Novel Sarcopenia-related Alterations in Sarcomeric Protein Post-translational Modifications in Skeletal Muscles Identified by Top-down Proteomics
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, is a significant cause of morbidity in the elderly and is a major burden on health care systems. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular mechanisms in sarcopenia remain poorly understood. Herein, we utilized top-down proteomics to elucidate sarcopenia-related changes in the fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscles of aging rats with a focus on the sarcomeric proteome, which includes both myofilament and Z-disc proteins--the proteins that constitute the contractile apparatuses.
