cDNAs containing the complete coding sequences of four isoforms of troponin T derived from 1-week-old chick skeletal muscle have been isolated and sequenced. While the 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions and most of the coding sequence were identical for each, dramatic differences were observed in the NH2-terminal region corresponding to amino acid residues 10-37 of rabbit skeletal troponin T. These sequence differences correspond to the alternatively spliced but not mutually exclusive exons 4 to 8 of the rat skeletal muscle troponin T gene. In addition, we observe a sequence corresponding to an extra exon or exons (between 5 and 6) present in the chicken skeletal muscle gene and not previously detected in the rat skeletal or chicken cardiac genes. This sequence of 63 nucleotides consists of an almost perfect repeat of 30 and 33 nucleotides and has previously been shown to be represented as a protein variant in chicken skeletal muscle. A difference is also present in one cDNA clone corresponding to the alternatively spliced (mutually exclusive) exons 16 and 17 of the rat gene. In the protein, this corresponds to a region implicated in the interaction of troponin T with troponin C, tropomyosin, and perhaps troponin I and F-actin. |
