Abstract excerpt
In cardiac muscle, regulation of actin polymerization at the thin filament pointed end is controlled by two structurally similar but functionally antagonistic proteins, leiomodin-2 and tropomodulin-1. Both proteins contain tropomyosin-binding site 1, which is essential for their recruitment to the pointed end. Using circular dichroism, we determined changes in melting temperatures (ΔTm) for complexes of...
