- Initiation In Bacteria Needs 30s Subunits And Accessory Factors
KEY TERMS:A ribosome-binding site is a sequence on bacterial mRNA that includes an initiation codon that is bound by a 30S subunit in the initiation phase of protein synthesis. An initiation complex in bacterial protein synthesis contains a small ribosome...
- Prokaryotic Genes Are Colinear With Their Proteins
KEY TERMS:A colinear relationship describes the 1:1 representation of a sequence of triplet nucleotides in a sequence of amino acids. KEY CONCEPTS: A prokaryotic gene consists of a continuous length of 3N nucleotides that codes for N amino acids. The...
- A Gene Codes For A Single Polypeptide
KEY TERMS:A homomultimer is a protein composed of identical subunits. A heteromultimer is a protein that is composed of nonidentical subunits (coded by different genes). KEY CONCEPTS: The one gene : one enzyme hypothesis summarizes the basis of modern...

Coined/History
Desmin is a protein of vertebrates first described in 1976, and purified in 1977
Definition
Desmin is a 52kD protein that is subunit of intermediate filament found near the Z line in sarcomere of muscle. It is encoded by DES gene mutations of which cause myopathy myofibrillar type 1 (MFM1) or desmin-related myopathy (DRM) .
