## Abstract TPM1ΞΊ is an alternatively spliced isoform of the __TPM1__ gene whose specific role in cardiac development and disease is yet to be elucidated. Although mRNA studies have shown TPM1ΞΊ expression in axolotl heart and skeletal muscle, it has not been quantified. Also the presence of TPM1ΞΊ p
The troponin T (TnT) transcripts in chicken slow skeletal muscle were characterized by S1 nuclease mapping and nucleotide sequencing of cDNA produced by RT-PCR and 5β²-RACE. We found two kinds of transcripts in the 5β²-region, one having the codon for alanine (position 135-137), C (258), and A (262) a
## Abstract Tropomyosin (Tm) is a dimeric coiledβcoil protein that polymerizes through headβtoβtail interactions. These polymers bind along actin filaments and play an important role in the regulation of muscle contraction. Analysis of its primary structure shows that Tm is rich in acidic residues,
The electric birefringence of rabbit skeletal tropomyosin and its nonpolymerizable derivative was studied as a function of protein concentration, pulse length, and electric field strength. Analyses of the zero field birefringence decay curves show that nonpolymerizable tropomyosin, which has had on
