The effect of troponin I and caldesmon on phalloidin-rhodamine- and 1,5-IAEDANS-labelled actin in skeletal muscle ghost fibers was investigated by polarized fluorescence. Both these proteins inhibited the structural alterations in the actin monomer and the increase of flexibility of actin filaments occurring on binding of myosin heads, and their effects were potentiated by tropomyosin. This immobilization of the actin filament through troponin I and caldesmon seems to originate from restriction of the relative motions of the two domains within the monomer.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.
