Abstract excerpt
Sarcomeric organization of thin and thick filaments in striated muscle is important for the efficient generation of contractile forces. Sarcomeric actin filaments are uniform in their lengths and regularly arranged in a striated pattern. Tropomodulin caps the pointed end of actin filaments and is a crucial regulator of sarcomere assembly. Here, we report unexpected synergistic functions of tropomodulin with...
