  • WIDESPREAD PANIC Street Dogs
    WIDESPREAD PANIC Street Dogs Widespread Panic has been together going on 30 years. Formed by original members vocalist/guitarist John “JB” Bell, bassist Dave Schools and late guitarist Michael Houser, who lived together in a suburban house in Athens, GA, where they met as students not far from the University of Georgia campus, later to be joined by drummer Todd Nance. Shortly after that, the band’s line-up was solidified with the addition of percussionist Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz and keyboard player John “JoJo” Hermann. Formed in the tradition of the great southern guitar blues bands, with an improvisatory ethos, Widespread Panic continue to explore a sound all its own on the band’s 12th album, Street Dogs, their first studio effort since 2010’s Dirty Side Down. When asked to describe Street Dogs, Widespread Panic’s debut album on Vanguard Records, JB references the way Dr. John describes the music scene in New Orleans as “a gumbo of musical influences.” JB cites Van Morrison and George Carlin as influences while Dave (Grateful Dead/Miles Davis), Mike (Emerson Lake and Palmer), Todd (Steely Dan), Sunny (Tito Puente), JoJo (classically trained with a love for Professor Longhair) and Jimmy (Beatles/ Mahavishnu Orchestra) all bring something different to the table. “Above all, after nearly thirty years together, we are arguably each other’s greatest influence,” JB concludes. That eclectic approach includes the funky New Orleans flavor of “Sell Sell,” their cover of The Animals keyboardist Alan Price’s song from the soundtrack of the 1973 Malcolm McDowell film O Lucky Man!, and the playful nod to a missing feline in the gentle prog- rock of “Steven’s Cat,” written and recorded in a single day in the studio.

Die stetige Identifizierung von neuen Z-Scheiben-lokalisierten Proteinen, sowie deren Relevanz in muskulären Krankheits- bildern, hat die Z-Scheibe zunehmend in den Fokus der aktuellen Forschung gerückt. Neben ihrer strukturgebenden Funktion zeigen neuere Studien, dass die Z-Scheibe ein Hotspot für Signalprozesse in Muskelzellen ist. Bisher gibt es jedoch keine globalen Untersuchungen zur Aufklärung der komplexen Signalwege assoziiert mit dieser Struktur. Um Z-Scheiben-assoziierte Signalprozesse näher zu charakterisieren, wurde im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit eine großangelegte Phosphoproteomstudie mit ausdifferenzierten, kon- trahierenden C2C12 Myotuben durchgeführt. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die tryptisch ver- dauten Proteine mittels SCX-Chromatographie fraktioniert. Die anschließende Phosphopep- tidanreicherung erfolgte mit Titandioxid, gefolgt von einer hochauflösenden massenspek- trometrischen Analyse. Insgesamt wurden 11.369 Phosphorylierungsstellen, darunter 586 in sarkomerischen Proteinen gefunden.
