Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether or not alterations of Gs alpha can be detected with cholera toxin-induced ADP-ribosylation in myocardial membranes from patients with heart failure. Therefore, Gs alpha was radiolabeled by cholera toxin-catalzyed (32P)ADP-ribosylation with (32P)NAD as substrate. In membranes from left ventricular myocardium of six patients with dilated cardiomyopathy classified as NYHA IV and three samples from two non-failing donor hearts, labeling was too weak to allow detection of possible changes in the amount of Gs alpha. Therefore, the cytosolic small molecular weight G protein ARF (ADP-ribosylation factor), a cofactor for cholera toxin-induced ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, was partially purified from bovine cerebral cortex. ARF activity was quantified by its ability to enhance auto-ADP-ribosylation of cholera toxin A1-subunit. Gs alpha was identified by comparing the ADP-ribosylation patterns of myocardial membranes, membranes prepared from human leukemia (HL 60) and S 49 mouse lymphoma wild type cells (45 kDa-band present) with membranes of the Gs alpha-deficient S 49 variant cyc- (45 kDa-band missing). In the presence of ARF, specific radiolabeling of the Mr 45,000 subtype of Gs a...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
