Muscle ring finger-1 (MuRF1) is a muscle-specific protein implicated in the regulation of cardiac myocyte size and contractility. MuRF2, a closely related family member, redundantly interacts with protein substrates, and hetero-dimerizes with MuRF1. Mice lacking either MuRF1 or MuRF2 are phenotypica...

Our previous studies have implicated CHIP as a co-chaperone/ubiquitin ligase, whose activities yield protection against stress-induced apoptotic events. In this report, we demonstrate a stress-dependent interaction between CHIP (carboxyl terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein) and Daxx, death domain-...

In budding yeast, this signaling pathway— the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) response —culminates in dual phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the MAPK, Hog1 (ortholog of mammalian p38/SAPK). Induction of at least 50 genes requires nuclear Hog1, implying that transcriptional up-regulation...

MuRF1 -/- w/ Fenofibrate treatment leads to the reduction of proteolytic and fibrolytic enzymes, increasing hypertrophy Four strain-matched groups of 3-8 week old mice were investigated: 1) MuRF1 -/- Fenofibrate feed; 2) MuRF1 -/- chow feed; 3) MuRF1 +/+ Fenofibrate feed; 4) MuRF1 +/+ chow feed at...

Wild-type mice or mice lacking the expression of CHIP (Stub1) were subjected to either sham surgery (Sham) or trans-aortic banding (TAB). After one week, RNA was extracted from heart and run on the Agilent 4x44K gene expression array to look at differences in the cardiac transcriptional response to...

Individuals of African descent in the United States suffer disproportionately from diseases with a metabolic etiology (obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes), and from the pathological consequences of these disorders (hypertension and cardiovascular disease). Using a combination of genetic/geno...

Mice lacking the expression of Acsl1 in the heart (Acsl1H-/-) have impaired cardiac fatty acid oxidation and develop spontaneous cardiac hypertrophy due to increased mTOR activation. To explore how the loss of ACSL1 alters gene expression, we performed a global gene expression analysis on ventricula...

Background: BMPER, an orthologue of Drosophila melanogaster crossveinless-2, is a secreted factor that regulates BMP activity in endothelial cell precursors and during early cardiomyocyte differentiation. Although previously described in the heart, the role of Bmper in cardiac development and func...
