The mechanism underlying dramatic loss of muscle contractile function with inducible deletion of both E1A binding protein p300 (p300) and cAMP-response element-binding protein binding protein (CBP) in skeletal muscle remains unknown. Here, we find that impairments in mitochondrial function or cross-bridge cycling are not the underlying mechanism of action. Future work will investigate other aspects of excitation-contraction coupling, such as Ca 2+ handling and membrane excitability, as contractile function could be rescued by permeabilizing skeletal muscle, which provides exogenous Ca 2+ and bypasses membrane depolarization.
