... dogma that rodents express almost exclusively MHC isoforms that are typically found in fast limb muscles and not masticatory myosin. We also reported that the same rodent species express the embryonic/atrial isoform of myosin light chain 1 (MLC1E/A) in jaw-closing muscles and not a unique masticatory...

.... The results indicate that masticatory myosin is expressed in some Sciuridae species but not in other closely related species with similar diets but having different nut-opening strategies. We also discovered that the myosin light chain 1 isoform associated with masticatory myosin heavy chain, in the same four...

Dahle; Gaute Nesse; Markus Randøl; Elin Kjørsvik; Øivind Andersen SUMMARY Genes encoding the myogenic regulating factors MyoD and myogenin and the structural muscle proteins myosin light chain 2 (MyLC2) and myosin heavy chain(MyHC) were...

... to the method of Kubis and Gros( 1997 ) with minor modifications. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of myosin light chains was performed using the method of O'Farrell( 1975 ). Proteins of muscle homogenate supernatants were separated by SDS—PAGE using slabs with a 5%stacking gel and a 15% separating gel...

...Katerina A. Moutou; Adelino V. M. Canario; Zissis Mamuris; Deborah M. Power SUMMARY Two full-length cDNA clones encoding the skeletal myosin light chain 2 (MLC2; 1452bp) and myosin light chain 3 (MLC3; 972bp) were isolated from a cDNA library prepared from gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata larvae...
