Expression and biological activity of Baculovirus generated wild-type human slow alpha tropomyosin and the Met9Arg mutant responsible for a dominant form of nemaline myopathy.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously reported a Met9Arg mutation in the human skeletal muscle alpha tropomyosin gene (TPM3) associated with autosomal dominant nemaline myopathy [Nat. Genet. 9 (1995) 75]. We describe here the generation of wild-type (Wt-tpm3) and Met9Arg (M9R-tpm3) mutant human skeletal muscle slow alpha tropomyosin using the Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). This system produces correct...
