Coordination of protease systems on muscle protein degradation and identification of calpain substrates using the yeast two-hybrid system

Purintrapiban, Juntipa (1999-07-26)

The first goal of this study was to evaluate the roles of different intracellular proteolytic systems in accelerated skeletal muscle protein degradation. Total, myofibrillar and non-myofibrillar proteolysis were determ ...
Effects of ciliary neutrophic factor (CNTF) on protein turnover in cultured L8 rat muscle cells

Wang, Mei-Chuan (1997-12-02)

Skeletal muscle proteins are the largest amino acid pool in animal body and are continuously degraded and resynthesized. Dozens of factors have been shown to influence the balance between synthesis and degradation and th ...
Regulation of skeletal muscle protein degradation by u-calpain and development of a skeletal muscle-specific inducible expression system

Xiao, Ying-Yi (2001-03-15)

The first goal of this study was to understand the role of u-calpain in skeletal muscle protein degradation in cultured muscle cells. Several strategies were developed to down-regulate endogenous u-calpain activity and ...
