title: Proteasome and myogenesis.
abstract: In this report, we examine the involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway during fusion and differentiation of myoblast primary cell cultures. Up-regulation of proteasome was observed at the maximum fusion rate and was preceded by an increase of unidentified ubiquitin-conjugates. Cell permeable proteasome inhibitors prevent fusion as do antisense oligodesoxyribonucleotides targetted to three proteasome subunits. Identical results were obtained using E3 ubiquitin-ligases dipeptide inhibitor. Involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in the regulation of myogenic factors was hypothesized.
