Mechanisms of alternative RNA splicing, important in the generation of protein diversity, are common but incompletely understood. Among the contractile proteins, troponin T exists in several isoforms, shown to be derived in part from a novel pattern of differential RNA splicing in the 3'' region of the rat skeletal fast troponin T gene. In fact, this gene was a previously unsuspected capacity to encode multiple isoforms. The isolation of 4 distinct but related c[complementary]DNA from this gene, which share discontinuous subsegments of sequence identity in their 5'' regions, and the determination of the genomic sequence, demonstrate that small exons with characteristic split codon structure are differentially spliced in intricate combinatorial patterns to generate a minimum of 10, and potentially 64, distinct troponin T mRNA, encoding different isoforms, in a developmentally regulated and tissue-specific manner. At least 2 of these mRNA are spliced from structurally identical primary transcripts, necessitating control by trans-acting factors.
