Abstract excerpt
Ghost muscle fibres reconstituted with myosin heads labeled with the fluorescent probe 1,5-IAEDANS were used for analysis of muscle fibre dysfunction associated with the R133W mutation in β-tropomyosin (Tpm2.2). By using polarized microscopy, we showed that at high Ca2+ the R133W mutation in both αβ-Tpm heterodimers and ββ-Tpm homodimers decreases the amount of the myosin heads strongly bound to F-actin and the...
