Abstract excerpt
Force generating strong cross-bridges are required to fully activate cardiac thin filaments, but the molecular signaling mechanism remains unclear. Evidence demonstrating differential extents of cross-bridge-dependent activation of force, especially at acidic pH, in myofilaments in which slow skeletal troponin I (ssTnI) replaced cardiac TnI (cTnI) indicates the significance of a His in ssTnI that is an homologous...
