Evolution of a metal-binding cluster in the NH(2)-terminal variable region of avian fast skeletal muscle troponin T: functional divergence on the basis of tolerance to structural drifting.

Abstract:

:This study investigated the evolution of a transition metal ion-binding cluster ([H--X--X--X--H](n); Tx) in the alternatively spliced NH(2)-terminal variable region of avian pectoral muscle troponin T (TnT). Encoded by avian fast skeletal muscle TnT-specific P exons, Tx-like structures were expressed in the breast muscle TnT's of almost all birds examined. Their presence results in the developmentally up-regulated high molecular weight pectoral muscle TnT. Sequence analysis and metal affinity chromatography revealed that in Galliformes and Craciformes, the Tx structure evolved into multiple H--X--X--X--H pairs with a high-affinity metal-binding capacity. Turkey, chicken, quail, and curassow breast muscle TnT's contain nine, seven, four, and three consecutive or closely located metal-binding sites, respectively, in the NH(2)-terminal region. The metal-binding affinity of the Tx element increased as the number of His pairs increased due to the duplication of P exons and the conversion of other exon sequences. The data show two related components of avian pectoral muscle TnT evolution: a larger, more acidic NH(2)-terminal segment and a cluster of transition metal-binding sites, both of which may have functional significance for their selection value. The evolution of the Tx segment in the NH(2)-terminal variable region of avian pectoral muscle TnT demonstrates a functional divergence on the basis of tolerance to structural drifting.
