Abstract
A cDNA clone was sequenced that contains the entire coding region for the muscle tropomyosin II isoform from Drosophila. The cDNA clone is 1253 nucleotides (nt) long and contains an 88-nt 5'-leader sequence and a 310-nt 3'-untranslated sequence. The muscle tropomyosin II isoform consists of 285 amino acids and is 60% homologous with the previously reported muscle tropomyosin I isoform Drosophila and 55% homologous with rabbit muscle tropomyosin.
