Myofibrillar protein turnover. Synthesis rates of myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein fractions in different muscles and the changes observed during postnatal development and in response to feeding and starvation.

ABSTRACT: Measurement of rates of synthesis of skeletal-muscle proteins in adult rats shows that the faster overall rate of turnover in diaphragm and soleus muscles compared with several other, more glycolytic, muscles is also exhibited by the myofibrillar proteins, since the ratio of sarcoplasmic to myofibrillar protein synthesis is similar for all muscles. Further, throughout postnatal development, when the overall turnover rate falls with age, parallel changes occur for the myofibrillar proteins, as indicated by a constant ratio of sarcoplasmic to myofibrillar protein synthesis (2.06) in the steady state after overnight starvation. Only in the youngest (4 weeks old) rats is a slightly lower ratio observed (1.72). These results indicate that, when changes in the overall turnover rate of muscle proteins occur, the relative turnover of the two major protein fractions stays constant. However, measurements in the non-steady state during growth and after starvation for 4 days show that the relative synthesis rates of the two fractions change as a result of a disproportionate increase in myofibrillar protein synthesis during growth and decrease during starvation. Thus the synthesis rate of the slower-turning-over myofibrillar protein fraction is more sensitive to nutritional state than is that of the sarcoplasmic protein. It is suggested that such responses may help to maintain constant tissue composition during non-steady-state conditions of growth and atrophy.

Flightin, a novel myofibrillar protein of Drosophila stretch-activated muscles.

Project description:The indirect flight muscles of Drosophila are adapted for rapid oscillatory movements which depend on properties of the contractile apparatus itself. Flight muscles are stretch activated and the frequency of contraction in these muscles is independent of the rate of nerve impulses. Little is known about the molecular basis of these adaptations. We now report a novel protein that is found only in flight muscles and has, therefore, been named flightin. Although we detect only one gene (in polytene region 76D) for flightin, this protein has several isoforms (relative gel mobilities, 27-30 kD; pIs, 4.6-6.0). These isoforms appear to be created by posttranslational modifications. A subset of these isoforms is absent in newly emerged adults but appears when the adult develops the ability to fly. In intact muscles flightin is associated with the A band of the sarcomere, where evidence suggests it interacts with the myosin filaments. Computer database searches do not reveal extensive similarity to any known protein. However, the NH2-terminal 12 residues show similarity to the NH2-terminal sequence of actin, a region that interacts with myosin. These features suggest a role for flightin in the regulation of contraction, possibly by modulating actin-myosin interaction.

Differential Stimulation of Post-Exercise Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis in Humans Following Isonitrogenous, Isocaloric Pre-Exercise Feeding.

Project description:The aim of this study was to test the effects of two disparate isonitrogenous, isocaloric pre-exercise feeds on deuterium-oxide (D2O) derived measures of myofibrillar protein synthesis (myoPS) in humans. Methods: In a double-blind parallel group design, 22 resistance-trained men aged 18 to 35 years ingested a meal (6 kcal·kg-1, 0.8 g·kg-1 carbohydrate, 0.2 g·kg-1 fat) with 0.33 g·kg-1 nonessential amino acids blend (NEAA) or whey protein (WHEY), prior to resistance exercise (70% 1RM back-squats, 10 reps per set to failure, 25% duty cycle). Biopsies of M. vastus lateralis were obtained pre-ingestion (PRE) and +3 h post-exercise (POST). The myofibrillar fractional synthetic rate (myoFSR) was calculated via deuterium labelling of myofibrillar-bound alanine, measured by gas chromatography-pyrolysis-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-Pyr-IRMS). Data are a mean percentage change (95% CI). Results: There was no discernable change in myoFSR following NEAA (10(-5, 25) %, p = 0.235), whereas an increase in myoFSR was observed after WHEY (28 (13, 43) %, p = 0.003). Conclusions: Measured by a D2O tracer technique, a disparate myoPS response was observed between NEAA and WHEY. Pre-exercise ingestion of whey protein increased post-exercise myoPS, whereas a NEAA blend did not, supporting the use of NEAA as a viable isonitrogenous negative control.

Residues of Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics Induce Carbonylation and Reduce In Vitro Digestion of Sarcoplasmic and Myofibrillar Beef Proteins.

Project description:Although the impact of oxidation on human health has been of growing interest, the oxidation of proteins, major component of meat, has received little attention. This paper describes the in vitro effect of five fluoroquinolones (FQs) on carbonylation of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins of beef when found at concentrations close to the maximum residue limit (MRL). Samples were treated individually with the FQs, determining in each protein fraction the carbonyl index, protein content and oxidized proteins identification, using 2,4-dinitrophenyhydrazine (DNPH) alkaline assay, Western blot and Bradford methods, and mass spectrometry, respectively. Besides, the in vitro effect of these residues on gastric and duodenal digestion of proteins was evaluated. The carbonylation induced by FQs affected both protein fractions being significant with respect to the blank in 73.3% of cases. This damage was correlated with loss of solubility and digestibility, with sarcoplasmic proteins the most affected. Danofloxacin and enrofloxacin were the FQs with greatest oxidant effects, especially affecting glycolysis and glycogen proteins. Our results suggest that these residues induce irreversible oxidative damage on the main beef proteins and could affect their nutritional value.

Myofibrillar-protein isoforms and sarcoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+-transport activity of single human muscle fibres.

Project description:In this study the polymorphism of myofibrillar proteins and the Ca2+-uptake activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum were analysed in single fibres from human skeletal muscles. Two populations of histochemically identified type-I fibres were found differing in the number of light-chain isoforms of the constituent myosin, whereas the pattern of light chains of fast myosin of type-IIA and type-IIB fibres was indistinguishable. Regulatory proteins, troponin and tropomyosin, and other myofibrillar proteins, such as M- and C-proteins, showed specific isoforms in type-I and type-II fibres. Furthermore, tropomyosin presented different stoichiometries of the alpha- and beta-subunits between the two types of fibres. Sarcoplasmic-reticulum volume, as indicated by the maximum capacity for calcium oxalate accumulation, was almost identical in type-I and type-II fibres, whereas the rate of Ca2+ transport was twice as high in type-II as compared with type-I fibres. It is concluded that, in normal human muscle fibres, there is a tight segregation of fast and slow isoforms of myofibrillar proteins that is very well co-ordinated with the relaxing activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These findings may thus represent a molecular correlation with the differences of the twitch-contraction time between fast and slow human motor units. This tight segregation is partially lost in the muscle fibres of elderly individuals.

Proteomic Changes in Sarcoplasmic and Myofibrillar Proteins Associated with Color Stability of Ovine Muscle during Post-Mortem Storage.

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate the proteomic characteristics for the sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteomes of M. longissimus lumborum (LL) and M. psoasmajor (PM) from Small-tailed Han Sheep. During post-mortem storage periods (1, 3, and 5 days), proteome analysis was applied to elucidate sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein changes in skeletal muscles with different color stability. Proteomic results revealed that the identified differentially abundant proteins were glycolytic enzymes, energy metabolism enzymes, chaperone proteins, and structural proteins. Through Pearson's correlation analysis, a few of those identified proteins (Pyruvate kinase, Adenylate kinase isoenzyme 1, Creatine kinase M-type, and Carbonic anhydrase 3) were closely correlated to representative meat color parameters. Besides, bioinformatics analysis of differentially abundant proteins revealed that the proteins mainly participated in glycolysis and energy metabolism pathways. Some of these proteins may have the potential probability to be predictors of meat discoloration during post-mortem storage. Within the insight of proteomics, these results accumulated some basic theoretical understanding of the molecular mechanisms of meat discoloration.

Ethanol and glycogen synthesis in cardiothoracic and skeletal muscles following glucose re-feeding after starvation in the rat.

Project description:The pattern of glycogen deposition in individual cardiothoracic and skeletal muscles in response to oral and intraperitoneal glucose administration was examined in 40 h-starved rats. Rates of glycogen synthesis were consistently higher in oxidative muscles than in non-oxidative muscles. Intragastric ethanol administration was associated with an impaired glycaemic response and the almost total abolition of glycogen deposition in oxidative muscles in response to oral or intraperitoneal glucose re-feeding. This effect was dose-dependent and differential, in that ethanol produced no equivalent impairment in glycogen deposition in non-oxidative muscles. Ethanol treatment also selectively promoted glycogenolysis in oxidative muscles in the starved state. There was positive correlation (P < 0.001) between the decrease in glycogen levels in soleus and diaphragm muscles in response to increasing ethanol doses and blood glucose and lactate concentrations after intraperitoneal glucose administration, implying that the basis for the impairment in glycogen synthesis may be diminished glucose availability. The mechanism whereby ethanol may differentially compromise carbohydrate metabolism in oxidative muscles is discussed.

Selective Lysosome Membrane Turnover Is Induced by Nutrient Starvation.

Project description:Lysosome function is essential for cellular homeostasis, but quality-control mechanisms that maintain healthy lysosomes remain poorly characterized. Here, we developed a method to measure lysosome turnover and use this to identify a selective mechanism of membrane degradation that involves lipidation of the autophagy protein LC3 onto lysosomal membranes and the formation of intraluminal vesicles through microautophagy. This mechanism is induced in response to metabolic stress resulting from glucose starvation or by treatment with pharmacological agents that induce osmotic stress on lysosomes. Cells lacking ATG5, an essential component of the LC3 lipidation machinery, show reduced ability to regulate lysosome size and degradative capacity in response to activation of this mechanism. These findings identify a selective mechanism of lysosome membrane turnover that is induced by stress and uncover a function for LC3 lipidation in regulating lysosome size and activity through microautophagy.

Postnatal Development of Right Ventricular Myofibrillar Biomechanics in Relation to the Sarcomeric Protein Phenotype in Pediatric Patients with Conotruncal Heart Defects.

Project description:The postnatal development of myofibrillar mechanics, a major determinant of heart function, is unknown in pediatric patients with tetralogy of Fallot and related structural heart defects. We therefore determined the mechanical properties of myofibrils isolated from right ventricular tissue samples from such patients in relation to the developmental changes of the isoforms expression pattern of key sarcomere proteins involved in the contractile process. Tissue samples from the infundibulum obtained during surgery from 25 patients (age range 15 days to 11 years, median 7 months) were split into half for mechanical investigations and expression analysis of titin, myosin heavy and light chain 1, troponin-T, and troponin-I. Of these proteins, fetal isoforms of only myosin light chain 1 (ALC-1) and troponin-I (ssTnI) were highly expressed in neonates, amounting to, respectively, 40% and 80%, while the other proteins had switched to the adult isoforms before or around birth. ALC-1 and ssTnI expression subsequently declined monoexponentially with a halftime of 4.3 and 5.8 months, respectively. Coincident with the expression of ssTnI, Ca(2+) sensitivity of contraction was high in neonates and subsequently declined in parallel with the decline in ssTnI expression. Passive tension positively correlated with Ca(2+) sensitivity but not with titin expression. Contraction kinetics, maximal Ca(2+)-activated force, and the fast phase of the biphasic relaxation positively correlated with the expression of ALC-1. The developmental changes in myofibrillar biomechanics can be ascribed to fetal-to-adult isoform transition of key sarcomeric proteins, which evolves regardless of the specific congenital cardiac malformations in our pediatric patients.

Swimming muscles power suction feeding in largemouth bass.

Project description:Most aquatic vertebrates use suction to capture food, relying on rapid expansion of the mouth cavity to accelerate water and food into the mouth. In ray-finned fishes, mouth expansion is both fast and forceful, and therefore requires considerable power. However, the cranial muscles of these fishes are relatively small and may not be able to produce enough power for suction expansion. The axial swimming muscles of these fishes also attach to the feeding apparatus and have the potential to generate mouth expansion. Because of their large size, these axial muscles could contribute substantial power to suction feeding. To determine whether suction feeding is powered primarily by axial muscles, we measured the power required for suction expansion in largemouth bass and compared it to the power capacities of the axial and cranial muscles. Using X-ray reconstruction of moving morphology (XROMM), we generated 3D animations of the mouth skeleton and created a dynamic digital endocast to measure the rate of mouth volume expansion. This time-resolved expansion rate was combined with intraoral pressure recordings to calculate the instantaneous power required for suction feeding. Peak expansion powers for all but the weakest strikes far exceeded the maximum power capacity of the cranial muscles. The axial muscles did not merely contribute but were the primary source of suction expansion power and generated up to 95% of peak expansion power. The recruitment of axial muscle power may have been crucial for the evolution of high-power suction feeding in ray-finned fishes.

Starvation promotes odor/feeding-time associations in flies.

Project description:Starvation causes a motivational state that facilitates diverse behaviors such as feeding, walking, and search. Starved Drosophila can form odor/feeding-time associations but the role of starvation in encoding of "time" is poorly understood. Here we show that the extent of starvation is correlated with the fly's ability to establish odor/feeding-time memories. Prolonged starvation promotes odor/feeding-time associations after just a single cycle of reciprocal training. We also show that starvation is required for acquisition but is dispensable for retrieval of odor/feeding-time memory. Finally, even with extended starvation, a functional circadian oscillator is indispensable for establishing odor/feeding-time memories.
