Abstract excerpt
The R146G mutation of troponin I (TnI) is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in humans. Earlier data pointed to stabilization of the intermediate, C state, of actin-tropomyosin-troponin by this mutant. Because cardiac disorders appear to be linked to changes in regulated actin distributions, we determined the extent to which the R146G TnI mutant alters the distribution of states at low and high Ca(2+)...
