Thin-filament-based regulation of the contractile response is considered to involve the interaction of actin with troponin-I in striated muscle and the interaction of actin with caldesmon in smooth muscle. The nature of the interaction with actin of these inhibitory proteins has been studied by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy using segments of caldesmon and troponin-I which mimic their functional properties. Caldesmon is shown to interact with two distinct sites on the N-terminal residues 1-44 of actin subdomain 1 with corresponding contacts on caldesmon domain 3 and domain 4 at its C-terminus. We demonstrate that, whereas inhibition by the troponin-I fragment (residues 96-117) is effected by its interaction with the N-terminal region of actin, the separate inhibitory ability of different regions of the C-terminus of caldesmon (domains 4a and 4b) is mediated by interaction with noncontiguous segments on subdomain 1 of actin. Our studies of the spatial relationship of these actin contacts on caldesmon further suggest that one molecule of caldesmon may associate with two actin monomers. The demonstrated interactive nature of these caldesmon attachments to distinct regions of actin is relevant to the mechanism of calcium modulation of inhibition of actomyosin ATPase by caldesmon.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

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.
