Abstract

1. The formation of a complex between troponin I and troponin C that is stable in 6M-urea and dependent on Ca2+ was demonstrated in extracts of vertebrate striated and smooth muscles. 2. A method using troponin I coupled to Sepharose is described for the rapid isolation of troponin C from striated and smooth muscles of vertebrates. 3. Troponin C of rabbit cardiac muscle differs significantly in amino acid composition from troponin C of skeletal muscle. The primary structures of troponin C of red and white skeletal muscle are very similar. 4. The troponin C-like protein isolated from rabbit uterus muscle has a slightly different amino acid composition, but possess many similar properties to the forms of troponin C isolated from other muscle types. 5. The electrophoretic mobilities of the I-troponin C complexes formed from components isolated from different muscle types are determined by the troponin I component.
