Abstract
Objective: Type I and III collagen content exert contrasting influences on meat tenderness. μ-calpain autolysis has shown a correlation with beef tenderness. Thus, the study was designed to determine the changes in these proteins.
Methods: Three hundred twenty-four Hanwoo cattle, including cows and steers, and eight muscles were evaluated for proteolysis during dry ageing period. The ratios of type I and III collagen were determined by densitometric scans of bands resolved by SDS-PAGE, and μ-calpain activity was determined using casein zymography. Proteins involved in proteolysis were analysed by LC-MS/MS.
Results: The ratio of type I and III collagen in every muscle showed a significant difference with increasing ageing times (p < 0.05). In steers, the ratio decreased with increased ageing time, and in cows, except for BF and DP muscles, a similar decreasing trend was observed. Significant differences in the ratio of type I and III collagen were found between different muscles of cows at the same ageing time (p < 0.05), but no significant differences were found in steer muscles at the same ageing time (p > 0.05). Casein zymogram results showed an inverse relationship between pH values and μ-calpain autolysis in every muscle. A significant reduction in μ-calpain activity was observed in all muscles with extended ageing times, while the rate of autolysis differed greatly (p < 0.05) between muscles at the same ageing time. Interestingly, electropherogram analysis showed that cow muscles had a higher μ-calpain activity than steer muscles. Ageing time significantly influenced proteolysis, with 24 proteins showing marked changes and being identified.
Conclusion: The ageing times significantly affect the ratio of type I and III collagen, which coincided with the rate of μ-calpain autolysis in steers. The ratio of type I and III collagen had a significant changes during the ageing period from cows, which may be related to the amount of collagen cross-linking.
目的Ⅰ型和Ⅲ型胶原蛋白含量对肉质嫩度的影响截然不同。因此,本研究旨在确定这些蛋白质的变化:方法:研究人员对 324 头汉和牛(包括母牛和阉牛)和八块肌肉进行了干老化期间蛋白质分解的评估。通过对 SDS-PAGE 分解的条带进行密度扫描,测定 I 型和 III 型胶原蛋白的比例,并使用酪蛋白酶谱测定μ-钙蛋白酶的活性。用 LC-MS/MS 分析参与蛋白水解的蛋白质:结果:每块肌肉中 I 型和 III 型胶原蛋白的比例随着老化时间的增加而出现显著差异(p < 0.05)。在阉牛中,该比率随着老化时间的延长而下降;在奶牛中,除 BF 和 DP 肌肉外,也观察到类似的下降趋势。在相同的老化时间内,奶牛不同肌肉中 I 型和 III 型胶原蛋白的比例存在显著差异(p < 0.05),但在相同的老化时间内,阉牛肌肉中没有发现显著差异(p > 0.05)。酪蛋白酶图结果显示,每块肌肉的 pH 值和μ-钙蛋白酶自溶之间存在反比关系。随着老化时间的延长,所有肌肉中的μ-钙蛋白酶活性都明显降低,而在相同老化时间内,不同肌肉的自溶率差别很大(p < 0.05)。有趣的是,电泳图分析表明,奶牛肌肉的μ-钙蛋白酶活性高于骏马肌肉。老化时间对蛋白质分解有明显影响,有 24 种蛋白质发生明显变化并被鉴定出来:结论:老化时间对 I 型和 III 型胶原蛋白的比例有明显影响,这与μ-钙蛋白酶在阉牛中的自溶速度一致。I型和III型胶原蛋白的比例在奶牛的老龄化过程中发生了显著变化,这可能与胶原蛋白的交联量有关。
