Unveils key proteins in Xinjiang goat muscle linked to post-mortem meat quality: A TMT-based proteomic analysis. Food Chem X 2024; 24:101847. [PMID: 39398871 PMCID: PMC11470461 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 09/02/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024] Open
Abstract
An extensive proteomic analysis utilizing the tandem mass tag (TMT) method was conducted to investigate the changes in protein expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle of Xinjiang goats over various post-mortem intervals: immediately after death within 0 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. The investigation carefully identified around 108 proteins that showed significant changes in expression during these intervals. Among these proteins, six were highlighted for their crucial roles in muscle growth and differentiation of muscle fibers post-mortem. These proteins, namely COL12A1, MRPL46, CTNNB1, MYH1, CAPZA1, and MYL9, have a direct effect on the meat's quality attributes, such as tenderness and color. Further discuss observed a progressive increase in the expression of proteins linked with oxidative metabolism (MSRB2, ENOX1, LOC102170282, GSTM1, and AOC3) as the post-mortem aging period extended, particularly between 24 h to 48 h. These proteins are instrumental in defining the color and flavor profiles of goat meat, underscoring the importance of precise processing and storage conditions to preserve meat quality during the critical aging phase. This enhanced understanding of protein expression dynamics offers significant implications for optimizing meat quality and provides a scientific basis for post-mortem handling practices in the goat meat industry.

[PMID: 36984009 PMCID: PMC10056145 DOI: 10.3390/life13030854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Tenderness is an important characteristic of meat quality. Calpastatin and calpain play important roles in meat tenderization. However, it is not clear how phosphorylation affects the regulation of calpastatin on μ-calpain and, consequently, meat tenderness. Calpastatin with high and low phosphorylation levels were obtained in vitro corresponding to the treatments by protein kinase A (PKA) and alkaline phosphatase. Then, calpain was incubated with calpastatin with different phosphorylation levels, and the effect of calpastatin on calpain activity under different phosphorylation levels was analyzed. The results showed that PKA promoted the phosphorylation of calpastatin, and a high phosphorylation level was maintained during incubation. The degradation rate of μ-calpain in AP group was higher than that in the other groups, meaning there was lower inhibition of calpastatin on calpain activity. The degradation of calpastatin was lower and its structure was more stable after phosphorylation. One more serine 133 site of calpastatin was identified in PKA group compared with the other groups. Phosphorylation at serine 133 of calpastatin enhanced its inhibition on calpain activity by maintaining its structural stability, thus inhibiting the tenderization of meat.

Relationships between the abundance of 29 proteins and several meat or carcass quality traits in two bovine muscles revealed by a combination of univariate and multivariate analyses. J Proteomics 2023; 273:104792. [PMID: 36535620 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2022.104792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the relationships between meat or carcass properties and the abundance of 29 proteins quantified in two muscles, Longissimus thoracis and Rectus abdominis, of Rouge des Prés cows. The relative abundance of the proteins was evaluated using a high throughput immunological method: the Reverse Phase Protein array. A combination of univariate and multivariate analyses has shown that small HSPs (CRYAB, HSPB6), fast glycolytic metabolic and structural proteins (MYH1, ENO3, ENO1, TPI1) when assayed both in RA and LT, were related to meat tenderness, marbling, ultimate pH, as well as carcass fat-to-lean ratio or conformation score. In addition to some small HSP, ALDH1A1 and TRIM72 contributed to the molecular signature of muscular and carcass adiposity. MYH1 and HSPA1A were among the top proteins related to carcass traits. We thus shortened the list to 10 putative biomarkers to be considered in future tools to manage both meat and carcass properties. SIGNIFICANCE: In three aspects this manuscript is notable. First, this is the first proteomics study that aims to evaluate putative biomarkers of both meat and carcass qualities that are of economic importance for the beef industry. Second, the relationship between the abundance of proteins and the carcass or meat traits were evaluated by a combination of univariate and multivariate analyses on 48 cows that are representative of the biological variability of the traits. Third, we provide a short list of ten proteins to be tested in a larger population to feed the pipeline of biomarker discovery.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge about proteomic and metabolic changes in beef, the microbiological alteration postmortem and during aging, and observe the influence on beef quality parameters, such as tenderness, taste and flavor. This review will also focus on the different aging types (wet- and dry-aging), the aging or postmortem time of beef and their effect on the proteome and metabolome of beef. The Ca2+ homeostasis and adenosine 5'-triphosphate breakdown are the main reactions in the pre-rigor phase. After rigor mortis, the enzymatic degradation of connective tissues and breakdown of energy metabolism dominate molecular changes in beef. Important metabolic processes leading to the formation of saccharides, nucleotides, organic acids (e.g. lactic acid), creatine and fatty acids are considered in this context as possible flavor precursors or formers of beef flavor and taste. Flavor precursors are substrates for lipid oxidation, Strecker degradation and Maillard reaction during cooking or roasting. The findings presented should serve as a basis for a better understanding of beef aging and its molecular effects and are intended to contribute to meeting the challenges of improving beef quality.

Abstract
Advancements in technology and analytical methods enable researchers to explore the biochemical events that cause variation in meat quality. Among those, western blot techniques have been successfully used in identifying and quantifying the key proteins that have critical functions in the development of meat quality. Housekeeping proteins, like β-actin, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and tubulins are often used as internal controls in western blots to normalize the abundance of the protein of interest. However, there are increasing concerns about using housekeeping proteins for western blot normalization, as these proteins do not demonstrate any loading differences above the relatively small total protein loading amounts of 10μg. In addition, the interaction between these housekeeping proteins and programmed cell death processes highlights the concerns about using the housekeeping protein as the internal control in meat quality research. Moreover, recent proteomic research has indicated that the abundance of some housekeeping proteins, like β-actin, GAPDH, and tubulin, can be altered by preslaughter stress, dietary supplementation, sex, slaughter method, genotype, breed, aging period, muscle type, and muscle portion. Furthermore, these housekeeping proteins could have differential expression in meat with differing color stability, tenderness, and water holding capacity. Therefore, this review aims to examine the realities of using housekeeping proteins as the loading control in meat quality research and introduce some alternative methods that can be used for western blot normalization.

Abstract
Bos indicus cattle are widely utilized in tropical and subtropical climates. Their heat tolerance and parasite resistance are integral for beef production in these regions; however, a reputation for excitable temperaments, slower growth, and variation in tenderness has limited their use in commercial beef production. This suggests that there is antagonism between heat tolerance and meat production traits. Meat quality characteristics are determined by the properties of skeletal muscle as well as conditions during slaughter and processing. Thus, it is possible that adaptations related to heat tolerance in the living animal affect tenderness and other meat quality attributes. Since muscle represents a large proportion of body mass, relatively small changes at the cellular level could impact overall heat production of the animal. Specifically, protein degradation and mitochondria function are aspects of organ and cellular metabolism that may help limit heat production and also have a connection to tenderness. Protein degradation postmortem is critical to structural changes that enhance tenderness whereas mitochondria may influence tenderness through their roles in energy metabolism, calcium regulation, cell death signaling, and oxidative stress. This review explores potential relationships between cellular metabolism in vivo and beef quality development in Bos indicus and Bos indicus influenced cattle.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate if ultrasonication of bovine longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) steaks increases calpain-1 and caspase-3 activities, and if so, to explore the underlying mechanisms that trigger their activation. Post-rigor bovine LTL steaks were subjected to ultrasonication at 40 kHz and 12 W/cm2 for 40 min and subsequently aged for 14 d at 4 °C. Ultrasonication improved beef tenderness (P < 0.05) without negatively impacting pH, color, or cook loss (P > 0.05). Improved tenderness in the ultrasonicated steaks was associated with greater degradation of titin, desmin, troponin-T, and calpastatin and increased calpain-1 autolysis and caspase-3 activity (P < 0.05). In addition, ultrasonicated steaks had greater levels of cytosolic calcium and reactive oxygen species and lower mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (P < 0.05). These data indicate that improved beef tenderness following ultrasonication is, in part, a function of increased calpain-1 and caspase-3 activities, potentially by elevating cytosolic calcium and inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, respectively.

Abstract
Meat proteolytic systems play a crucial role in meat tenderisation. Understanding
the effects of processing technologies and post-mortem storage conditions on
these systems is important due to their crucial role in determining the quality
characteristics of meat and meat products. It has recently been proposed that
tenderisation occurs due to the synergistic action of numerous endogenous
proteolytic systems. There is strong evidence suggesting the importance of
μ-calpain during the initial post-mortem aging phase, while m-calpain may
have a role during long-term aging. The caspase proteolytic system is also a
candidate for cell degradation in the initial stages of conversion of muscle to
meat. The role of cathepsins, which are found in the lysosomes, in post-mortem
aging is controversial. Lysosomes need to be ruptured, through aging, or other
forms of processing to release cathepsins into the cytosol for participation in
proteolysis. A combination of optimum storage conditions along with suitable
processing may accelerate protease activity within meat, which can potentially
lead to improved meat tenderness. Processing technologies such as high pressure,
ultrasound, and shockwave processing have been reported to disrupt muscle
structure, which can facilitate proteolysis and potentially enhance the aging
process. This paper reviews the recent literature on the impacts of processing
technologies along with post-mortem storage conditions on the activities of
endogenous proteases in meat. The information provided in the review may be
helpful in selecting optimum post-mortem meat storage and processing conditions
to achieve improved muscle tenderness within shorter aging and cooking
times.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural properties of μ-calpain induced by hydroxyl radical oxidation and its effect on the degradation of myofibrillar protein (MP) from the dorsal muscles of Coregonus peled. The carbonyl and sulfhydryl content of μ-calpain changed significantly after oxidation. The content of α-helix in the secondary structure decreased from 0.825 to 0.232 and the changes in intrinsic fluorescence and ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra indicated that oxidation could cause the expansion and aggregation of µ-calpain molecules. Changes in µ-calpain structure could improve the activity of µ-calpain, reaching the highest value at 0.5 mM H2O2. The highest µ-calpain activity facilitate the degradation of unoxidized MP, while the degradation of oxidized MP was facilitated at the 1 mM H2O2. Thus, our results provide a scientific basis for the interaction mechanism among hydroxyl radical oxidation, µ-calpain, and MP degradation.

Abstract
Meat quality plays an important role in the purchase decision of consumers, affecting producers and retailers. The formation mechanisms determining meat quality are intricate, as several endogenous and exogenous factors contribute during antemortem and postmortem periods. Abundant research has been performed on meat quality; however, unexpected variation in meat quality remains an issue in the meat industry. Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) regulate structures and functions of proteins in living tissues, and recent reports confirmed their importance in meat quality. The objective of this review was to provide a summary of the research on the effects of PTMs on meat quality. The effects of four common PTMs, namely, protein phosphorylation, acetylation, S-nitrosylation, and ubiquitination, on meat quality were discussed, with emphasis on the effects of protein phosphorylation on meat tenderness, color, and water holding capacity. The mechanisms and factors that may affect the function of protein phosphorylation are also discussed. The current research confirms that meat quality traits are regulated by multiple PTMs. Cross talk between different PTMs and interactions of PTMs with postmortem biochemical processes need to be explored to improve our understanding on factors affecting meat quality.

Abstract
The current study investigated the effects of high pressure (HP) treatment at 200 MPa and 500 MPa on quality characteristics of post-rigor tan mutton stored for 7 days at 4 °C, and textural changes were monitored during storage by means of the stress relaxation test. Application of 500 MPa high pressure significantly increased the elasticity and stiffness of meat after 7 days of storage (P < 0.05), accompanied by a lighter and less red appearance and markedly enhanced centrifugal loss during storage campared to untreated (P < 0.05). High pressure treatment at 200 MPa also substantially increased the lightness of samples throughout storage (P < 0.05), and showed a significant increase in stiffness at the end of storage (P < 0.05). Immunoblotting and electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of key structural proteins revealed that myosin heavy chain denaturation began at 200 MPa, while actin denaturation occurred at 500 MPa. Troponin-T was continuously degraded in different treatments as storage progressed, and 200 MPa treatment and untreated represented similar degradation patterns, while 500 MPa treatment displayed more intense intact troponin-T at 38 kDa degradation. Results suggest that HP induced changes in cytoskeleton proteins, thereby affecting texture, water holding properties and lightness.

Abstract
Peptides derived from whole proteins in beef tenderloin (M. psoas major, PM) and striploin (M. longissimus lumborum, LL) associated with meat quality and muscle fiber composition were identified and quantified during 21 days of aging. Peptide quantification revealed 40-43 proteins to be significantly degraded during all aging time, and these were mostly sarcoplasmic proteins. Cooking loss of both muscles was not changed by aging (P > 0.05), whereas Warner-Bratzler shear force and meat color were affected by aging. Sensory tenderness increased in PM after 14 days of aging (P < 0.05). PM had a higher type I fiber content, whereas LL had a higher type IIX fiber content (P < 0.05), resulting in differences in proteolysis during all aging periods tested. These findings improve our understanding of different biochemical and physicochemical changes in aged meat according to the muscle type.

Abstract
The study objectives were to determine the extent to which the sarcoplasmic proteome explains variations in aged pork loin star probe value. Pork loins (n=12) were categorized by differences in star probe at 21 d post mortem from a larger set of loins. Loins were categorized into low star probe (LSP) group (n=6; star probe<5.80 kg) and high star probe (HSP) group (n=6; star probe>7.00 kg) based on 21-d star probe value with inclusion criteria of marbling score (1.0–3.0) and 24-h pH (5.69–5.98). Quality traits were measured at 1-, 8-, 14-, and 21-d aging. Desmin and troponin-T degradation, peroxiredoxin-2 abundance, calpain-1 autolysis, and sarcomere length were determined. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to identify proteins that differed in abundance due to category. Star probe values were lower (P<0.01) in LSP at each day of aging compared with HSP. Greater pH values were observed (P<0.05)in LSP compared with HSP at each day of aging. Marbling score was greater (P<0.05) in LSP compared with HSP at each day of aging. Greater (P<0.05) desmin and troponin-T degradation was detected in LSP chops at 14- and 21-d aging and 8-, 14-, and 21-d aging, respectively. Greater (P<0.05) sarcomere length was determined in LSP compared with HSP at 1-,8-, and 21-d aging. Sarcoplasmic proteins from HSP chops had greater abundance (P<0.10) of metabolic and regulatory proteins, whereas the LSP chops had greater abundance (P<0.10) of stress response proteins. Star probe values were affected by pH, marbling score, protein degradation, sarcomere length, and sarcoplasmic proteome.

Abstract
Abstract
This study evaluated myosin heavy chain composition and the effect of aging time (45 min, 24 h, 96 h and 168 h) on meat quality parameters and dystrophin and integrin degradation pattern in longissimus thoracis and psoas major muscles of 24 Polish Landrace fatteners slaughtered at 100 kg body weight. It was found that m. longissimus thoracis had a greater percentage of MyHC-IIB (P≤0.05) and a significantly lower percentage of type I and IIA/IIX (P≤0.05) compared with the m. psoas major. Moreover, psoas major muscle had significantly higher (P≤0.05) pH45, pH24 and lower drip loss values for 45 min to 24 h, 45 min to 96 h and 45 min to 168 h than m. longissimus thoracis. Muscle type also had a significant effect on the rate of dystrophin and integrin degradation postmortem, which were significantly (P≤0.05) more rapidly degraded in the m. longissimus thoracis compared to the m. psoas major. It is concluded from the obtained results that the muscles with a greater percentage of MyHC-IIB show lower pH values, which translates into more rapid rate of integrin and dystrophin degradation. Ultimately, this may contribute to higher drip loss values during refrigerated storage.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of mitochondria in postmortem calcium homeostasis and its effect on proteolysis and tenderness. We hypothesized that mitochondria buffer cytosolic calcium levels and delay the activation of calpain-1 and subsequently the development of meat tenderness. To test this hypothesis, pre-rigor bovine longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle samples were injected with DS16570511 to inhibit mitochondrial calcium uptake. Free calcium, tenderness, texture profile analysis (TPA), calpain-1 activity, and proteolysis were evaluated over a 336 h aging period. Inhibition of mitochondrial calcium uptake increased (P < .0001) cytosolic calcium concentration and calpain-1 autolysis and activity at 24 h compared to control steaks. Further, tenderness and TPA at 168 and 336 h, calpastatin degradation at 24 h, and proteolysis at 168 h were all enhanced (P < .05) in the treated steaks. Collectively, these data indicate that inhibition of mitochondrial calcium uptake can enhance postmortem proteolysis and tenderization through an early activation of calpain-1.

Abstract
The objective was to investigate the effects of blast chilling on pork quality in cuts from the Longissimus thoracic et lumborum (LM), Psoas major (PM), Semimembranosus (SM; both superficial [SMS] and deep [SMD] portions) and the Triceps brachii (TB). Forty carcasses (10 carcasses per replication) were split and sides were assigned to either blast chill (BC, –32°C for 90 min, followed by spray chill at 2°C for 22.5 h) or conventional chill (CC, spray chilled at 2°C for 24 h) regimens. The LM from BC sides had lower (P < 0.05) temperature at 2 h postmortem (CC 21.8°C, BC 9.7°C), 4 h (CC 13.3°C, 3.8°C BC), 22 h (CC 4.2°C, BC 1.4°C), and 30 h (CC 0.4°C, BC –0.2°C). The LM pH in BC sides was higher at 4 h (CC 6.09, BC 6.34), 22 h (CC 5.81, BC 5.89), and 30 h (CC 5.68, BC 5.74) postmortem. The BC resulted in higher (P < 0.05) 30 h postmortem pH in the SM compared to the CC regime (CC 5.68, BC 5.74). The BC sides had increased (P < 0.05) purge in the PM (CC 0.48%, BC 0.74%) and increased (P < 0.05) cook loss in chops from the LM (CC 22.37%, BC 24.24%). The PM from BC sides were more juicy (CC 7.50, BC 8.30), less chewy (CC 2.80, BC 2.10), and more tender (CC 7.90, BC 8.60). Chops from the LM of BC sides had greater Warner-Bratzler shear force (CC 2.00, BC 2.30). Color was affected in the SM with BC sides showing darker color score (CC 3.00, BC 3.20) and redder Hunter a value (CC 16.35, BC 16.02). Chilling treatment did not affect sarcomere length in the LM. Treatment did not affect postmortem proteolysis in any cut. The response to chilling regimen is different across different muscles which may be caused by location, rate of chilling, and fiber type.

Abstract
A TMT (Tandem Mass Tag)-based strategy was applied to elucidate proteins that change in proteomes of grouper fillets during refrigerated storage. In addition, quality analyses on pH, centrifugal loss, color (L *, a *, b *) and texture (hardness, chewiness, and gumminess) for grouper fillets were performed. A total of 64 differentially significant expressed proteins (DSEPs) were found in the results in the Day 0 vs. Day 6 group comparison and the Day 0 vs. Day 12 group comparison. It is worth mentioning that more proteome changes were found in the Day 0 vs. Day 12 comparisons. Bioinformatics was utilized to analyze the DSEP. UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB), Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and protein interaction network analysis were adopted. All DSEPs were classified into seven areas by function: binding proteins, calcium handling, enzymes, heat shock protein, protein turnover, structural proteins and miscellaneous. The numbers of proteins that correlated closely with pH, centrifugal loss, color (L *, a *, b *) and texture (hardness, chewiness, and gumminess) were 4, 3, 6 and 8, respectively.

Abstract
Steaks of 74 animals from 3 young bull breeds (Aberdeen Angus, Limousin and Blond d'Aquitaine) were cooked at two end-point cooking temperatures (55 and 74 °C) and evaluated for tenderness by trained panelists from France (FR) and the United Kingdom (UK). Using principal component regressions, the tenderness scores of each breed, country origin of the panelists and cooking temperature were linked with the abundances of 21 protein biomarkers belonging to five biological pathways. Twelve regression equations were built and explained 68 to 95% of tenderness variability. A high dissimilarity in the retained biomarkers was observed among the equations and differences exist among breeds, cooking temperatures and country origin of the panelists. Among the 21 biomarkers, 6 proteins including structural (MyHC-I, MyHC-IIa, MyHC-IIx), oxidative stress (DJ-1, PRDX6) and proteolysis (CAPN1) were retained robustly in positive or negative directions in the tenderization process of Longissimus thoracis, regardless the breed, the end-point cooking temperature or the country origin of the panelist.
