The effect of recombinant caspase 3 on myofibrillar proteins in porcine skeletal muscle
Animal, 2008 The objective of this study was to investigate the potential role of the caspase protease family in meat tenderisation by examining if caspase 3 was capable of causing myofibril protein degradation.

Antisense-mediated exon skipping: a therapeutic strategy for titin-based dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
, 2015 Frameshift mutations in the TTN gene encoding titin are a major cause for inherited forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a heart disease characterized by ventricular dilatation, systolic dysfunction, and progressive heart failure. To date, there are no

Isolation of a new high molecular weight protein associated with desmin and vimentin filaments from avian embryonic skeletal muscle [PDF]
, 1982 Filaments with a diameter of 80-120 Å have been prepared from 14-d-old chick embryonic skeletal muscle, using a physiological salt solution and gel filtration chromatography.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated cells that contain mostly myofibrils suspended in an aqueous media termed the sarcoplasm. Select evidence suggests sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, or a disproportionate expansion of the sarcoplasm relative to myofibril

Cells, 2020 The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass plays a critical role in health and quality of life. One of the most potent regulators of skeletal muscle mass is mechanical loading, and numerous studies have led to a reasonably clear understanding of the ...

Genetic screen in Drosophila muscle identifies autophagy-mediated T-tubule remodeling and a Rab2 role in autophagy. [PDF]
, 2017 Transverse (T)-tubules make-up a specialized network of tubulated muscle cell membranes involved in excitation-contraction coupling for power of contraction. Little is known about how T-tubules maintain highly organized structures and contacts throughout

Thick filament‐associated myosin undergoes frequent replacement at the tip of the thick filament
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Myosin plays a fundamental role in muscle contraction. Approximately 300 myosins form a bipolar thick filament, in which myosin is continuously replaced by protein turnover.

Investigating the role of uncoupling of troponin I phosphorylation from changes in myofibrillar Ca(2+)-sensitivity in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
, 2014 Contraction in the mammalian heart is controlled by the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as it is in all striated muscle, but the heart has an additional signalling system that comes into play to increase heart rate and cardiac output during exercise or ...

Assembly and Dynamics of Myofibrils [PDF]
Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2010 We review some of the problems in determining how myofibrils may be assembled and just as importantly how this contractile structure may be renewed by sarcomeric proteins moving between the sarcomere and the cytoplasm. We also address in this personal review the recent evidence that indicates that the assembly and dynamics of myofibrils are conserved ...
