Nonmuscle and muscle tropomyosin isoforms are expressed from a single gene by alternative RNA splicing and polyadenylation.

Míreanna Comhchosúla

• Alternative splicing of beta-tropomyosin pre-mRNA: multiple cis-elements can contribute to the use of the 5'- and 3'-splice sites of the nonmuscle/smooth muscle exon 6.

• cis-elements involved in alternative splicing in the rat beta-tropomyosin gene: the 3'-splice site of the skeletal muscle exon 7 is the major site of blockage in nonmuscle cells.

• Alternative splicing of a Drosophila tropomyosin gene generates muscle tropomyosin isoforms with different carboxy-terminal ends.
