Troponin-I is present as an essential component of muscles in echinoderm larvae

چکیده
The troponin complex, composed of Troponin-I, Troponin-T and Troponin-C, is an essential mediator of the contraction of striated muscle downstream of calcium signaling in almost all bilaterians. However, in echinoderms and hemichordates, collectively termed Ambulacraria, the components of the troponin complex have never been isolated, thus suggesting that these organisms lost the troponin system during evolution. Here, by analyzing genomic information from sea urchins, we identify the troponin-I gene and isolate its complete mRNA sequence. Using this information, we reveal that the larval muscles express this gene and its translated product and that the protein is definitely a functional molecule expressed in sea urchin larvae by showing that Troponin-I morphants are unable to swallow algae. We conclude that muscular contraction in all bilaterians universally depends on a regulatory system mediated by Troponin-I, which emerged in the common ancestor of bilaterians.

Serum troponin I as an indicator of myocarditis in lambs affected with foot and mouth disease
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hooved livestock and wildlife results to relatively high mortality in young animals. Despite the numerous reports of FMD-related death in neonates, there is little data available on various aspects of FMD in lambs. This report describes myocarditis associated with FMD in five, one week to three months old lambs. The lam...

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) accounts for one third of deaths. Cardiac troponin I (TnI) is a reliable biomarker of cardiac muscle tissue injury and is employed in the early diagnosis of MI.Objectives: In this study, a molecular method is introduced to early diagnosis of MI by rapid detection of TnI.Materials and Methods: The detection method was based on electrochemical aptasens...
متن کاملTwo functionally identical modular enhancers in Drosophila troponin T gene establish the correct protein levels in different muscle types.
The control of muscle-specific expression is one of the principal mechanisms by which diversity is generated among muscle types. In an attempt to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms that control fiber diversity in any given muscle, we have focused our attention on the transcriptional regulation of the Drosophila Troponin T gene. Two, nonredundant, functionally identical, enhancer-like elements ...

Background: With increase in the age there is an increase in both the incidence of hypothyroidism and cardiovascular diseases. We wanted to see whether hypothyroidism caused false positivity in patients who did not have cardiovascular problems or not. In hypothyroid state, creatine kinase leaks into blood. Troponin I in small amount persists in Cytosolic pool (the same site of creatine kina...
