Abstract
AMP deaminase, a ubiquitous enzyme in eucaryotes, plays a central role in energy metabolism. In the present study, RNase protection analyses and immunoprecipitation with tissue-specific antisera were used to examine the transcripts and peptides of AMP deaminase produced during myogenesis in vivo and during myocyte differentiation in vitro. In embryonic muscle and undifferentiated myoblasts, a 3.4-kilobase (kb) transcript encoded a 78-kilodalton (kDa) AMP deaminase peptide that cross-reacted with antisera raised to the AMP deaminase isoform purified from kidney of the adult animal. In perinatal muscle and myocytes at an intermediate stage of differentiation in vitro, a 2.5-kb transcript was produced, and it encoded a 77.5-kDa AMP deaminase peptide that cross-reacted with antisera to the isoform purified from adult heart muscle. At about the time of birth, another 2.5-kb AMP deaminase transcript that encoded an 80-kDa peptide became detectable. This peptide cross-reacted with antisera to the predominant isoform purified from adult skeletal muscle.
