Sarcomeres are highly-structured protein arrays, consisting of precisely-aligned thick and thin filaments. The contractile mechanisms of sarcomeres are generally well understood, but how their patterning is initiated during early striated muscle development remains uncertain. Two of the most...

Biological pathways have the ability to tolerate mutations and evolve to control novel traits. Selection pressures act on these pathways playing a key role in the evolution and divergence of species. Sex determination in Caenorhabditis nematodes is a rapidly evolving trait which can provide...

Protein Quality Control Systems of the Thick Filament Protein Myosin in Zebrafish Skeletal Muscle Assembly and Maintenance
DownloadFall 2019
Skeletal and cardiac muscle function is dependent on the proper assembly and maintenance of the smallest contractile unit of striated muscle, the sarcomere. The sarcomere is composed of hundreds of proteins and associated factors, each of which must be properly folded, inserted into the...
