“…In addition, Tropomyosin 1 (Tpm1) stood out with three DISNs, a CE and a pair of mutually exclusive exons, that had some of the highest confidence levels detected (Tpm1_29, Tpm1_22 and Tpm1_25 corresponding to exon 9a, 6a and 6b respectively). These splicing events have been shown to be part of a coordinated transition between a smooth muscle and striated muscle program, orchestrated by the antagonistic splicing regulation between PTBP1 and RBFOX2 (Cao et al, 2021). This transition was captured along a differentiation trajectory encompassing the early caudal epiblast (ECE), the FHF and PHT (Figures 7C and S5D) which also highlighted a switch for the N-(Tpm1_14, exon 1b) and C-(Tpm1_32, 9b) termini that has been shown to modulate the protein's interaction with actin and troponin, hereby assisting muscle contraction (Cao et al, 2021;Hammell and Hitchcock-DeGregori, 1996).…”
