Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of two adjacent serine residues in the unique N-terminal extension of cardiac muscle troponin I (cTnI) is known to decrease the Ca2+-sensitivity of cardiac myofilaments. To probe the structural significance of the N-terminal extension, we have constructed two cTnI mutants each containing a single cysteine: (1) a full-length cTnI mutant (S5C/C81I/C98S) and (2) a truncated cTnI mutant...
