Abstract excerpt
Two important charge differences between the alpha- and beta-tropomyosin (TM) isoforms are the exchange of a serine residue in the inner-core region at position 229, and a histidine residue at the carboxy-terminal end at position 276, with glutamic acid and asparagine, respectively. We have recently shown that altering these two residues in alpha-TM to their beta-TM counterparts in transgenic (TG) mouse hearts...
