| Abstract: | During the fibre-type transformation induced by chronic electrical stimulation of rabbit fast-twitch muscle, replacement of the fast forms of the two classes of myosin light chain by their slow isoforms occurs asynchronously. Studies of total cellular myosin light chains and of the slow-to-fast transition now justify the conclusion that the asynchrony is due to switching between the expression of fast and slow genes for the two light chain classes at sequential stages of the transformation process. |
