Abstract excerpt
We examined the functional role of distinct muscle-CAT (MCAT) elements during non-weight-bearing (NWB) regulation of a wild-type 293-base pair beta-myosin heavy chain (beta MyHC) transgene. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) revealed decreased NTEF-1, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, and Max binding at the human distal MCAT element when using NWB soleus vs. control soleus nuclear extract. Compared with the...
