Comparative proteomic characterization of the sarcoplasmic proteins in the pectoralis major and supracoracoideus breast muscles in 2 chicken genotypes.

摘要

The selection processes that have resulted in broiler (meat) and leghorn (eggs) chickens have had very different effects on the pectoralis major and supracoracoideus muscles. The objective of this study, therefore, was to analyze the one-dimensional proteomic profiles of sarcoplasmic protein fractions isolated from the p. major and supracoracoideus muscles collected from 10 chicks from each genotype to compare developmental differences. The sarcoplasmic protein fraction was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The mean band percentages were analyzed using a mixed model, with strain and muscle type as main effects. Six bands were found to be significantly different across the 2 strains. Strain differences in glycogen phosphorylase, enolase, elongation factor 1, creatine kinase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate-dehydrogenase suggest a genotype-specific shift in energy metabolism during breast muscle growth and development.
