Abstract excerpt
We studied how enhanced skeletal troponin C (sTnC) Ca2+-binding affinity affects cooperative thin filament activation and contraction in single demembranated rabbit psoas fibres. Three sTnC mutants were created and incorporated into skeletal troponin (sTn) for measurement of Ca2+ dissociation, resulting in the following order of rates: wild-type (WT) sTnC-sTn>sTnC(F27W)-sTn>M80Q sTnC-sTn>M80Q sTnCF27W-sTn....
