Abstract:
:Carp acclimated to 10 degrees C gave 69k, 66k, and 62kDa light meromyosin (LMM) fragments in SDS-PAGE, while fish acclimated to 30 degrees C gave 74k, 69k, 66k, and 62kDa fragments. The microsequence analysis revealed that the 69k and 66kDa components from the 10 degrees C-acclimated carp contained an N-terminal amino acid sequence different from that of 62kDa. The four fragments from the 30 degrees C-acclimated carp showed the same sequence as that of the 69k and 66kDa components from the 10 degrees C-acclimated carp, except that the 2nd amino acid, Ala, of the 10 degrees C-acclimated LMM was replaced by Thr. DNA fragments encoding an N-terminal region of LMM were amplified by PCR or reverse transcriptase-PCR, demonstrating that the two acclimated groups further contained several amino acids substituted.
