A Supramolecular Polymerization Approach to the Growth of the Myofibril
Extended linear structures self-assemble by the multi-stage-open-association mechanism of supramolecular polymerization (MSOA). Application of the model requires the identification of a repeating unit, the main-chain supramolecular bond, and the binding ...

Sarcomere formation occurs by the assembly of multiple latent protein complexes. [PDF]
The stereotyped striation of myofibrils is a conserved feature of muscle organization that is critical to its function. Although most components that constitute the basic myofibrils are well-characterized biochemically and are conserved across the animal

Effects of high-pressure treatment on the structure and function of myofibrils
The effects of high pressure (40–70 MPa) on the structure and function of myofibrils were investigated by high pressure microscopy. When this pressure was applied to myofibrils immersed in relaxing solution, the sarcomere length remained almost unchanged,

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

Lipid composition of heart muscle homogenate
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
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 ...

Mechanobiology of muscle and myofibril morphogenesis
Muscles generate forces for animal locomotion. The contractile apparatus of muscles is the sarcomere, a highly regular array of large actin and myosin filaments linked by gigantic titin springs. During muscle development many sarcomeres assemble in series into long periodic myofibrils that mechanically connect the attached skeleton elements.
