Specific fluorescent labeling of chicken myofibril Z-line proteins catalyzed by guinea pig liver transglutaminase [PDF]
, 1979 Guinea pig liver transglutaminase has been found to catalyze the covalent incorporation of dansylcadaverine into chicken skeletal muscle myofibril proteins.

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.

Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase increases myofibril viscosity in cardiac myocytes
Cytoskeleton, 2020 The coordinated generation of mechanical forces by cardiac myocytes is required for proper heart function. Myofibrils are the functional contractile units of force production within individual cardiac myocytes.

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 ...

Myofibril contraction and cross-linking drive nuclear movement to the periphery of skeletal muscle
Nature Cell Biology, 2017 Nuclear movements are important for multiple cellular functions, and are driven by polarized forces generated by motor proteins and the cytoskeleton. During skeletal myofibre formation or regeneration, nuclei move from the centre to the periphery of the ...

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

Modular proteins from the Drosophila sallimus (sls) gene and their expression in muscles with different extensibility [PDF]
, 2007 The passive elasticity of the sarcomere in striated muscle is determined by large modular proteins, such as titin in vertebrates. In insects, the function of titin is divided between two shorter proteins, projectin and sallimus (Sls), which are the ...

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 ...

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.
