Isoform Specificity of a Compound Targeting Actin Filaments Containing Tropomyosin Tpm1.8/1.9

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unbranched actin filaments in mammalian cells are usually composed of co‐polymers of a specific tropomyosin isoform with actin. Genetic manipulation has revealed that the tropomyosins largely define the functional properties of actin filaments in an isoform‐specific, non‐redundant manner.

Steric blocking upside down: a different way of thinking about the competition between myosin and tropomyosin

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics
At low free Ca2+, the actin binding proteins tropomyosin, troponin I, troponin T and troponin C inhibit contraction in striated muscles. Ca2+ activation alters the position of tropomyosin on actin to uncover binding sites for high affinity forms of ...

Structural Characteristics, Binding Partners and Related Diseases of the Calponin Homology (CH) Domain

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The calponin homology (CH) domain is one of the most common modules in various actin-binding proteins and is characterized by an α-helical fold. The CH domain plays important regulatory roles in both cytoskeletal dynamics and signaling.

Anaphylaxis after Shrimp Intake in a European Pediatric Population: Role of Molecular Diagnostics and Implications for Novel Foods

open access: yesChildren, 2023
(1) Background: Tropomyosin is a major cause of shellfish allergy and anaphylaxis triggered by food. It acts as a pan-allergen, inducing cross-reactivity in insects, dust mites, crustaceans, and mollusks.

Equilibrium self‐association of tropomyosin [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2012
It has recently been reported that tropomyosin exists exclusively as a dimer in physiological salt conditions. It is shown in the present work using analytical ultracentrifugation that, on the contrary, tropomyosin is in equilibrium between monomer, dimer and tetramer with a weak tendency to dimerize and tetramerize. Such a finding has consequences for

Insects as Food and Feed Source: A Comprehensive Review on Nutritional Value, Food Safety Concern, Environmental Benefits, Economic Potential, Technological Innovations, Challenges, and Future Prospects

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Edible insects offer a sustainable protein source, requiring fewer resources than traditional livestock. Despite challenges, they have the potential to enhance food security and sustainability for a growing global population. ABSTRACT As the world faces an escalating protein crisis amid climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, edible ...

Interaction of actin with dansyl‐tropomyosin [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1986
5‐[Dimethylamino]naphthalene‐1‐sulfonyl chloride (dansyl chloride) reacts with rabbit skeletal muscle tropomyosin (TM) to yield a highly fluorescent product, DNS‐TM. The extent of modification of TM can be regulated over a wide range, 0.3–15.5 dansyl groups per TM, depending upon the temperature and duration of the reaction.

Emerging Frontiers in Food Allergy Treatment: Progress, Challenges, and Prospects

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Food allergy is a rising global health concern with limited treatment options beyond allergen avoidance and emergency care. This review explores the evolving therapeutic landscape, highlighting advances in allergen immunotherapy, biologics such as monoclonal antibodies, and emerging vaccine‐based approaches.

Changing of expression actinbinding proteins in the kidney under dehydration

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2018
Actin is related to main structural proteins in eukaryotes. In opposite to muscle alpha-actin, beta-actin is expressing in all types of cells. The constant reorganization of actin cytoskeleton takes place in non-muscle cells.

Dynamics of tropomyosin in muscle fibers as monitored by saturation transfer EPR of bi-functional probe. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The dynamics of four regions of tropomyosin was assessed using saturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance in the muscle fiber. In order to fully immobilize the spin probe on the surface of tropomyosin, a bi-functional spin label was attached to ...
