This work aimed to elucidate the deterioration mechanisms of shrimp surimi gels during refrigerated storage, and the regulatory mechanisms of epigallocatechin-3-gallate loaded cyclodextrin-based metal-organic framework (EGCG@CD-MOF) as a model antioxidant. Labele-free proteomics provided a quantitative analysis of the differential proteomic signatures of degraded proteins. Structural proteins, like myosin, paramyosin, titin, laminin, and α-actinin, along with calcium regulatory proteins, like calcineurin and sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein were found to be highly susceptible to oxidative degradation during refrigeration.

Actin linked regulatory mechanisms are known to contribute contraction/relaxation in smooth muscle. In order to clarify whether modulation of polymerization/depolymerization of actin filaments affects relaxation process, we examined the effects of cytochalasin D on relaxation process by Ca removal after Ca-induced contraction of β-escin skinned (cell membrane permeabilized) taenia cecum and carotid artery preparations from guinea pigs. Cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, significantly suppressed the force during relaxation both in skinned taenia cecum and carotid artery.

To preserve barrier function, cell-cell junctions must dynamically remodel during cell shape changes. We have previously described a rapid tight junction repair pathway characterized by local, transient activation of RhoA, termed "Rho flares", which repair leaks in tight junctions via promoting local actomyosin-mediated junction remodeling. In this pathway, junction elongation is a mechanical trigger that initiates RhoA activation through an influx of intracellular calcium and recruitment of p115RhoGEF.

Calcium binding to troponin triggers the contraction of skeletal and heart muscle through structural changes in the thin filaments that allow myosin motors from the thick filaments to bind to actin and drive filament sliding. Here, we review studies in which those changes were determined in demembranated fibres of skeletal and heart muscle using fluorescence for in situ structure (FISS), which determines domain orientations using polarised fluorescence from bifunctional rhodamine attached to cysteine pairs in the target domain. We describe the changes in the orientations of the N-terminal lobe of troponin C (TnC) and the troponin IT arm in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells associated with contraction and compare the orientations with those determined in isolated cardiac thin filaments by cryo-electron microscopy.
