Changing the IgE Binding Capacity of Tropomyosin in Shrimp through Structural Modification Induced by Cold Plasma and Glycation Treatment [PDF]

Foods, 2023
Tropomyosin (TM) is the major allergen of shrimp (Penaeus chinensis). Previous studies showed that separate cold plasma or glycation have their drawback in reducing allergenicity of TM, including effectiveness and reliability. In the current study, a new

Tropomyosin-based cross-reactivity and asymptomatic shellfish sensitization in patients with perennial allergy [PDF]

Frontiers in Allergy
BackgroundMite, cockroach, and shellfish (crab, clam, and shrimp) proteins share allergenic epitopes. The determination of specific IgE (sIgE) against cockroach (Blattella germanica, relevant in asthma) and shellfish allergens (relevant in food allergy ...

Mutual dependence between tropomodulin and tropomyosin in the regulation of sarcomeric actin assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans striated muscle

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2022
Tropomodulin and tropomyosin are important components of sarcomeric thin filaments in striated muscles. Tropomyosin decorates the side of actin filaments and enhances tropomodulin capping at the pointed ends of the filaments.

Alternative splicing of a single exon causes a major impact on the affinity of Caenorhabditis elegans tropomyosin isoforms for actin filaments

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Tropomyosin is generally known as an actin-binding protein that regulates actomyosin interaction and actin filament stability. In metazoans, multiple tropomyosin isoforms are expressed, and some of them are involved in generating subpopulations of actin ...

Distinct actin–tropomyosin cofilament populations drive the functional diversification of cytoskeletal myosin motor complexes

iScience, 2022
Summary: The effects of N-terminal acetylation of the high molecular weight tropomyosin isoforms Tpm1.6 and Tpm2.1 and the low molecular weight isoforms Tpm1.12, Tpm3.1, and Tpm4.2 on the actin affinity and the thermal stability of actin-tropomyosin ...

Mutations changing tropomodulin affinity for tropomyosin alter neurite formation and extension [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
Assembly of the actin cytoskeleton is an important part of formation of neurites in developing neurons. Tropomodulin, a tropomyosin-dependent capping protein for the pointed end of the actin filament, is one of the key players in this process ...

Anomalous relaxation kinetics of biological lattice-ligand binding models [PDF]

, 2002
We discuss theoretical models for the cooperative binding dynamics of ligands to substrates, such as dimeric motor proteins to microtubules or more extended macromolecules like tropomyosin to actin filaments.

The role of cardiac troponin T quantity and function in cardiac development and dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Hypertrophic (HCM) and dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathies results from sarcomeric protein mutations, including cardiac troponin T (cTnT, TNNT2).
