Stretching Single Domain Proteins: Phase Diagram and Kinetics of Force-Induced Unfolding

open access: yes, 1999
Single molecule force spectroscopy reveals unfolding of domains in titin upon stretching. We provide a theoretical framework for these experiments by computing the phase diagrams for force-induced unfolding of single domain proteins using lattice models.

Increased expression of titin in mouse gastrocnemiusmuscle in response to an endurance-training program

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Titin, a sarcomeric giant protein, plays crucial roles in muscle assembly, elasticity and stability. Little is known about titin adaptation to endurance exercise.

Attenuated titin protein expression is associated with advanced stages of ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Oncology
This study explores the role of titin, a giant muscle protein, in the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We examined titin levels in tissues and sera from EOC patients across stages I–IV and in chemoresistant EOC cells.

Stretching of Proteins in the Entropic Limit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Mechanical stretching of six proteins is studied through molecular dynamics simulations. The model is Go-like, with Lennard-Jones interactions at native contacts.

Sudden cardiac death in young athletes: Literature review of molecular basis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Intense athletic training and competition can rarely result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the introduction of pre-participation cardiovascular screening, especially among young competitive athletes, sport-related SCD remains a debated issue ...

Maintenance of sarcomeric integrity in adult muscle cells crucially depends on Z-disc anchored titin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The giant protein titin is thought to be required for sarcomeric integrity in mature myocytes, but direct evidence for this hypothesis is limited.

Titin N2A Domain and Its Interactions at the Sarcomere

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Titin is a giant protein in the sarcomere that plays an essential role in muscle contraction with actin and myosin filaments. However, its utility goes beyond mechanical functions, extending to versatile and complex roles in sarcomere organization and ...

An Ising-Like model for protein mechanical unfolding

open access: yes, 2007
The mechanical unfolding of proteins is investigated by extending the Wako-Saito-Munoz-Eaton model, a simplified protein model with binary degrees of freedom, which has proved successful in describing the kinetics of protein folding.

Lower Limb Radiology of Distal Myopathy due to the S60F Myotilin Mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Distal myopathies are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of disorders in which the distal limb musculature is selectively or disproportionately affected.

Genomics-First Evaluation of Heart Disease Associated With Titin-Truncating Variants.

open access: yesCirculation, 2019
Truncating variants in the Titin gene (TTNtvs) are common in individuals with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, a comprehensive genomics-first evaluation of the impact of TTNtvs in different clinical contexts, and the evaluation of ...
