contractile properties. Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of four groups: creatine-fed sedentary, creatine-fed run-trained, control-fed sedentary, and control-fed run-trained animals. Proportion and cross-sectional area increased 10% and 15% in type IIb fibers and the proportion of type IIa fibers decreased 11% in the creatine-fed run-trained compared with the control-fed run-trained group (P < 0.03). No differences were observed in fast Ca2+-ATPase isoform SERCA1 content (P > 0.49). Creatine feeding alone induced a 41% increase (P < 0.03) in slow Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2) content, which was further elevated by 33% with running (P < 0.02). Run training alone reduced parvalbumin content by 50% (P < 0.05). By comparison, parvalbumin content was dramatically decreased by 75% (P < 0.01) by creatine feeding alone but was not further reduced by run training. These adaptive changes indicate that elevating the capacity for high-energy phosphate shuttling, through creatine loading, alleviates the need for intracellular Ca2+ buffering by parvalbumin and increases the efficiency of Ca2+ uptake by SERCAs. Citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities were elevated by run training (P < 0.003) but not by run training + creatine feeding. This indicates that creatine loading during run training supports a faster muscle phenotype that is adequately supported by the existing glycolytic potential, without changes in the capacity for terminal substrate oxidation.  相似文献

The formation of fast and slow myotubes was investigated in embryonic chick muscle during primary and secondary myogenesis by immunocytochemistry for myosin heavy chain and Ca2(+)-ATPase. When antibodies to fast or slow isoforms of these two molecules were used to visualize myotubes in the posterior iliotibialis and iliofibularis muscles, one of the isoforms was observed in all primary and secondary myotubes until very late in development. In the case of myosin, the fast antibody stained virtually all myotubes until after stage 40, when fast myosin expression was lost in the slow myotubes of the iliofibularis. In the case of Ca2(+)-ATPase, the slow antibody also stained all myotubes until after stage 40, when staining was lost in secondary myotubes and in the fast primary myotubes of the posterior iliotibialis and the fast region of the iliofibularis. In contrast, the antibodies against slow muscle myosin heavy chain and fast muscle Ca2(+)-ATPase stained mutually exclusive populations of myotubes at all developmental stages investigated. During primary myogenesis, fast Ca2(+)-ATPase staining was restricted to the primary myotubes of the posterior iliotibialis and the fast region of the iliofibularis, whereas slow myosin heavy chain staining was confined to all of the primary myotubes of the slow region of the iliofibularis. During secondary myogenesis, the fast Ca2(+)-ATPase antibody stained nearly all secondary myotubes, while primaries in the slow region of the iliofibularis remained negative. Thus, in the slow region of the iliofibularis muscle, these two antibodies could be used in combination to distinguish primary and secondary myotubes. EM analysis of staining with the fast Ca2(+)-ATPase antibody confirmed that it recognizes only secondary myotubes in this region. This study establishes that antibodies to slow myosin heavy chain and fast Ca2(+)-ATPase are suitable markers for selective labeling of primary and secondary myotubes in the iliofibularis; these markers are used in the following article to describe and quantify the effects that chronic blockade of neuromuscular activity or denervation has on these populations of myotubes.  相似文献

Mutations in the skeletal muscle RyR1 isoform of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+-release channel confer susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia, which may be triggered by inhalational anesthetics such as halothane. Using immunoblotting, we show here that the ryanodine receptor, calmodulin, junctin, calsequestrin, sarcalumenin, calreticulin, annexin-VI, sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and the dihydropyridine receptor exhibit no major changes in their expression level between normal human skeletal muscle and biopsies from individuals susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. In contrast, protein gel-shift studies with halothane-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from normal and susceptible specimens showed a clear difference. Although the alpha2-dihydropyridine receptor and calsequestrin were not affected, clustering of the Ca2+-ATPase was induced at comparable halothane concentrations. In the concentration range of 0.014-0.35 mM halothane, anesthetic-induced oligomerization of the RyR1 complex was observed at a lower threshold concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum from patients with malignant hyperthermia. Thus the previously described decreased Ca2+-loading ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum from susceptible muscle fibers is probably not due to a modified expression of Ca2+-handling elements, but more likely a feature of altered quaternary receptor structure or modified functional dynamics within the Ca2+-regulatory apparatus. Possibly increased RyR1 complex formation, in conjunction with decreased Ca2+ uptake, is of central importance to the development of a metabolic crisis in malignant hyperthermia.  相似文献

Crystalline arrays of Ca2+ transport ATPase develop in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes after treatment with Na3VO4 in a calcium-free medium [ Dux , L. and Martonosi , A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 2599-2603]. The proportion of vesicles containing Ca2+-ATPase crystals in microsome preparations isolated from rat muscle of different fiber types (semimembranosus, levator ani, extensor digitorum longus, diaphragm, soleus, and heart) correlates well with the Ca2+-ATPase content and Ca2+-modulated ATPase activity. This implies that the concentration of Ca2+-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes of fast and slow skeletal or cardiac muscles differs only slightly, and the low Ca2+ transport activity of 'sarcoplasmic reticulum' preparations isolated from slow-twitch skeletal and cardiac muscles is due to the presence of large amount of non-sarcoplasmic-reticulum membrane elements. This is in accord with the relatively small differences in the density of 8.5-nm intramembranous particles seen by freeze-etch electron microscopy in sarcoplasmic reticulum of red and white muscles. The dimensions of the Ca2+-ATPase crystal lattice are similar in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes of different fiber types; therefore if structural differences exist between 'isoenzymes' of Ca2+-ATPase, these are not reflected in the crystal-lattice.  相似文献

Phospholamban is the regulator of the Ca(2+)-ATPase in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The mechanism of regulation appears to involve inhibition by dephosphorylated phospholamban, and phosphorylation may relieve this inhibition. Fast-twitch skeletal muscle SR does not contain phospholamban, and it is not known whether the Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform from this muscle may be also subject to regulation by phospholamban in a similar manner as the cardiac isoform. To determine this we reconstituted the skeletal isoform of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase with phospholamban in phosphatidylcholine proteoliposomes. Inclusion of phospholamban was associated with significant inhibition of the initial rates of Ca2+ uptake at pCa 6.0, and phosphorylation of phospholamban by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase reversed the inhibitory effects on the Ca2+ pump. Similar effects of phospholamban were also observed using phosphatidylcholine:phosphatidylserine proteoliposomes, in which the Ca2+ pump was activated by the negatively charged phospholipids (24). Regulation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase appeared to involve binding with the hydrophilic portion of phospholamban, as evidenced by cross-linking experiments, using a synthetic peptide that corresponded to amino acids 1-25 of phospholamban. These findings suggest that the fast-twitch isoform of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase may be also regulated by phospholamban, although this regulator is not expressed in fast-twitch skeletal muscles.  相似文献
