Proteomic analysis of skeletal muscle fibre samples from hibernating and awake squirrels
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Recent discoveries in the field of skeletal muscle have found that the contractile protein myosin is able to dictate the resting metabolic rate of this organ. In this study we aimed to investigate if myosin is involved in the process of metabolic shutdown which is observed during hibernation. Comparing large and small hibernating mammals, we found that in small hibernating mammals, the rate of ATP turnover dictated by myosin was altered and that this was also dependent upon the temperature of skeletal muscle. We further investigated changes to the whole proteome of these animals and observed that in small hibernators found significant changes to sarcomere organization during hibernating periods. Finally, we identified hyperphosphorylation upon the myosin molecule in these small hibernators which was predicted to induce stability changes to this molecule. In this dataset, we compared the proteome of skeletal muscle fibre samples from squirrels collected in summer and winter time.
