Thermo-reversible gelation of myofibrillar protein: Relationship between coiled-coil and thermal reversibility.

ABSTRACT: Thermo-reversible gel of myofibrillar protein (MP) can be made by tactics of elaborate deamidation using protein-glutaminase (PG), and this work aimed to disclose the link between thermally reversible gelation of MP and the coiled-coil (CC). Enzymatic deamidation fragmented myofibril filaments and triggered structural reassembly to create small-sized aggregates. The coiling and dissociation of CC structure in the myosin tails is the fundamental structural basis of the PG deamidated MP (DMP) in the dynamic evolution of reversible gelation. After specific inhibition of CC assembly by trifluoroethanol (TFE), the thermo-reversible gel ability of DMP was impaired, which confirmed that the dynamic assembly of CC with temperature response played a key role in the thermo-reversible gelation of DMP
