Abstract excerpt
Cardiac troponin (cTn) is made up of three subunits, cTnC, cTnI, and cTnT. The regulatory N-terminal domain of cTnC (cNTnC) controls cardiac muscle contraction in a calcium-dependent manner. We show that calcium-saturated cNTnC can adopt two different orientations, with the "active" orientation consistent with the 2020 cryo-EM structure of the activated cardiac thin filament by Yamada et al. Using solution NMR...
