Different positions of tropomyosin isoforms on actin filament are determined by specific sequences of end-to-end overlaps.

Abstract excerpt

Tropomyosins are dimeric rod-like proteins which polymerize along actin filaments and regulate interactions with other actin-binding proteins. Homologous sequences responsible for the binding of tropomyosin to consecutive actin monomers repeat along tropomyosin and are called actin-binding periods. In this work, the localization of tropomyosin isoforms on actin alone and on actin–myosin complex was evaluated by...
