muscle contraction - seidler Flashcards
GSD V/ McArdle disease DM, s/s
- autosomal recessive disorder
- deficiency in muscle glycogen phosphorylase, rate limiting enzyme of glycogen degradation cleaving glucose residues from glycogen for release as glucose 1-phosphate
- suffer from fatigue, severe muscle cramping, myoglobinuria
- tolerate by reducing strenuous physical activity
mutations in liver phosphorylase causes
Hers disesae (GSD VI)
mutations in muscle phosphorylase causes
McArdle syndrome (GSD V)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
X-linked recessive disorder
1 in 3500 incidence
- progressive muscle wasting, wheel chair by age 12, respiratory failure death within 10 years
-
dystrophin
rod-like protein connecting cytoskeleton to basal lamina and stabilizing membranes and participating in calcium handling
partially absent in BMD, in frame mutation
completely absent in DMD, out of frame deletion
milder form of DMD with later onset
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)
cTn-I
cardiac muscle isoform of Tn-I, inhibitory, subunit of troponin
serum levels increase after myocardial infarction!
sTn-I
has two forms
skeletal muscle isoform of Tn-I, inhibitory, subunit of troponin
troponin subunits and importance
trimeric protein complex
- Tn-T tropomysin binding subunit; positions complex on filament
- Tn-C Calcium binding subunit; binds Ca2+ and relieves inhibition
- Tn-I inhibitory subunit; binds actin, inhibts myosin binding
Ca2+ binding changes proteins conformation, change transmitted to tropomyosin, allowing myosin to bind to actin filaments, resulting in muscle contraction
area of just thin filaments/ actin
I band
area of just thick filaments/ myosin
H zone
extends entire length of thick filaments
A band
disk off of which myosin chains coming ooff
M disk
disk off of which thin filaments coming off
Z disk
myosin head and tail
head region can hydrolyze ATP
self assembles at tails - bipolar assembly
