Abstract excerpt
Displacement of the contractile protein tropomyosin from actin filament exposes the myosin-binding sites on actin, resulting in actin-myosin interaction and muscle contraction. The objective of the present study was to better understand the interaction of tropomyosin with heat shock protein (HSP)27 in contraction of smooth muscle cells of the colon. We investigated the possibility of a direct protein-protein...
