Mutations in the N- and D-helices of the N-domain of troponin C affect the C-domain and regulatory function.

Abstract excerpt

Troponin C contains a 14-residue alpha-helix at the amino terminus, the N-helix, that calmodulin lacks. Deletion of the first 11-14 residues of troponin C alters function. In the present investigation a mutant lacking residues 1-7 of the N-helix has normal conformation, Ca2+ binding, and regulatory function. Thus, residues 8-14 of the N-helix are generally sufficient for troponin C function. In the x-ray...
