Characteristics of myosin in nemaline myopathy. 1976

F A Sreter, and K E Aström, and F C Romanul, and R R Young, and H R Jones

Electron-microscopic, morphometric, histochemical and biochemical studies were carried out on muscle biopsies from a patient with the characteristic clinical and pathological findings of nemaline myopathy. The mean fiber diameter was decreased, and the vastus lateralis muscle biopsy consisted exclusively of slow twitch (Type I) fibers. Quantitative biochemical investigations revealed significantly low calcium uptake and ATPase activity of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum and decreased myosin ATPase activity. The electrophoretogram of myosin showed an abnormality in the light chain pattern which could not be explained by a disproportion of normal fiber types.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.

D002479 Inclusion Bodies A generic term for any circumscribed mass of foreign (e.g., lead or viruses) or metabolically inactive materials (e.g., ceroid or MALLORY BODIES), within the cytoplasm or nucleus of a cell. Inclusion bodies are in cells infected with certain filtrable viruses, observed especially in nerve, epithelial, or endothelial cells.
