Quantitative proteomic approach is a suitable way to tackle the beef tenderness. Ten aged-beef samples from Longissimus thoracis of Piemontese breed classified as tender (n =5) and tough (n =5) meat were evaluated using SWATH-MS and bioinformatic tools for the identification of the proteins and pathways most influencing tenderness variability. Between the two textural groups, proteomic changes were mainly caused by 43 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) arranged in reference patterns as displayed by the heat map analysis. Most of these DAPs were associated with energy metabolism. From the functional proteomic analysis, two clusters of proteins, including ACO2, MDH1, MDH2 and CS in one cluster and FBP2, PFKL, LDHA, TPI1 and GAPDH/S in the other cluster, suggest gluconeogenesis, glycolysis and citrate cycle as key pathways for Piemontese breed beef tenderness. These findings contribute to a deeper insight into molecular pathways related to beef tenderness.

Abstract
Quantitative proteomic approach is a suitable way to tackle the beef tenderness. Ten aged-beef samples from Longissimus thoracis of Piemontese breed classified as tender (n =5) and tough (n =5) meat were evaluated using SWATH-MS and bioinformatic tools for the identification of the proteins and pathways most influencing tenderness variability. Between the two textural groups, proteomic changes were mainly caused by 43 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) arranged in reference patterns as displayed by the heat map analysis. Most of these DAPs were associated with energy metabolism. From the functional proteomic analysis, two clusters of proteins, including ACO2, MDH1, MDH2 and CS in one cluster and FBP2, PFKL, LDHA, TPI1 and GAPDH/S in the other cluster, suggest gluconeogenesis, glycolysis and citrate cycle as key pathways for Piemontese breed beef tenderness. These findings contribute to a deeper insight into molecular pathways related to beef tenderness.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
