  • Title: Incorporation of amino acids into soluble and membrane protein fractions of dystrophic hamsters.
    Author: Nicholls DM, Creasy RC, Chin-See MW, Carlisle JA, Lange AB, Saleem M.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1980 Aug 15; 190(2):341-8. PubMed ID: 7470053.
    Abstract:
    The incorporation of labelled leucine was measured in protein fractions of muscle in intact control and dystrophic female hamsters and also in cell-free preparations obtained from these animals. The labelling of the soluble sarcoplasmic protein fraction, the microsomal protein fraction and the sarcolemma protein fraction was increased in the dystrophic hindleg muscle. The specific radioactivities of the sarcolemma protein fraction and other fractions were increased markedly relative to that of free leucine in the dystrophic muscle. In cell-free preparations where ribonuclease effects were avoided, the dystrophic muscle exhibited an increased synthesis of peptide bonds.
