| Popis: | The sarcomere is the major structural and functional unit of striated muscle. Approximately 65 different proteins have been associated with the sarcomere, and their exact composition defines the speed, endurance, and biology of each individual muscle. Past analyses relied heavily on electrophoretic and immunohistochemical techniques, which only allow the analysis of a small fraction of proteins at a time. Here we introduce a quantitative label-free, shotgun proteomics approach to differentially quantitate sarcomeric proteins from microgram quantities of muscle tissue in a fast and reliable manner by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The high sequence similarity of some sarcomeric proteins poses a problem for shotgun proteomics because of limitations in subsequent database search algorithms in the exclusive assignment of peptides to specific isoforms. Therefore multiple sequence alignments were generated to improve the identification of isoform specific peptides. This methodology was used to compare the sarcomeric proteome of the extraocular muscle allotype to limb muscle. Extraocular muscles are a unique group of highly specialized muscles with distinct biochemical, physiological, and pathological properties. We were able to quantitate 40 sarcomeric proteins; although the basic sarcomeric proteins in extraocular muscle are similar to those in limb muscle, key proteins stabilizing the connection of the Z-bands to thin filaments and the costamere are augmented in extraocular muscle and may represent an adaptation to the eccentric contractions known to normally occur during eye movements. Furthermore, a number of changes are seen that closely relate to the unique nature of extraocular muscle. |
