Serial sections through motor end plate regions of mouse muscle fibres demonstrated junctions between the subsynaptic folds and the rough sarcoplasmic reticulum of the sole plate nuclei. The shape of these structures resembles that of the well-known peripheral couplings, diads and triads of muscle fibres. However, the location of the new junctions between the surface membrane and the sole plate nuclei at a large distance from myofibrils, indicates a different function. The connection with the rough sarcoplasmic reticulum possibly influence the regulation of fibre protein metabolism, for example, gene expression of acetylcholine receptor synthesis.

The Role of the GRP78/PERK/ATF4 Pathway in the Ability of Gua Lou Gui Zhi Decoction to Attenuate Apoptosis by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress after Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

Background: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is a key part of the apoptotic cascade that is initiated after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and is very important for research on poststroke rehabilitation. In addition, the unfolded protein response (UPR) plays an important role in ERS because it activates downstream apoptotic signal transduction and induces apoptosis through the glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78)/protein kinase R (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK)/activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) pathway. The Gua Lou Gui Zhi Decoction (GLGZD) ameliorated neuronal apoptosis of ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) had been proved in our previous study.

Aims: Phospholamban (PLB) stoichiometrically regulates the cardiac Ca pump (SERCA2a) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR); but in the nuclear envelope (NE) of cardiomyocytes (CMs), the PLB to SERCA2a molar ratio is higher, which highlights our poor understanding of how SR proteins distribute to their functional subcompartments. By tracking newly made PLB and SERCA2a in CMs, we will elucidate underlying cellular pathways responsible for their unique intracellular distributions.
Methods And Results: Highly specific monoclonal antibodies were used to compare the subcellular distributions of SERCA2a, PLB, and junctin (JCN) in dog heart tissue.

Aims: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has recently emerged as an important mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms by which ER stress leads to cardiac dysfunction remain poorly understood.
Methods And Results: In this study, we evaluated the early cardiac effects of ER stress induced by tunicamycin (TN) in mice.

In Neurospora crassa hyphae the localization of all seven chitin synthases (CHSs) at the Spitzenkörper (SPK) and at developing septa has been well analyzed. Hitherto, the mechanisms of CHSs traffic and sorting from synthesis to delivery sites remain largely unexplored. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae exit of Chs3p from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) requires chaperone Chs7p.

According to the current opinion, lymph-heart striated muscle represents a specialized type of skeletal muscles in frogs. Here, we studied muscle fibers in mechanically damaged lymph hearts during the first postoperative week using electron-microscopic autoradiography. We present evidence that both, the satellite cells and pre-existing muscle fibers bordering the site of injury, contribute directly to the lymph-heart muscle regeneration.
