N-DOMAIN OF TROPONIN C FROM CHICKEN SKELETAL MUSCLE, NMR, MINIMIZED AVERAGE STRUCTURE
Overview
Contractile activity of skeletal muscle is triggered by a Ca2+-induced, "opening" of the regulatory N-domain of troponin C (apo-NTnC residues, 1-90). This structural transition has become a paradigm for large-scale, conformational changes that affect the interaction between proteins. The, regulatory domain is comprised of two basic structural elements: one, contributed by the N-, A-, and D-helices (NAD unit) and the other by the, B- and C-helices (BC unit). The Ca2+-induced opening is characterized by a, movement of the BC unit away from the NAD unit with a concomitant change, in conformation at two hinges (Glu41 and Val65) of the BC unit. To examine, the effect of low temperatures on this Ca2+-induced structural change and, the implications for contractile regulation, we have examined ... [(full description)]
