Nucleosome Remodeling02:54

Nucleosome Remodeling

11.3K
Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.5K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

4.3K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

428
Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence of...

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output01:22

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output

3.5K
Cardiac output (CO), the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute, is a parameter in cardiovascular physiology determined by stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume, the amount of blood pushed from one of the ventricles per heartbeat, is influenced by preload, afterload, and contractility.
Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output01:19

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output

2.8K
Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...

Summary

Burmese pythons rapidly remodel their heart muscle during digestion. Frequent feeding alters sarcomere function and protein regulation, revealing a post-translational tuning program for enhanced cardiac contractility.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Physiology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Burmese pythons undergo significant physiological changes during digestion.
  • Cardiac remodeling is crucial for adapting to increased metabolic demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of feeding on cardiomyocyte sarcomere mechanics and molecular regulation.
  • To compare cardiac remodeling under normal versus frequent feeding conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Single-myofibril mechanics measurements and myosin heavy chain metabolic assays.
  • Multi-omics analyses including RNA sequencing, proteomics, and post-translational modification analysis (ubiquitinomics, phospho-proteomics, acetylomics).

Main Results:

  • Feeding increased myofibril tension and relaxation rate, with frequent feeding showing slower activation kinetics.
  • Proteomics indicated delayed sarcomere protein synthesis during peak remodeling.
  • Hundreds of post-translational modifications were identified on sarcomere proteins, particularly titin and myosin heavy chain.

Conclusions:

  • Cardiac remodeling in digesting pythons involves complex molecular adjustments at the sarcomere level.
  • Post-translational modifications play a key role in rapidly tuning sarcomere function for increased cardiac contractility.
