  • Title: Accelerated protein turnover in the skeletal muscle of dystrophic mice.
    Author: Mizobuchi M, Inoue R, Miyaka M, Kakimoto Y.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1985 Nov 22; 843(1-2):78-82. PubMed ID: 3933571.
    Abstract:
    The excretion of 3-methylhistidine increased in the urine of dystrophic mice C57BL/6J. The content of 3-methylhistidine residue decreased in the muscle proteins of dystrophic mice, but not in other organs. Methylated proteins in the skeletal muscle, actin and myosin, were partially purified from the dystrophic and control muscles. The amount of 3-methylhistidine residue in unit weight of the actin and myosin preparations was normal in dystrophic muscle. These three facts indicate that the turnover rates of actin and myosin are increased in the muscle of the dystrophic mice.
