Abstract
Myoglobin (Mb) plays an important role at rest and during exercise as a reservoir of oxygen and has been suggested to regulate NO• bioavailability under hypoxic/acidic conditions. However, its ultimate role during exercise is still a subject of debate. We aimed to study the effect of Mb deficiency on maximal oxygen uptake (V ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ ) and exercise performance in myoglobin knockout mice (Mb-/- ) when compared to control mice (Mb+/+ ). Furthermore, we also studied NO• bioavailability, assessed as nitrite (NO2 - ) and nitrate (NO3 - ) in the heart, locomotory muscle and in plasma, at rest and during exercise at exhaustion both in Mb-/- and in Mb+/+ mice. The mice performed maximal running incremental exercise on a treadmill with whole-body gas exchange measurements. The Mb-/- mice had lower body mass, heart and hind limb muscle mass (P < 0.001). Mb-/- mice had significantly reduced maximal running performance (P < 0.001).V ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ expressed in ml min-1 in Mb-/ - mice was 37% lower than in Mb+/+ mice (P < 0.001) and 13% lower when expressed in ml min-1 kg body mass-1 (P = 0.001). Additionally, Mb-/- mice had significantly lower plasma, heart and locomotory muscle NO2 - levels at rest. During exercise NO2 - increased significantly in the heart and locomotory muscles of Mb-/- and Mb+/+ mice, whereas no significant changes in NO2 - were found in plasma. Our study showed that, contrary to recent suggestions, Mb deficiency significantly impairsV ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ and maximal running performance in mice. KEY POINTS: Myoglobin knockout mice (Mb-/- ) possess lower maximal oxygen uptake (V ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ ) and poorer maximal running performance than control mice (Mb+/+ ). Respiratory exchange ratio values at high running velocities in Mb-/- mice are higher than in control mice suggesting a shift in substrate utilization towards glucose metabolism in Mb-/- mice at the same running velocities. Lack of myoglobin lowers basal systemic and muscle NO• bioavailability, but does not affect exercise-induced NO2 - changes in plasma, heart and locomotory muscles. The present study demonstrates that myoglobin is of vital importance forV ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ and maximal running performance as well as explains why previous studies have failed to prove such a role of myoglobin when using the Mb-/- mouse model.

Abstract
The SMYD family is a unique class of lysine methyltransferases (KMTases) whose catalytic SET domain is split by a MYND domain. Among these, Smyd1 was identified as a heart- and skeletal muscle-specific KMTase and is essential for cardiogenesis and skeletal muscle development. SMYD1 has been characterized as a histone methyltransferase (HMTase). Here we demonstrated that SMYD1 methylates is the Skeletal muscle-specific splice variant of the Nascent polypeptide-Associated Complex (skNAC) transcription factor. SMYD1-mediated methylation of skNAC targets K1975 within the carboxy-terminus region of skNAC. Catalysis requires physical interaction of SMYD1 and skNAC via the conserved MYND domain of SMYD1 and the PXLXP motif of skNAC. Our data indicated that skNAC methylation is required for the direct transcriptional activation of myoglobin (Mb), a heart- and skeletal muscle-specific hemoprotein that facilitates oxygen transport. Our study revealed that the skNAC, as a methylation target of SMYD1, illuminates the molecular mechanism by which SMYD1 cooperates with skNAC to regulate transcriptional activation of genes crucial for muscle functions and implicates the MYND domain of the SMYD-family KMTases as an adaptor to target substrates for methylation.

Abstract
Myoglobin is a key chemical component that determines meat's color and affects consumers' purchase intentions. In this work, we firstly identified the promoter sequence of the Mb gene from the primary assembly of high-throughput genome sequencing in pigs, and predicted its potential transcription factors by LASAGNA. Through the data mining of the mRNA expression profile of longissimus dorsi muscle of different pig breeds, we constructed a hierarchical interplay network of Mb-TFs (Myoglobin-Transcription Factors), consisting of 16 adaptive transcription factors and 23 secondary transcription factors. The verification of gene expression in longissimus dorsi muscle showed that the Mb mRNA and encoded protein were significantly (p < 0.05) more abundant in Bama pigs than Yorkshire pigs. The qRT-PCR (Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR) validation on genes of the Mb-TFs network showed that FOS, STAT3, STAT1, NEFL21, NFE2L2 and MAFB were significant positive regulatory core transcription factors of Mb-TFs network in Bama pigs, whereas ATF3 was the secondary transcription factor most responsible for the activation of the above transcription factors. Our study provides a new strategy to unravel the mechanism of pork color formation, based on public transcriptome and genome data analysis.

Abstract
Myoglobin, encoded by MB, is a small cytoplasmic globular hemoprotein highly expressed in cardiac myocytes and oxidative skeletal myofibers. Myoglobin binds O2, facilitates its intracellular transport and serves as a controller of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species. Here, we identify a recurrent c.292C>T (p.His98Tyr) substitution in MB in fourteen members of six European families suffering from an autosomal dominant progressive myopathy with highly characteristic sarcoplasmic inclusions in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Myoglobinopathy manifests in adulthood with proximal and axial weakness that progresses to involve distal muscles and causes respiratory and cardiac failure. Biochemical characterization reveals that the mutant myoglobin has altered O2 binding, exhibits a faster heme dissociation rate and has a lower reduction potential compared to wild-type myoglobin. Preliminary studies show that mutant myoglobin may result in elevated superoxide levels at the cellular level. These data define a recognizable muscle disease associated with MB mutation. Myoglobin is a hemeprotein that reversibly binds oxygen and gives muscle its red color. Here, the authors report a genetic variant in the MB gene that associates with myoglobinopathy, an autosomal dominant progressive myopathy, and altered oxygen binding properties of the mutant protein.

Abstract
Myoglobin (Mb) is an oxygen binding protein found in vertebrate skeletal muscle, where it facilitates intracellular transport and storage of oxygen. This protein has evolved to suit unique physiological needs in the muscle of diving vertebrates that express Mb at much greater concentrations than their terrestrial counterparts. In this study, we characterized Mb oxygen affinity (P50) from 25 species of aquatic and terrestrial birds and mammals. Among diving species, we tested for correlations between Mb P50 and routine dive duration. Across all species examined, Mb P50 ranged from 2.40 to 4.85 mmHg. The mean P50 of Mb from terrestrial ungulates was 3.72±0.15 mmHg (range 3.70-3.74 mmHg). The P50 of cetaceans was similar to terrestrial ungulates ranging from 3.54 to 3.82 mmHg, with the exception of the melon-headed whale, which had a significantly higher P50 of 4.85 mmHg. Among pinnipeds, the P50 ranged from 3.23 to 3.81 mmHg and showed a trend for higher oxygen affinity in species with longer dive durations. Among diving birds, the P50 ranged from 2.40 to 3.36 mmHg and also showed a trend of higher affinities in species with longer dive durations. In pinnipeds and birds, low Mb P50 was associated with species whose muscles are metabolically active under hypoxic conditions associated with aerobic dives. Given the broad range of potential globin oxygen affinities, Mb P50 from diverse vertebrate species appears constrained within a relatively narrow range. High Mb oxygen affinity within this range may be adaptive for some vertebrates that make prolonged dives.

Abstract
This review covers the field of diving physiology by following a chronological approach and focusing heavily on marine mammals. Because the study of modern diving physiology can be traced almost entirely to the work of Laurence Irving in the 1930s, this particular field of physiology is different than most in that it did not derive from multiple laboratories working at many locations or on different aspects of a similar problem. Because most of the physiology principles still used today were first formulated by Irving, it is important to the study of this field that the sequence of thought is examined as a progression of theory. The review covers the field in roughly decadal blocks and traces ideas as they were first suggested, tested, modified and in some cases, abandoned. Because diving physiology has also been extremely dependent on new technologies used in the development of diving recorders, a chronological approach fits well with advances in electronics and mechanical innovation. There are many species that dive underwater as part of their natural behavior, but it is mainly the marine mammals (seals, sea lions, and whales) that demonstrate both long duration and dives to great depth. There have been many studies on other diving species including birds, snakes, small aquatic mammals, and humans. This work examines these other diving species as appropriate and a listing of reviews and relevant literature on these groups is included at the end.

Abstract
Pinnipeds rely primarily on oxygen stores in blood and muscles to support aerobic diving; therefore rapid development of body oxygen stores (TBO(2)) is crucial for pups to transition from nursing to independent foraging. Here, we investigate TBO(2) development in 45 harp (Pagophilus groenlandicus) and 46 hooded (Cystophora cristata) seals ranging in age from neonates to adult females. We found that hooded seal adults have the largest TBO(2) stores yet reported (89.5 ml kg(-1)), while harp seal adults have values more similar to other phocids (71.6 ml kg(-1)). In adults, large TBO(2) stores resulted from large blood volume (harp169, hood 194 ml kg(-1)) and high muscle Mb content (harp 86.0, hood 94.8 mg g(-1)). In contrast, pups of both species had significantly lower mass-specific TBO(2 )stores than adults, and stores declined rather than increased during the nursing period. This decline was due to a reduction in mass-specific blood volume and the absence of an increase in the low Mb levels (harp 21.0, hood 31.5 mg g(-1)). Comparisons with other phocid species suggests that the pattern of blood and muscle development in the pre- and post-natal periods varies with terrestrial period, and that muscle maturation rates may influence the length of the postweaning fast. However, final maturation of TBO(2) stores does not take place until after foraging begins.

Abstract
The binding of a cofactor to a protein matrix often involves a reorganization of the polypeptide structure. b Hemoproteins provide multiple examples of this behavior. In this minireview, selected monomeric and single b heme proteins endowed with distinct topological properties are inspected for the extent of induced refolding upon heme binding. To complement the data reported in the literature, original results are presented on a two-on-two globin of cyanobacterial origin (Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 GlbN) and on the heme-containing module of FixL, an oxygen-sensing protein with the mixed alpha/beta topology of PAS domains. GlbN had a stable apoprotein that was further stabilized and locally refolded by heme binding; in contrast, apoFixLH presented features of a molten globule. Sequence analyses (helicity, disorder, and polarity) and solvent accessibility calculations were performed to identify trends in the architecture of b hemoproteins. In several cases, the primary structure appeared biased toward a partially disordered binding pocket in the absence of the cofactor.
