Abstract
As one of the key rate limiting enzymes in glycolysis process, the characteristics of pyruvate kinase (PK) play an important role in regulating the muscle quality. Given the close relationship between kinase phosphorylation level and its stability, the present study investigated the impact of exogenous l-histidine (l-his) on PK phosphorylation and activity at 1% NaCl level in the early postmortem. An incubation system was also constructed and the results showed that the introduction of 0.06% l-his caused the dephosphorylation and increased the activity of PK at 1% NaCl. Compared with 1% NaCl treatment, three differential phosphorylation sites were produced when l-his was introduced. The PK secondary structure was shift from order to disorder, leading to a distinct degradation. This present study provided us with inspiration that meat quality could be improved by exogenous l-his at early postmortem under low NaCl conditions.

Abstract
This study investigated the meat quality, expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and metabolism-related genes, ribonucleotides and fatty acids in Longissimus thoracis of Thai native pigs (TNPs) from different geographical regions (GR). Forty-one 9-10-month-old castrated TNPs (BW 60 kg), consisting of 18, 11 and 12 pigs from Northern (NT), Southern (ST) and Northeastern (NE) regions, respectively, were slaughtered. GR did not affect (p > 0.05) the expression of MyHC, phosphoglycerate mutase 1, cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, triosephosphate isomerase 1 and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein genes. The trend of MyHC was MyHC IIx > MyHC IIb > MyHC IIa > MyHC I. The NT loin had higher (p < 0.05) glycogen, C18:2n6, C20:4n6 and cooking loss, lower inosine, inosine monophosphate and hypoxanthine and a shorter sarcomere length than the ST and NE loins. The ST loin had a lower (p < 0.05) a* compared to other loins. Principal component analysis established significant relationships between the TNP and specific meat quality traits. This finding suggests that GR affected the meat quality, ribonucleotides and selected fatty acids in TNPs. These results provide relevant information that can be used to optimize the use of Thai native pork.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:3039-3046. [PMID: 38057148 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmortem muscle moisture loss leads to a decrease in carcass weight and can adversely impact overall meat quality. Therefore, it is critical to investigate water holding capacity (WHC) to enhance meat quality. Current research has primarily focused on examining the correlation between signaling molecules and meat quality in relation to the glycolysis effect on muscle WHC. But there exists a significant knowledge gap regarding the mechanism of WHC in Jersey cattle-yak meat. RESULTS Jersey cattle-yak meat pH decreased and then increased during postmortem aging. Lactate content, cooking loss, pressing loss, drip loss and centrifuging loss of Jersey cattle-yak meat increased and then decreased during postmortem aging. The glycogen content of Jersey cattle-yak meat was significantly higher than that of yak meat at 6-120 h, being 8.40% higher than that of yak meat at 120 h. The activity of key glycolytic enzymes hexokinase (HK), pyruvate kinase (PK), phosphofructokinase (PFK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in Jersey cattle-yak meat was lower than that in yak meat. Correlation analysis showed that Jersey cattle-yak meat WHC was positively correlated with the activity of HK, PK, PFK and LDH. CONCLUSIONS The WHC of Jersey cattle-yak meat was higher than that of Gannan yak meat, and it was significantly positively correlated with the activity of key enzymes of the glycolytic signaling pathway. Therefore, the glycolysis rate can be reduced by inhibiting enzyme activity to improve Jersey cattle-yak meat WHC and meat quality. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Food Chem X 2024; 21:101125. [PMID: 38292674 PMCID: PMC10827398 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of phosphoglycerate kinase-1 (PGK1) and pyruvate kinase-M2 (PKM2) activity on glycolysis, myofibrillar proteins, calpain system, and apoptosis pathways of postmortem muscle. The activity of PGK1 and PKM2 was regulated by their inhibitors and activators to construct the postmortem glycolysis vitro model and then incubated at 4 °C for 24 h. The results showed that compared to PGK1 and PKM2 inhibitors groups, the addition of PGK1 and PKM2 activators could accelerate glycogen consumption, ATP and lactate production, while declining pH value. Moreover, the addition of PGK1 and PKM2 activators could increase desmin degradation, μ-calpain activity, and caspase-3 abundance. Interestingly, troponin-T degradation was significantly increased both in PKM2 inhibitor and activator groups. It was suggested that PGK1 and PKM2 might be used as robust indicators to regulate meat quality by affecting the glycolysis, myofibrillar proteins, μ-calpain and apoptosis pathways in postmortem muscle.

Abstract
The study investigated the different effects between protein phosphorylation and acetylation on glycolytic enzyme activity and myofibrillar protein degradation. Lamb longissimus thoracis lumborum muscles were homogenized and then inhibitors were added for incubation at 4 °C. Phosphatase inhibitor was added to produce a high phosphorylation level (PI group) and lysine deacetylase inhibitor was added to produce a high acetylation level (DI group). The lactate and ATP content in the PI group was inhibited compared with that in the DI group (P < 0.05). Phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity was negatively related with the phosphorylation level and was positively related with the acetylation level in the DI group (P < 0.05). The degradation of troponin T and desmin of the DI group were restrained when compared to that in the PI group (P < 0.05). Compared with initial PFK and desmin, the simulation of phosphorylation and acetylation of PFK and desmin showed different electrostatic potential at the surface and a more unstable structure. The phosphorylation level of the DI group was increased, suggesting that the changes of protein acetylation altered protein phosphorylation. In conclusion, compared with protein phosphorylation, protein acetylation had a greater effect on promoting glycolysis and inhibiting protein degradation.

Abstract
Meat quality holds significant importance for both consumers and meat producers. Various factors influence meat quality, and among them, mitochondria play a crucial role. Recent studies have indicated that mitochondria can sustain their functions and viability for a certain duration in postmortem muscles. Consequently, mitochondria have an impact on oxygen consumption, energy metabolism, and apoptotic processes, which in turn affect myoglobin levels, oxidative stress, meat tenderness, fat oxidation, and protein oxidation. Ultimately, these factors influence the color, tenderness, and flavor of meat. However, there is a dearth of comprehensive summaries addressing the effects of mitochondria on postmortem muscle physiology and meat quality. Therefore, this review aims to describe the characteristics of muscle mitochondria and their potential influence on muscle. Additionally, a suitable method for isolating mitochondria is presented. Lastly, the review emphasizes the regulation of oxygen consumption, energy metabolism, and apoptosis by postmortem muscle mitochondria, and provides an overview of relevant research and recent advancements. The ultimate objective of this review is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms through which mitochondria impact meat quality.
