We have recently determined the complete nucleotide sequences of the cardiac alpha- and beta-myosin heavy chain (MyHC) genes from both human and Syrian hamster. These genomic sequence data were used to study the molecular evolution of the cardiac MyHC genes. Between the alpha- and beta-MyHC genes, m

The β£and β€-myosin genes extend over 51 kb on chromosome 14 in human and 11 in mouse separated by about 4.5 kb of intergenic sequence. They are located in tandem in the order of their expression during development. Transcription of each gene is independently controlled but coordinately regulated. Dur
Several neuroendocrine factors have been shown to influence the muscle phenotype. Various physiological reports have suggested the role of adrenergic nervous system for cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression. We have used cultured fetal rat heart myocytes to investigate the role of cAMP on the
