Abstract excerpt
Rabbit skeletal muscle alpha-tropomyosin (Tm), a 284-residue dimeric coiled-coil protein, spans seven actin monomers and contains seven quasiequivalent periods. X-ray analysis of cocrystals of Tm and troponin (Tn) placed the Tn core domain near residues 150-180 of Tm. To identify the Ca(2+)-sensitive Tn interaction site on Tm, we generated three Tm mutants to compare the consequences of sequence substitution...
