Chicken and rat myomesin truncation and deletion mutants. (A) Domain pattern derived from the cDNAs of chicken and rat myomesin. A head domain with no homology to other known proteins is followed by a conserved arrangement of immunoglobulin-like and fibronectin type III domains. The heart isoform of chicken myomesin contains an additional unique domain at the C terminus. (B) Chicken myomesin truncation and deletion mutants. The VSV epitope was fused C-terminally to all constructs. (C) Rat myomesin truncation and deletion mutants. The mT epitope was fused C-terminally to all constructs. The deletion mutants are depicted by an interrupted line connecting domains one and three in B and C. Abbreviations used in this article to indicate the constructs are shown on the left-hand side.
