Four myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs); MyoD, Myf-5, MRF4 and Myogenin direct muscle tissue differentiation. Heterodimers of MRFs with E-proteins activate muscle-specific gene expression by binding to E-box motifs d(CANNTG) in their promoters or enhancers. We showed previously that in contrast to the favored binding of E-box by MyoD-E47 heterodimers, homodimeric MyoD associated preferentially with quadruplex structures of regulatory sequences of muscle-specific genes. To inquire whether other MRFs shared the DNA binding preferences of MyoD, the DNA affinities of hetero- and homo-dimeric MyoD, MRF4 and Myogenin were compared. Similarly to MyoD, heterodimers with E47 of MRF4 or Myogenin bound E-box more tightly than quadruplex DNA. However, unlike homodimeric MyoD or MRF4, Myogenin homodimers associated weakly and nonpreferentially with quadruplex DNA. By reciprocally switching basic regions between MyoD and Myogenin we demonstrated dominance of MyoD in determining the quadruplex DNA-binding affinity. Thus, Myogenin with an implanted MyoD basic region bound quadruplex DNA nearly as tightly as MyoD. However, a grafted Myogenin basic region did not diminish the high affinity of homodimeric MyoD for quadruplex DNA. We speculate that the dissimilar interaction of MyoD and Myogenin with tetrahelical domains in muscle gene promoters may differently regulate their myogenic activities. 相似文献

The objectives of these studies were to determine if (1) hypertrophy-stimulated myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) mRNA increases
occur in the absense of proliferating satellite cells, and (2) acute hypertrophy occurs without satellite cell proliferation.
Adult and aged quails were exposed to 0 or 2500 Rads gamma irradiation, and then wing muscles were stretch-overloaded for
3 or 7 days. MRF mRNA levels in stretch-overloaded and contralateral anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) muscles were determined
after 3 days; hypertrophy was determined after 7 days. The elimination of proliferating cells in irradiated muscles was verified
histologically by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Relative levels of MRF4, MyoD, and myogenin mRNA were elevated 100%–400%
in stretch-overloaded ALD muscles from irradiated adult quails indicating that satellite cell proliferation was not a prerequisite
for MRF mRNA increases. Myogenin was the only MRF that exhibited mRNA increases that were lowered by irradiation. This suggests
that satellite cells contribute only to myogenin mRNA increases in non-irradiated adult muscles following 3 days of stretch-overload.
Stretch-overloaded ALD muscles from aged quails had a relative increase in myogenin mRNA of ∼150%. The myogenin increase was
the same in non-irradiated and irradiated aged animals and also the same as that in stretch-overloaded muscles from irradiated
adult quails. Together, these data indicate that attenuated increases in MRF expression in muscles from aged animals are attributable
to lower satellite cell MRF expression. ALD muscle masses and protein contents in adult irradiated quails approximately doubled
after 7 days of stretch-overload demonstrating hypertrophy despite the elimination of satellite cell proliferation.

Differential regulation of MyoD and myogenin mRNA levels by nerve induced muscle activity. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
The levels of mRNAs coding for the myogenic factors MyoD and myogenin were measured during synapse formation in developing muscle and in adult muscle, after denervation and reinnervation and after muscle paralysis induced by blocking of neuromuscular transmission by neurotoxins known to alter the density and localization of synaptic proteins such as the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). The mRNA levels of both factors depend on usage of the neuromuscular synapses, but they change to different extents. Myogenin mRNA levels decrease drastically with innervation and increase strongly following blocking of transmission whereas the level of MyoD mRNA showed only a small decrease in response to innervation, denervation or muscle paralysis by neurotoxins. Neither mRNA showed a synapse-related cellular distribution. The results suggest that nerve-induced electrical muscle activity determines the cellular ratio of MyoD and myogenin mRNAs in adult muscle. 相似文献

We have cloned an 11.3-kb rat genomic DNA fragment encompassing the muscle regulatory factor 4 (MRF4) protein-coding sequence, 8.5 kb of 5'-flanking sequence, and 1.0 kb of 3'-flanking sequence. In order to study MRF4 gene expression, the rat myogenic cell line, L6J1-C, which expresses the endogenous MRF4 gene only in differentiated myofibers, was transfected stably with the full-length genomic clone and various 5' deletions. RNase protection assays demonstrated that MRF4 genes containing as little as 430 bp of 5'-flanking sequence exhibited an increase in expression as the cells differentiated into myofibers, indicating that elements responsible for fiber-specific expression are contained within this cloned DNA fragment. Similar up-regulation was observed with genes containing 1.5 kb of 5'-flanking sequence. Interestingly, MRF4 genes containing 5.0 kb and 8.5 kb of 5'-flanking sequence were up-regulated to even higher levels, suggesting that additional myofiber-specific regulatory elements located between 1.5 and 5.0 kb upstream from the coding region play a role in regulating the expression of this muscle-specific gene. 相似文献
