A comprehensive survey of tropomyosin from various fish myotomal muscles is reported. The fish tropomyosins were blocked at the N-terminus and, as expected, were found to be of similar amino acid composition, alpha-helical content (> 90% at 10 degrees C) and molecular weight to other vertebrate striated muscle forms. The tropomyosins of salmonids and herring muscle were noticeably heterogeneous when assessed by 2D-PAGE. The distribution of isoforms was tissue-specific: slow muscle contained alpha-type tropomyosin while fast muscle contained beta-type tropomyosin. In other species (cod, haddock, wolf-fish and sharks) alpha-type tropomyosins were present in both kinds of muscle but beta-tropomyosin was absent.
本文报道了对各种鱼类肌节肌中肌动蛋白的全面调查。鱼类肌动蛋白在N端被封闭,正如预期的那样,发现其氨基酸组成、α-螺旋含量(10℃时>90%)和分子量与其他脊椎动物横纹肌形式相似。通过二维聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳评估时,鲑科鱼类和鲱鱼肌肉的肌动蛋白明显具有异质性。同工型的分布具有组织特异性:慢肌含有α型肌动蛋白,而快肌含有β型肌动蛋白。在其他物种(鳕鱼、黑线鳕、狼鱼和鲨鱼)中,两种肌肉中都存在α型肌动蛋白,但不存在β型肌动蛋白。
