Abstract

The effect of susceptibility to in vitro oxidation on the degradation of myosin isolated from beef muscles via μ-calpain or caspase-3 was examined, and the measurement of the oxidation sites of myosin heavy chains was performed. Myosin was incubated with hydroxyl free radical-generating systems, which were composed of 0.01 M FeCl3, 0.1 M ascorbic acid, and 0, 25, 50, and 100 μM H2O2 at 37 °C for 20 min. The oxidized myosin then reacted with μ-calpain or caspase-3 at 37 °C for 30 min, respectively. The results showed that protein oxidation systems in vitro resulted in different levels of myosin oxidation, leading to significant changes in the secondary structure of myosin (P < 0.05). The sodium dodecyl dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting results showed that in vitro oxidation promoted myosin degradation via μ-calpain or caspase-3. Proteomics research suggested that the number of myosin oxidation sites increased constantly with the increase of oxidation levels. Oxidation sites of myosin were mainly cysteine, methionine, arginine, histidine, tyrosine, lysine, and asparagine. These results indicated that oxidation using H2O2 in the range of 0-100 μM could increase the degradation of my...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
