We have analyzed nearly 2,000 myosin heavy chain gene (Myh) clones representing over 30 different transcripts from seven of eight striated muscleMyhgenes expressed in mouse. We also report the transcriptional start sites (TSS) for the mouse developmentalMyhgenes. The data reveal a previously unknown diversity of TSSs and 5′-end alternative splicing in these transcripts. The cardiacMyh6gene had two major TSSs. Use of the major downstream site led to an alternatively spliced second exon. Each of the otherMyhgenes had one major TATA-directed TSS and one or more minor alternative TSSs, some associated with alternative splicing. The minor transcripts were associated with polysomes and their spatial-temporal expression largely mirrored that of the major transcripts in wild-type,Myh1null,Myh4null, injured, and uninjured muscle, except that one form ofMyh7, detected in heart, was not detected in diaphragm, and the ratio of the two majorMyh6transcripts varied in some circumstances. These findings indicate that alternative TSS usage and alternative splicing in the 5′-UTR are a general feature of murineMyhgene expression and thatMyhgene regulation is more complex than previously appreciated.
