Human Skeletal Muscle Nebulin Sequence Encodes a Blueprint for Thin Filament Architecture

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of deduced protein sequence and structural motifs of approximately 5500 residues of human fetal skeletal muscle nebulin reveals the design principles of this giant multifunctional protein in the sarcomere. The bulk of the sequence is constructed of approximately 150 tandem copies of approximately 35-residue modules that can be classified into seven types. The majority of these modules form 20...
