Abstract excerpt
Tropomyosin (TM) is a coiled-coil that binds head-to-tail along the helical actin filament. The ends of 284-residue tropomyosins are believed to overlap by about nine amino acids. The present study investigates the function of the N- and C-terminal overlap regions. Recombinant tropomyosins were produced in Escherichia coli in which nine amino acids were truncated from the N-terminal, C-terminal, or both ends of...
