Abstract excerpt
Uniform actin filament length is required for synchronized contraction of skeletal muscle. In myopathies linked to mutations in tropomyosin (Tpm) genes, irregular thin filaments are a common feature, which may result from defects in length maintenance mechanisms. The current work investigated the effects of the myopathy-causing p.R91C variant in Tpm3.12, a tropomyosin isoform expressed in slow-twitch muscle...
