On the specificity of the acetylcholinesterase defect in dystrophic mice

Abstract: The tetrameric form of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in ReJ/129 dystrophic mice was demonstrated to be absent from endplate-poor regions of skeletal muscle but present in endplate-rich regions. Skeletal muscle secreted normal amounts of this form of AChE. Visceral organs had normal amounts and distribution of the AChE molecular forms. These results suggest that the AChE defect in dystrophic mice is limited to skeletal muscle, and the defect does not reflect an abnormality of AChE synthesis but probably reflects … Show more

“…Consequently, the deficiency of AChE tetramers, which has been described previously at the whole-muscle level (Gisiger and Stephens, 1988;Skau, 1990;Cabezas-Herrera et al, 1994a,b), seemed to affect internal membranes. However, it could be argued that some of the tetramers came from the SM.…”

“…3), which in agreement with previous results (Cabezas-Herrera et al, 1994a;Moral-Naranjo et al, 1996) corresponded to G~(amphiphilic monomers), G~(amphiphilic dimers), G( amphiphilic, detergent-interacting tetramers), G( hydrophilic, detergent-noninteracting tetramers), and asymmetric A12 forms. Sedimentation analyses in Brij 96-containing gradients allowed us to distinguish Gf rom G' forms, improving the resolution of the AChE forms with respect to previous studies in muscle extracts (Gisiger and Stephens, 1988;Skau, 1990). Considering the enzyme activity recovered in SI + S2 + S3 as the 100% value, the percentages of AChE compo- …”

“…The skeletal muscle of the Lama2 dy mouse shows a specific deficit of G 4 AChE forms (Gisiger and Stephens, 1988;Skau, 1990), an increase of amphiphilic AChE components (Cabezas-Herrera et al, 1994a), and a differential interaction of AChE and BuChE tetramers with RCA (Cabezas-Herrera et al, 1994b), these anomalies probably being related to the abnormal response of acetylcholine receptors in muscle cells of dystrophic mice Lansman, 1994, 1995). Neither the composition nor the glycosylation of ChE forms are altered in serum (Cabezas-Herrera et al, 1994b) or brain (Moral-Naranjo et al, 1996 of Lama2 dy mice.…”
