Protein Structure-Function Relationship at Work:Learning from Myopathy Mutations of the Slow Skeletal Muscle Isoform of Troponin T

Troponin T (TnT) is the sarcomeric thin filament anchoring subunit of the troponin complex in striated muscles. A nonsense mutation in exon 11 of the slow skeletal muscle isoform of TnT (ssTnT) gene (TNNT1) was found in the Amish populations in Pennsylvania and Ohio. This single nucleotide substitut...
