Abstract

The structure-function relationships of the sarcomeric proteins in the mammalian cardiac compartment remain ill-defined because of the lack of a suitable model in which they can be readily manipulated or exchanged in vivo. To establish the validity of the transgenic paradigm for remodeling the mammalian heart, the murine alpha -cardiac myosin heavy chain gene promoter was used to express a ventricular myosin light chain-2 transgene (MLC2v) in both the atria and ventricles of the adult animal. Expression resulted in high levels of the transgene's transcript in both compartments. In the ventricle, the transgene was expressed against the background expression of the normal isoform. In the atrium, the transgene's expression would be ectopic, in that normally, MLC2v expression is restricted to the ventricle. Ectopic expression of the transgene in the atria resulted in a complete replacement of the atrial myosin light chain-2 protein isoform, although the endogenous isoform's steady state transcript levels were unchanged. In contrast, ventricular expression of the transgene had no effect at the protein level, despite an eightfold increase in MLC2v transcript levels. The data show that sarcomeric protein stoichiometry is maintained ri...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
