Conditional Expression of Mutant M-line Titins Results in Cardiomyopathy with Altered Sarcomere Structure
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Titin is a giant protein responsible for muscle elasticity and provides a scaffold for several sarcomeric proteins, including the novel titin-binding protein MURF-1, which binds near the titin M-line region. Another unique feature of titin is the presence of a serine/threonine kinase-like domain at the edge of the M-line region of the sarcomere, for which no physiological catalytic function has yet been shown. To...
