Abstract
A partial 5′-region cDNA (11.5 kb) of chicken breast muscle connectin/titin encoding 3752 amino acids was sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence contains 31 immunoglobulin C2 motifs and 10 interdomains. The sequence suggests a skeletal muscle type of connectin isoforms. Immunoelectron microscopic studies using antisera raised against several products of the cDNA fragments expressed inE. colirevealed that a region of some 800 amino acids from the N terminus of connectin is involved in its binding to the Z line in a sarcomere.
