Abstract
Troponin T (TnT) is a central player in the calcium regulation of actin thin filament function and is essential for the contraction of striated muscles. Three homologous genes have evolved in vertebrates to encode three muscle type-specific TnT isoforms: TNNT1 for slow skeletal muscle TnT, TNNT2 for cardiac muscle TnT, and TNNT3 for fast skeletal muscle TnT. Alternative splicing and posttranslational modifications confer additional structural and functional variations of TnT during development and muscle adaptation to various physiological and pathological conditions. This review focuses on the TnT isoform genes and their molecular evolution, alternative splicing, developmental regulation, structure-function relationships of TnT proteins, posttranslational modifications, and myopathic mutations and abnormal splicing. The goal is to provide a concise summary of the current knowledge and some perspectives for future research and translational applications.

Abstract
Numerous troponin T (TnT) isoforms are produced by alternative splicing from three genes characteristic of cardiac, fast skeletal, and slow skeletal muscles. Apart from the developmental transition of fast skeletal muscle TnT isoforms, switching of TnT expression during muscle development is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated precisely and comprehensively developmental changes in chicken cardiac and slow skeletal muscle TnT isoforms by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with specific antisera. Four major isoforms composed of two each of higher and lower molecular weights were found in cardiac TnT (cTnT). Expression of cTnT changed from high- to low-molecular-weight isoforms during cardiac muscle development. On the other hand, such a transition was not found and only high-molecular-weight isoforms were expressed in the early stages of chicken skeletal muscle development. Two major and three minor isoforms of slow skeletal muscle TnT (sTnT), three of which were newly found in this study, were expressed in chicken skeletal muscles. The major sTnT isoforms were commonly detected throughout development in slow and mixed skeletal muscles, and at developmental stages until hatching-out in fast skeletal muscles. The expression of minor sTnT isoforms varied from muscle to muscle and during development.

Abstract
The vertebrate fast skeletal muscle troponin T gene, TnTf, produces a complexity of isoforms through differential mRNA splicing. The mechanisms that regulate splicing and the physiological significance of TnTf isoforms are poorly understood. To investigate these questions, we have determined the complete sequence structure of the quail TnTf gene, and we have characterized the developmental expression of alternatively spliced TnTf mRNAs in quail embryonic muscles. We report the following: 1) the quail TnTf gene is significantly larger than the rat TnTf gene and has 8 non-homologous exons, including a pectoral muscle-specific set of alternatively spliced exons; 2) specific sequences are implicated in regulated exon splicing; 3) a 900-base pair sequence element, composed primarily of intron sequence flanking the pectoral muscle-specific exons, is tandemly repeated 4 times and once partially, providing direct evidence that the pectoral-specific TnT exon domain arose by intragenic duplications; 4) a chicken repeat 1 retrotransposon element resides upstream of this repeated intronic/pectoral exon sequence domain and is implicated in transposition of this element into an ancestral genome; and 5) a large set of novel isoforms, produced by regulated exon splicing, is expressed in quail muscles, providing insights into the developmental regulation, physiological function, and evolution of the vertebrate TnTf isoforms.

Abstract
Troponin T (TnT) is present in striated muscle of vertebrates and invertebrates as a group of homologous proteins with molecular weights usually in the 31-36 kDa range. It occupies a unique role in the regulatory protein system in that it interacts with TnC and TnI of the troponin complex and the proteins of the myofibrillar thin filament, tropomyosin and actin. In the myofibril the molecule is about 18 nm long and for much its length interacts with tropomyosin. The ability of TnT to form a complex with tropomyosin is responsible for locating the troponin complex with a periodicity of 38.5 nm along the thin filament of the myofibril. In addition to it structural role, TnT has the important function of transforming the TnI-TnC complex into a system, the inhibitory activity of which, on the tropomyosin-actomyosin MgATPase of the myofibril, becomes sensitive to calcium ions. Different genes control the expression of TnT in fast skeletal, slow skeletal and cardiac muscles. In all muscles, and particularly in fast skeletal, alternative splicing of mRNA produces a series of isoforms in a developmentally regulated manner. In consequence TnT exists in many more isoforms than any of the other thin filament proteins, the TnT superfamily. Despite the general homology of TnT isoforms, this alternative splicing leads to variable regions close to the N- and C-termini. As the isoforms have slightly different effects on the calcium sensitivity of the actomyosin MgATPase, modulation of the contractile response to calcium can occur during development and in different muscle types. TnT has recently aroused clinical interest in its potential for detecting myocardial damage and the association of mutations in the cardiac isoform with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
During development of the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi, the tadpole larva hatched from the tailbud embryo metamorphoses to the sessile adult with a body wall muscle. Although the adult body wall muscle is morphologically nonsarcomeric smooth muscle, it contains troponin complex consisting of three subunits (T, I, and C) as do vertebrate striated muscles. Different from vertebrate troponins, however, the smooth muscle troponin promotes actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase activity in the presence of high concentration of Ca2+, and this promoting property is attributable to troponin T. To address whether the embryonic/larval tail striated muscle and the adult smooth muscle utilize identical or different regulatory machinery, we cloned troponin T cDNAs from each cDNA library. The embryonic and the adult troponin Ts were encoded by distinct genes and shared only <60% identity with each other. Northern blotting and whole mount in situ hybridization revealed that these isoforms were specifically expressed in the embryonic/larval tail striated muscle and the adult smooth muscle, respectively. These results may imply that these isoforms regulate actin-myosin interaction in different manners. The adult troponin T under forced expression in mouse fibroblasts was unexpectedly located in the nuclei. However, a truncated protein with a deletion including a cluster of basic amino acids colocalized with tropomyosin on actin filaments. Thus, complex formation with troponin I and C immediately after the synthesis is likely to be essential for the protein to properly localize on the thin filaments.

Abstract
Cells prepared from chicken skeletal muscles of different developmental stages were cultured to study their troponin T isoform expression, using antisera specific to the fast- and slow-muscle-type isoforms. We found that the cultured myogenic cells from chickens and chick embryos were classified into two types, fast type and fast/slow type in which fast- and slow-muscle-type isoforms were coexpressed. Cells expressing only slow-muscle-type troponin T isoforms could not be found. Most cells prepared from pectoralis major (fast muscle) and gastrocnemius (mixed muscle) of 11-day old embryos belonged to the latter, with only a small fraction belonging to the former. The percentage of fast type cells in those cells prepared from pectoralis major increased along development to over 90% by the 17th day of incubation, while, in the cells prepared from gastrocnemius, it reached a plateau of 30-40% by the 13th day of incubation. All the cells from anterior latissimus dorsi (slow muscle) belonged to the fast/slow type. Ratios of these two types of muscle cells varied depending on their origins and stages. The in vitro expression of troponin T isoforms was different from the in vivo expression, and each muscle seems to be determined differently in the composition of cell types during the developmental course.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding human fast skeletal beta troponin T (beta TnTf) has been isolated and characterized from a fetal skeletal muscle library. The cDNA insert is 1,000 bp in length and contains the entire coding region of 777 bp and 5' and 3' untranslated (UT) segments of 12 and 211 bp, respectively. The 3' UT segment shows the predicted stem-loop structure typical of eukaryotic mRNAs. The cDNA-derived amino acid sequence is the first available sequence for human beta TnTf protein. It is encoded by a single-copy gene that is expressed in a tissue-specific manner in fetal and adult fast skeletal muscles. Although the human beta TnTf represents the major fetal isoform, the sequence information indicates that this cDNA and the coded protein are quite distinct from the fetal and neonatal TnTf isoforms reported in other mammalian fetal muscles. The hydropathy plot indicates that human beta TnTf is highly hydrophilic along its entire length. The protein has an extremely high degree of predicted alpha-helical content involving the entire molecule except the carboxy-terminal 30 residues. Comparative sequence analysis reveals that the human beta TnTf shares a high level of sequence similarity in the coding region with other vertebrate TnTf and considerably reduced similarity with slow skeletal and cardiac TnT cDNAs. The TnT isoforms have a large central region consisting of amino acid residues 46-204 which shows a high sequence conservation both at the nucleotide and amino acid levels. This conserved region is flanked by the variable carboxy-terminal and an extremely variable amino-terminal segment. The tropomyosin-binding peptide of TnT, which is represented by amino acid residues 47-151 and also includes a part of troponin I binding region, is an important domain of this central segment. It is suggested that this conserved segment is encoded by an ancestral gene. The variable regions of vertebrate striated TnT isoforms reflect the subsequent addition and modification of genomic sequences to give rise to members of the TnT multigene family.

Abstract
This study attempted to investigate the expression of skeletal muscle troponin T isoforms in chicken reared for six months after muscle transplantations of breast muscle into leg muscle, leg muscle into breast muscle, and slow muscle into breast and leg muscles of the same animal. The regenerated muscle after transplantation was studied by histological observation, two-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunoblotting with anti-troponin T antibodies. Persistent expression of troponin T isoforms specific to donor tissue was observed in the regenerated muscle, and compared with their expression in the normal developing muscles. During the regeneration, the cells grew up and expressed troponin T isoforms in a manner similar to that in normal developing muscles, and on around the 178th day after the transplantation, the regenerated muscle expressed the adult type troponin T isoforms. Based on the troponin T isoforms expressed in the transplants, we consider that one type of skeletal muscle has some inherent potential to grow in and coexist with other types for a long term.

Abstract
The expression of the alpha fast (alpha f) and beta tropomyosin (TM) genes has been analysed with muscle-specific and common cDNA probes after unilateral nerve section of the pectoralis major muscle (PM) in 4-week-old chickens. The following were observed in denervated muscles. (1) The beta TM mRNA, which was repressed during development, reaccumulates in a biphasic curve with the increase in the beta TM protein lagging behind the changes in its mRNA. Accordingly, no beta TM is seen in products translated in vitro from total and polyA+ RNA obtained 1 week after denervation. No such translation block is seen with RNA obtained from control or muscles denervated for 6 weeks. (2) No changes in the alpha fTM mRNA and corresponding protein are observed. (3) RNA processing of the two genes is not changed. (4) In the contralateral muscles, transitory increases in alpha f and beta TM mRNAs are observed while the corresponding proteins remain unchanged. Our data suggest that muscle fibres display early and long-term responses to the loss of neural input which might result from a combination of changes produced by regenerative processes and reprogramming of existing fibres. Moreover, in contrast to normal development, no reciprocal changes of alpha f and beta TM expression are seen in denervated muscles.

Abstract
The contractile proteins of skeletal muscle are often represented by families of very similar isoforms. Protein isoforms can result from the differential expression of multigene families or from multiple transcripts from a single gene via alternative splicing. In many cases the regulatory mechanisms that determine the accumulation of specific isoforms via alternative splicing or differential gene expression are being unraveled. However, the functional significance of expressing different proteins during muscle development remains a key issue that has not been resolved. It is widely believed that distinct isoforms within a family are uniquely adapted to muscles with different physiological properties, since separate isoform families are often coordinately regulated within functionally distinct muscle fiber types. It is also possible that different isoforms are functionally indistinguishable and represent an inherent genetic redundancy among critically important muscle proteins. The goal of this review is to assess the evidence that muscle proteins which exist as different isoforms in developing and mature skeletal and cardiac muscles are functionally unique. Since regulation of both transcription and alternative splicing within multigene families may also be an important factor determining the accumulation of specific protein isoforms, evidence that genetic regulation rather than protein coding information provides the functional basis of isoform diversity is also examined.

Abstract
The expression of fast-muscle-type troponin T isoforms in chicken skeletal muscles was studied by two-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. According to the pattern of troponin T isoform expression, chicken fast muscle was classified into two groups: One group expressed breast-fast-muscle-type troponin T in addition to leg-fast-muscle-type troponin T, the other expressed only leg-fast-muscle-type troponin T. To the former group belong breast and wing fast muscles and some of the back fast muscles, and to the latter group belong the fast muscles in leg, abdomen, and neck. Transplantation of breast muscle into leg was performed in order to change the physical environment and to investigate the mechanism of isoform expression. Histological observation of the transplant revealed severe degeneration of muscle cells, followed by differentiation of myoblasts in which breast-muscle-type troponin T was eventually expressed. The results showed that the pattern of troponin T isoform expression is primarily fixed in the cell lineage, although nerves modulate it.

Abstract
Four variants of troponin T (TnT) cDNAs have been isolated and sequenced. These cDNAs have been derived from rabbit skeletal muscle, the most widely studied source of troponin, of a 11-day-old animal. One variant (TnT-1) contains the complete coding sequence, while in three variants the coding sequences are truncated at the 5' termini. The previously published amino acid sequence differs from the present cDNA-derived sequences at three locations. At least two, possibly all, of them are probably accounted for by errors in peptide sequencing. The present results are consistent with the two types of alternative splicing of TnT genes, both being first reported on the rat gene. (1) Highly variable sequences in the amino-terminal region are accounted for by the alternative splicing of exons 4-8 in an interchangeable but not mutually exclusive manner. (2) In the carboxyl-terminal region, the alternative splicing of two exons 17 (beta-type) or 16 (alpha-type) in mutually exclusive manner is consistent with the difference between all the four cDNAs, which express exon 17, and the previously published peptide sequence (derived from the adult muscle) in which exon 16 is present. This variation also corresponds to the finding in chicken skeletal muscle that the choice of exon 16 or 17 may be dependent on developmental stages. Finally, a sequence is observed corresponding to an extra exon or exons between exons 5 and 6. This sequence is shorter than that of the chicken skeletal muscle gene and is not detected in the rat skeletal muscle gene.

Abstract
The expression of troponin (Tn) T, a thin-filament regulatory protein, was examined in left ventricular myocardium from normal and from failing adult human hearts. The differences in isoform expression between normal and failing myocardium led us to examine the ontogenic expression of TnT in human striated muscle. Left ventricular samples were obtained from patients with severe heart failure undergoing cardiac transplantation and normal adult organ donors. Fetal muscle was obtained from aborted fetuses after 14-15 weeks of gestation, and adult skeletal muscle was obtained from surgical biopsies. Western blots of normal and failing adult heart proteins demonstrated that two isoforms, TnT1 and TnT2, are expressed in different amounts, with TnT2 being significantly greater in failing hearts (p less than 0.004). Western blots of two-dimensional gels of these proteins resolved two predominant spots of both TnT1 and TnT2 and several minor TnT species. Alkaline phosphatase treatment converted the two major spots of each isoform into the single more basic spots. A comparison of the ATPase activities and the TnT2 percentage of total TnT in individual failing and normal adult hearts demonstrated an inverse and negative relation (r = 0.7, p less than 0.02). In the fetal heart, four TnT isoforms were found, two of which had the same electrophoretic mobilities as the adult cardiac isoforms TnT1 and TnT2. Fetal skeletal muscle expressed two of the four fetal cardiac TnT isoforms, one of which comigrated with adult cardiac TnT1. These cardiac isoforms were expressed in low abundance in fetal skeletal muscle relative to seven fast skeletal muscle TnT isoforms. No cardiac isoforms were present in adult skeletal muscle. Because many etiologies caused heart failure in the transplant patients, we propose that the disease-associated increased expression of the TnT isoform TnT2 is an adaptation to the heart failure state and a partial recapitulation of the fetal expression of cardiac TnT isoforms.

Abstract
Using a monoclonal antibody (F24) in an immunoblotting procedure, the composition of fast troponin T in several adult and developing skeletal muscles of rat and human was studied. With the exception of diaphragm, four isoforms of fast troponin T (HF1-HF4) were detected in all the adult human skeletal muscles investigated. Another isoform of fast troponin T undetectable in the adult human skeletal muscles, designated the fetal isoform (HFF1), was found to be present in all fetal skeletal muscles at 20 weeks of gestation except the diaphragm. Unlike isoform HF4 that was undetectable in all the fetal skeletal muscles, isoforms HF1-HF3 were present in all the human fetal skeletal muscles including the diaphragm. At least five isoforms of fast troponin T (AF1-AF5) could be detected in adult rat skeletal muscles. An additional isoform designated (D) appeared to be present in the rat diaphragm. In some muscles one of the isoforms, AF1, could be further resolved into two to three variants. The proportions and the level of expression of AF1-AF5 isoforms varied not only in different muscles but in some cases also in different parts of the same muscle. In addition to the adult isoforms, four other developmental isoforms termed fetal (FF1 and FF2) and neonatal (NF1 and NF2), were detected during the early development in the rat skeletal muscles. Their presence was first detected during the late fetal to early neonatal period and these isoforms were generally undetectable in a majority of the muscles after 1-2 months of age although their low level of expression persisted in a small number of muscles.

Abstract
The contractile properties and myofibrillar protein composition of fast muscle have been characterized in pure strains of two tropical fish Oreochromis niloticus and O. andersoni. Single fast muscle fibres were isolated from the abdominal myotomes and chemically skinned. The maximum tension-temperature relationships of fibres were similar at 25-30 degrees C, but diverged below 17 degrees C. At 10 degrees C, maximum tension was around 60% higher in O. andersoni (160 +/- 15 kN m-2) than O. niloticus (105 +/- 13 kN m-2) (mean +/- SD). The myofibrillar protein composition of fast fibres was investigated using one-dimensional and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and peptide mapping. The two Oreochromis species differed with respect to the composition of myosin light chains, troponin I and myosin heavy chains (V8 protease and chymotrypsin peptide maps). An unexpected finding was the presence of two isoforms of myosin light chain 1 in O. andersoni, with apparent molecular masses of 27.5 kDa (LC1f1) and 26.9 kDa (LC1f2). Individuals with LC1f1 (n = 20) and LC1f1 + LC1f2 (n = 12) were represented in the population studied. The myosin light chain 3 (LC3f) content of fibres was similar in both cases. Breeding experiments established that these intra-specific variations in isoform composition were heritable. Fast muscle from O. niloticus and O. andersoni contain two isoforms of troponin I (TNIfl + TNIf2) which were both expressed in single fibres. The identity of TNI was confirmed using a stationary phase troponin-C affinity column. Of the 20 O. niloticus studied seven contained only TNIf1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Using a monoclonal antibody (CDC4) that recognizes both the cardiac and slow skeletal isoforms of troponin T in an immunoblotting procedure, the composition of troponin T isoforms in adult and developing skeletal muscles of the rat and human were studied. Two major isoforms of slow troponin T (HS1 and HS2) were detected in all the adult human skeletal muscles investigated. Significant amounts of another isoform (HS3) in addition to HS1 and HS2 were also detectable in a subgroup of these muscles. All the human fetal skeletal muscles at 20 weeks of gestation expressed HS1 and HS2 isoforms but not HS3. The fetal skeletal muscles, also expressed cardiac troponin T in addition. Unlike the human skeletal muscles, only a single isoform of slow troponin T was detected by antibody CDC4 in both the adult and neonatal rat skeletal muscles. The investigation of fetal rat skeletal muscles using the same antibody, however, detected the presence of not only the embryonic cardiac and adult slow skeletal isoforms but also five additional not previously described isoforms (Es1-Es5) of troponin T. These embryonic isoforms, Es1-Es5, were undetectable in the postnatal skeletal muscles although their small amounts could be detected in the neonatal rat hearts. The analysis of individual skeletal muscles from different parts of the body at different stages of fetal development showed marked variations in both the composition of troponin T isoforms and the time sequence of their transitions in each muscle.

Abstract
Alternative splicing has emerged in recent years as a widespread device for regulating gene expression and generating protein diversity. Its analysis has provided some mechanistic understanding of this form of gene regulation and, in addition, has provided new insights into some fundamental aspects of splicing. This mode of regulation is particularly prevalent in muscle cells, where genes such as troponin T are able to generate up to 64 different isoforms from a single transcriptional unit. Alternative splicing has the potential to raise the coding capacity of the small multigene families that code for the contractile proteins so that several million structurally different sarcomeres can be generated. The mammalian alpha-tropomyosin gene has proved particularly useful for the analysis of the mechanisms involved in this type of regulation. In particular, the mutually exclusive splicing of exons 2 and 3 has provided answers about the processes involved in the three main regulatory steps: (a) establishment of mutually exclusive behavior; (b) the elements involved in setting up the default pattern of splicing, and (c) the switch from the default to the regulated splicing pattern in some cell types.

Abstract
Subtraction hybridization techniques were used to isolate 91 cDNA clones which are overexpressed in normal control skeletal muscle relative to muscle from patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy. The gene responsible for myotonic dystrophy (DM) has been localized to the 19q13.2-13.3 region of chromosome 19. To test as a candidate gene for DM, clones which represent differences in transcription are analyzed for localization to chromosome 19. One clone, designated MSL 366, was found to be on the long arm of chromosome 19 distal to the CKMM gene at 19q13.2. Sequence analysis confirmed that MSL 366 is the cDNA for human slow skeletal muscle troponin T. A genomic clone has been isolated and linkage studies with DM are in progress.

Abstract
In adult fast skeletal muscle, specific combinations of thin filament and Z-line protein isoforms are coexpressed. To determine whether the expression of these sets of proteins, designated the TnT1f, TnT2f, and TnT3f programs, is coordinated during development, we characterized the transitions in troponin T (TnT), tropomyosin (Tm), and alpha-actinin isoforms that occur in developing fetal and neonatal rabbit skeletal muscle. Two coordinated developmental transitions were identified, and a novel pattern of thin filament expression was found in fetal muscle. In fetal muscle, new TnT species--whose protein and immunochemical properties suggest that they are the products of a new TnT gene--are expressed in combination with beta 2 Tm and alpha-actinin1f/s. This pattern, which is found in both back and hindlimb muscles, is specific to fetal and early neonatal muscle. Just prior to birth, there is a transition from the fetal program to the isoforms that define the TnT3f program, TnT3f, and alpha beta Tm. Like the fetal program, expression of the TnT3f program appears to be a general feature of muscle development, because it occurs in a variety of fast muscles as well as in the slow muscle soleus. The transition to adult patterns of thin filament expression begins at the end of the first postnatal week. Based on studies of erector spinae, the isoforms comprising the TnT2f program, TnT2f, alpha 2 Tm, and alpha-actinin2f, appear and increase coordinately at this time. The transitions, first to the TnT3f program, and then to adult patterns of expression indicate that synthesis of the isoforms comprising each program is coordinated during muscle specialization and throughout muscle development. In addition, these observations point to a dual role for the TnT3f program, which is the major thin filament program in some adult muscles, but appears to bridge the transition from developmentally to physiologically regulated patterns of thin filament expression during the late fetal and early neonatal development.

Abstract
Postnatal development of the mammalian heart is associated with changes in the population of isoforms of the thin filament proteins. We correlated the change in thin filament proteins, which occur in rabbit hearts between 5 days and 22 days of age, with changes in Ca2+ dependence of myofibrillar ATPase activity, force generation, and troponin C Ca2+ binding. The preparations derived from the 5-day-old animals exhibited a high molecular weight isoform of troponin T not found in the hearts of the 22-day-old animals. Other troponin T isoforms were also found to be present in different relative amounts. No other major differences in thin filament protein composition could be identified. Compared with the 5-day-old rabbit heart preparations, the ATPase activity of myofibrils from 22-day-old rabbit hearts exhibited a reduced Ca2+ sensitivity. The pCa50 (negative log of the half-maximal-activity free Ca2+) of the MgATPase activity was shifted by 0.15 pCa units with maturation. Maturation of the myofibrils was also associated with an increased effect of Mg2+ on pCa50. On increasing the Mg2+ from 2 to 10 mM at constant MgATP2-, the pCa50 of 5-day myofibrils was increased (shifted to the right) by 0.39 pCa units for 5-day-old rabbit hearts and 0.45 pCa units for 22-day-old rabbit hearts. Although similar changes in pCa50 of force developed by myofibrils were marginally significant, fibers from hearts of 5-day-old rabbits exhibited a greater Hill coefficient than hearts from 22-day-old rabbits (3.0 vs. 2.1). Despite the increased sensitivity of 5-day-old rabbit hearts to Ca2+, these hearts exhibited significantly less Ca2+ bound to myofibrillar troponin C than did the 22-day-old rabbit hearts. Moreover, the models that best described the Ca2+ binding data are different for the two age groups. Our data indicate that the Ca2+ activation and Ca2+ binding properties of myofibrillar troponin C are altered in developing cardiac myofibrils and that the changes in these properties may be influenced by changes in the troponin T isoforms present in the myofibril.

Abstract
Myocardium is generally thought to express no more than two isoforms of troponin T (TnT). We have recently reported that TnT purified from rabbit myocardium is resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into five proteins (TnT1, TnT2, TnT3, TnT4, and TnT5). In this study, these proteins are characterized immunologically and a novel elaborate maturational profile is described. Myocardium was obtained from 23 days of gestation fetal rabbits and 2-day, 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month postnatal rabbits. The major species in the adult myocardium, TnT4, was identified on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and excised. The protein was electroeluted and purified. An amino acid microsequence of a cleaved fragment of this protein was found to be virtually identical to residues 86-99 from adult rabbit cardiac TnT. The protein, TnT4, was used to raise a polyclonal antibody. This antibody recognized all five isoforms from purified cardiac TnT, but none of the TnT isoforms from fast skeletal muscle. A monoclonal antibody, Mab JLT-12, raised against a highly conserved epitope of rabbit fast skeletal muscle, recognized all five cardiac as well as five skeletal muscle isoforms. Western blots performed on intact myocardial preparations demonstrated that TnT1, the cardiac isoform with the slowest electrophoretic mobility, was expressed prominently in the immature hearts, in addition to TnT2, TnT3, and TnT4, but TnT1 was not evident in the 3-month and 6-month postnatal hearts. The expression of TnT2 also decreased with maturation. Thus, the number of TnT isoforms expressed in the rabbit decreases with maturation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The accumulation of troponin subunits in developing chicken breast muscle was determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and an image analyzing system. Many troponin T isoforms, including those hidden behind creatine kinase, were detected on the two-dimensional pattern by the addition of 6 M urea in the second dimension. These troponin T isoforms were classified into four types by developmental order, isoelectric point, and molecular weight: leg-muscle type (L), neonatal breast-muscle type (BN), young chicken breast-muscle type (BC), and adult breast-muscle type (BA). The L-, BN-, and BC-type troponin Ts were transiently expressed at specific developmental stages. Quantitative analysis of two-dimensional patterns of troponin subunits including troponin I and troponin C showed moderate coordination in accumulation among the three subunits throughout postnatal development, when the total amount of all isoforms of troponin T was taken into account.

Abstract
We examined cardiac troponin T (TnT) isoform expression in rabbit left ventricular myocardium at three different stages of postnatal development. Using sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis (PAGE), we resolved five isoforms: TnT1, TnT2, TnT3, TnT4, and TnT5. TnT1 had the slowest electrophoretic mobility and TnT5 the fastest. The predominant isoforms were TnT2, TnT3, and TnT4. The relative amounts of TnT2, TnT3, TnT4, and TnT5 were examined in myocardium from three age-groups: 3 days (Group 1), 21-22 days (Group 2), and 99-109 days (Group 3). The amount of TnT2 relative to the total amount of TnT (determined by the ratio of the areas under the densitometric curves) decreased significantly (p less than 0.01) with age from 42 +/- 4% in Group 1 to 25 +/- 3% in Group 3. In contrast, the relative amount of TnT4 increased with age from 23 +/- 2% in Group 1 to 33 +/- 4% in Group 3 (p less than 0.01). The relative amounts of the other two isoforms change biphasically with development: TnT3 decreased from Group 1 to Group 2 and increased from Group 2 to Group 3. TnT5, a minor isoform, increased from Group 1 to Group 2 and decreased from Group 2 to Group 3. These developmental changes in troponin T expression may account for some of the maturational changes observed in the physiological and biochemical properties of the myocardium.

Abstract
The properties of extraocular muscles (EOMs) are quite different from those of the trunk and limb. Here we show that there is a novel pattern of troponin T (TnT) expression in EOMs which most likely contributes to the fine control of ocular movement and may reflect their innervation by cranial motoneurons. Three regions of the muscle were analysed to distinguish the TnT isoforms present in the fast singly-innervated fibres from those in the multiply-innervated fibres. More than 95% of the TnT in the singly-innervated fibres is TnT3f, which exhibits the most graded response to changes in calcium concentration during activation (Schachat et al., J. molec. Biol. 198, 551-4). In multiply-innervated fibres, which exhibit tonic contractures, the slow troponin T TnT2s is expressed. While neither TnT3f nor TnT2s is unique to EOM, this pattern is unusual in two respects: first, both TnT3f and TnT2s are minor components of the trunk and limb musculature, and second, most muscles express several fast and both slow TnT species. Although EOM occupies a highly specialized physiological niche, its unusual physiology is not reflected in the presence of new TnT isoforms but in the expression of a different ratio of the known species of TnT.

Abstract
In a search for additional Ca2+ regulatory components in vascular smooth muscle, a novel troponin T-like protein was purified from bovine aorta smooth muscle. The isolated protein was separated into several isoforms on isoelectric focusing. The major isoelectric variants were focused in the pH region of 8.4 to 9.1. The protein had slightly different molecular masses in the Mr range of 35,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Its molar ratio relative to tropomyosin in the muscle extract was estimated to be 0.9:1.0. The novel protein bound to the immobilized calmodulin and exhibited a number of common physicochemical properties with gizzard (Mr = 34,000) calmodulin-binding and F-actin-binding protein. The aorta and gizzard proteins were immunologically cross-reactive. Both proteins shared a common antigenic determinant with COOH-terminal segments of rabbit skeletal and bovine cardiac troponin T and bound to the immobilized smooth muscle tropomyosin. Both proteins interacted with rabbit skeletal troponin C in the presence and absence of Ca2+, but they did not interact with troponin I. These results suggest that the novel protein, which is designated calponin, may be a specialized component of smooth muscle thin filament involved in the regulation of contractile apparatus.
