Modulation of rat brain calpastatin efficiency by post-translational modifications

open access: yes, 1997
Calpains, the thiol proteinases of the calcium-dependent proteolytic system, are regulated by a natural inhibitor, calpastatin, which is present in brain tissue in two forms. Although both calpastatins are highly active on human erythrocyte calpain, only

KERAGAMAN GEN CALPASTATIN, CALPAIN 3 DAN MYOSTATIN PADA DOMBA DI UP3 JONGGOL

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2012
The aim of this study was to identify the genetic polymorphisms of calpastatin (CAST), calpain 3 (CAPN3) and myostatin (MSTN) on local sheep at Jonggol Animal Science Teaching and Research Unit (JASTRU). A total number of 294 blood samples were collected

Characterization of Tenderness-Related SNPs in Culled Holstein Cows: CAPN1 and CAST Genotypes Show Neutral Effects on Postmortem Meat Quality Parameters—A Pilot Study

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Meat from cull dairy cows is often used for human consumption; it is well known that tenderness adds value to the market, and dairy cattle meat is usually undervalued.

Ostrich calpastatin purification and partial characterization of the liver inhibitor

open access: yes, 2000
The isolation and purification of calpastatin from ostrich liver is presented, along with its physicochemical and kinetic properties. By using extraction from liver, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl, heating to 90 °C for 10 min and ...

New allelic variant of the ovine calpastatin gene

open access: yes, 2013
Calpastatin, a specific inhibitor of the calpains, participates in muscle growth and tenderization. Amplified fragment of 12 intron of CAST was used; the gene encoding calpastatin, from 164 lambs from synthetic lines for restriction fragment length ...

Quantification of Calpastatin Using an Optical Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor

open access: yes, 2006
An immunological biosensor for calpastatin was developed on a surface plasmon resonance based system (Biacore Q). The performance of the biosensor assay was evaluated using ovine and bovine muscle and heart extracts with known calpastatin activity.

Functional polymorphisms : bovine calpastatin gene and meat tenderness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Calpastatin is widely known as an endogenous specific inhibitor to the ubiquitously expressed calpain an enzyme responsible for proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins during post-mortem degradation of muscle.

Inducible expression of bovine calpastatin in C(2)C(12) mouse myoblasts and the relationship of restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the bovine calpastatin locus to postmortem calpastatin activity and Warner-Bratzler shear force in beef longissimus steaks

open access: yes, 1995
Two separate studies to define further the role of calpastatin in muscle growth and development and postmortem tenderization of meat were conducted. The objective of the first study was to determine if restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) at ...

Effects of oxidation, pH, and ionic strength on inhibition of [mu]- and m-calpain by calpastatin

open access: yes, 2005
The objective was to determine the effects of pH, ionic strength, and oxidation on inhibition of mu- and m-calpain by calpastatin. Calcium activated cysteine proteinases, mu- and m-calpain, were evaluated for activity under pH (7.5, 6.5, and 6.0), ionic ...

Regulation of Axon Degeneration after Injury and in Development by the Endogenous Calpain Inhibitor Calpastatin

open access: yes, 2013
SummaryAxon degeneration is widespread both in neurodegenerative disease and in normal neural development, but the molecular pathways regulating these degenerative processes and the extent to which they are distinct or overlapping remain incompletely ...
