TRITC-phalloidin or FITC-labeled F-actin of ghost muscle fibers was bound to tropomyosin and C-terminal recombinant fragments of caldesmon CaDH1 (residues 506-793) or CaDH2 (residues 683-767). After that the fibers were decorated with myosin subfragment 1. In the absence of caldesmon fragments, subfragment 1 interaction with F-actin caused changes in parameters of polarized fluorescence, that were typical of "strong" binding of myosin heads to F-actin and of the "switched on" conformational state of actin. CaDH1 inhibited, whereas CaDH2 activated the effect of subfragment 1. It is suggested that C-terminal part of caldesmon may modulate the transition of F-actin subunits from the "switched on" to the "switched off" state.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.

Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011487 Protein Conformation The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain).

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
