Abstract excerpt
Striated muscle is activated by myosin- and actin-linked processes, with the latter being regulated through changes in the position of tropomyosin relative to the actin surface. The C-terminal region of cardiac troponin T (TnT), a tropomyosin-associated protein, is required for full TnT inactivation at low Ca2+ and for limiting its activation at saturating Ca2+ Here, we investigated whether basic residues in this...
