Effect of Resistance Exercise and Vitamin C Intake on Expression of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase and Telomere Repeat Binding Factor-2 Genes and the Diameter and Number of Myofibrils in Old Rats

open access: yesComplementary Medicine Journal of Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, 2021
Objective: Cell aging is one of the most important and fundamental step in cellular behavior and reduces muscle mass and myofibrils. This study aims to investigate the effect of resistance exercise along with vitamin C consumption on the expression of ...

Force Measurements From Myofibril to Filament [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Contractility, the generation of force and movement by molecular motors, is the hallmark of all muscles, including striated muscle. Contractility can be studied at every level of organization from a whole animal to single molecules. Measurements at sub-cellular level are particularly useful since, in the absence of the excitation-contraction coupling ...

Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) for Studying Sarcomeric Protein Interactions in Drosophila

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2020
Protein-protein interactions in Drosophila myofibrils are essential for their function and formation. Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) is an effective method for studying protein interactions and localization.

Genetic screen in Drosophila muscle identifies autophagy-mediated T-tubule remodeling and a Rab2 role in autophagy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Assembly and Dynamics of Myofibrils [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The effect of recombinant caspase 3 on myofibrillar proteins in porcine skeletal muscle

open access: yesAnimal, 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.

Protein phosphatase 5 regulates titin phosphorylation and function at a sarcomere-associated mechanosensor complex in cardiomyocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells; however, its function in cardiomyocytes is unknown. Under basal conditions, PP5 is autoinhibited, but enzymatic activity rises upon binding of specific factors ...

Recurring adaptation effect on energy metabolism of atrophic shin muscles [PDF]

open access: yesСаратовский научно-медицинский журнал, 2012
The article is devoted to recurring adaptation effect on energy metabolism of atrophic shin muscles. The purpose: Investigation of markers of activity of muscular fibers of gravitation-dependent muscles in condition of early posthypoki-netic readaptation.

Lipid composition of heart muscle homogenate

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1965
Using cytochrome oxidase and esterase assays as a guide, mitochondria and microsomes were prepared from ox heart homogenate with about 25% cross-contamination of phospholipid.

Cooperation between myofibril growth and costamere maturation in human cardiomyocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Costameres, as striated muscle-specific cell adhesions, anchor both M-lines and Z-lines of the sarcomeres to the extracellular matrix. Previous studies have demonstrated that costameres intimately participate in the initial assembly of myofibrils ...
