Integrated multi-omics approach reveals the role of SPEG in skeletal muscle biology including its relationship with myospryn complex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
(striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase) have been linked to centronuclear myopathy. Loss of SPEG is associated with defective triad formation, abnormal excitation-contraction coupling, and calcium mishandling in skeletal muscles. To elucidate the underlying molecular pathways, we have utilized multi-omics tools and analysis to obtain a comprehensive view of the complex biological processes. We identified that SPEG interacts with myospryn complex proteins (CMYA5, FSD2, RyR1), and SPEG deficiency results in myospryn complex abnormalities. In addition, transcriptional and protein profiles of SPEG-deficient muscle revealed defective mitochondrial function including aberrant accumulation of enlarged mitochondria on electron microscopy. Furthermore, SPEG regulates RyR1 phosphorylation at S2902, and its loss affects JPH2 phosphorylation at multiple sites. On analyzing the transcriptome, the most dysregulated pathways affected by SPEG deficiency included extracellular matrix-receptor interaction and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors signaling, which may be due to defective triad and mitochondrial abnormalities. In summary, we have elucidated the critical role of SPEG in triad as it works closely with myospryn complex, phosphorylates JPH2 and RyR1, and demonstrated that its deficiency is associated with mitochondrial abnormalities. This study emphasizes the importance of using multi-omics techniques to comprehensively analyze the molecular anomalies of rare diseases. Synopsis: (striated preferentially expressed protein) with a recessive form of centronuclear myopathy and/or dilated cardiomyopathy and have characterized a striated muscle-specific SPEG-deficient mouse model that recapitulates human disease with disruption of the triad structure and calcium homeostasis in skeletal muscles. In this study, we applied multi-omics approaches (interactomic, proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and transcriptomic analyses) in the skeletal muscles of SPEG-deficient mice to assess the underlying pathways associated with the pathological and molecular abnormalities. SPEG interacts with myospryn complex proteins (CMYA5, FSD2, RyR1), and its deficiency results in myospryn complex abnormalities.SPEG regulates RyR1 phosphorylation at S2902, and its loss affects JPH2 phosphorylation at multiple sites.SPEGα and SPEGβ have different interacting partners suggestive of differential function.Transcriptome analysis indicates dysregulated pathways of ECM-receptor interaction and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling.Mitochondrial defects on the transcriptome, proteome, and electron microscopy, may be a consequence of defective calcium signaling.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
