Arginyltransferase regulates alpha cardiac actin function, myofibril formation and contractility during heart development
23 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Post-translational arginylation mediated by arginyltransferase (Ate1) is essential for cardiovascular development and angiogenesis in mammals and directly affects myocardium structure in the developing heart. We recently showed that arginylation exerts a number of intracellular effects by modifying proteins involved in the functioning of the actin cytoskeleton and in cell motility. Here, we investigated the role...
