Abstract excerpt
A region of interaction between the near N-terminal of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the C-lobe of troponin C (cTnC), where troponin T (cTnT) binds, appears to be critical in regulation of myofilament Ca(2+)-activation. We probed whether functional consequences of modulation of this interface influence the function of tropomyosin (Tm) in thin filament activation. We modified the C-lobe of cTnC directly by...
