“…Dystrophic muscle microsomes showed lower Ca2~-ATPase(a SR marker) activity and higher Mg2~-ATPaseand ouabain-sensitive Na + K + -ATPase activities [two proteins located at the surface membrane (SM)] and cholesterol content than NMV. This could indicate that, in agreement with MegIas and Saborido (1990), the SM proportion is higher in DMV. However, it could also reflect the increased content of sarcolemmal enzyme markers in dystrophic muscle, as assessed by the elevation of ouabain-binding sites in the pathological tissue (AbdelAziz et al, 1985;Dunn et al, 1995).…”

“…In either the absence or the presence of activators, the ecto-ATPase activity continued to increase over all concentrations of ATP tested (5 µM to 10 mM) ( Figure 6A). In agreement with previous studies [5,7,9], the ecto-ATPase by itself exhibited biphasic double-reciprocal plots, consistent with negative co-operativity or interconvertible substrate-binding sites that do not coexist independently ; in the presence of Con A this behaviour was eliminated, producing simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics ( Figure 6B) with both increased K m and increased V max . Although digitonin (0.5 mg\ml) enhanced ecto-ATPase activity at all ATP concentrations used, the biphasic response was not abolished and apparent K m values for the high-affinity and lowaffinity ATP-binding sites did not change significantly.…”

“…One of the most interesting features is the response to concanavalin A (Con A) and other lectins. Con A stimulates the activity of the membranebound enzyme 6-10-fold, abolishes the negative co-operativity of ATP, yielding classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics, changes the unusual temperature dependence curve of activity to a linear relationship up to 45 mC, and eliminates inhibition by Triton X-100 and saponin [5][6][7]9]. Moulton et al [5] proposed that these effects occur through the modulation by Con A of a low-affinity nucleotide regulatory site where ATP and Triton X-100, as well as a variety of lipophilic and amphipathic agents [10], could interact.…”

“…Several laboratories have reported structural and molecular abnormalities in the affected muscles of dystrophic chicken: disarrangement of fibre structure with degeneration of contractile apparatus and alterations in the expression of myofibrillar protein isoforms; marked proliferation of T-tubular and junctional SR membranes accompanied by structural and biochemical defects, such as changes in the spatial relationship between T-tubules and SR, an over-expression of ryanodine receptor sites or a decrease in Mg2+-ATPase activity (Scales & Yasumura, 1982;Martonosi, 1989;Megias & Saborido, 1990;Pessah & Schiedt, 1990;Hayakawa et al, 1993). Since dystrophic chicken muscle present a normal expression of dystrophin (Hoffman et al, 1988), the lacking protein in DMD muscle, the primary cause of the avian disorder must be different from that of DMD.…”

“…Since dystrophic chicken muscle present a normal expression of dystrophin (Hoffman et al, 1988), the lacking protein in DMD muscle, the primary cause of the avian disorder must be different from that of DMD. The striking proliferation and alterations of T-tubules observed in dystrophic chicken muscle (Malouf et al, 1981;Scales & Yasumura, 1982;Martonosi, 1989;Megias & Saborido, 1990), together with the increased total calcium content in pectoral muscles and the reported retardation of dystrophic symptoms in chickens treated with calcium channel blockers (Hudecki et al, 1984), prompted us to investigate the possible involvement of voltage-dependent calcium channels in chicken dystrophy pathological processes.…”
