A muscle-type tropomyosin in human fibroblasts: evidence for expression by an alternative RNA splicing mechanism.

Abstract:

:We have isolated a cDNA clone from a human fibroblast cDNA library that contains the entire protein-coding region of a 1.1-kilobase mRNA. This mRNA encodes a 284-amino acid tropomyosin, the primary structure of which most closely resembles smooth muscle tropomyosin. Thus, the expression of both 284-amino acid muscle-type and 247-amino acid non-muscle-type tropomyosins appears to be a normal feature of human non-muscle cells. We also present evidence to suggest that this cytoskeletal tropomyosin and a human skeletal muscle beta-tropomyosin are derived from a common structural gene by an alternative RNA splicing mechanism.

  • Overproduction of the epsilon subunit of DNA polymerase III counteracts the SOS mutagenic response of Escherichia coli.

    abstract::It has been found that the mutator phenotype of the recA441 and recA730 strains that express the SOS response constitutively is suppressed by pIP1, a high-copy plasmid carrying the dnaQ gene encoding the 3'----5' exonuclease subunit (epsilon) of DNA polymerase III. We have constructed plasmid pIP11, in which the dnaQ ...
