Project description:We performed the first quantitative proteomics analysis of differences between striated (fast) and catch (slow) adductor muscle in Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis), with the goal to uncover muscle specific genes and proteins, as well as enzymes of metabolic pathways in fast and slow adductor muscle of scallops. The present findings highlight the functional roles of muscle contractile proteins, calcium signaling pathways, membrane and extracellular matrix proteins, and glycogen metabolism involved in the different contractile and metabolic properties between fast and slow muscles. The present findings will help better understand the molecular basis underlying muscle contraction and its physiological regulation in invertebrates.
