Abstract excerpt
The Atlantic salmon Salmo salar survives below 10 °C. The main skeletal muscle is composed of a single isoform of tropomyosin (classified as Tpm1 α-fast) that is >92% identical to the mammalian homologue. How salmon Tpm1 maintains flexibility is investigated by reversing the only full charge substitution; threonine-77(g) in salmon and lysine in other vertebrates. The mutation (Thr-77 to Lys), which falls within a...
