The calcium‐induced switch in the troponin complex probed by fluorescent mutants of troponin I [PDF]
The Ca2+‐induced transition in the troponin complex (Tn) regulates vertebrate striated muscle contraction. Tn was reconstituted with recombinant forms of troponin I (TnI) containing a single intrinsic 5‐hydroxytryptophan (5HW). Fluorescence analysis of these mutants of TnI demonstrate that the regions in TnI that respond to Ca2+ binding to the ...

Computational Studies of Cardiac and Skeletal Troponin
Troponin is a key regulatory protein in muscle contraction, consisting of three subunits troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). Calcium association to TnC initiates contraction by causing a series of dynamic and conformational changes ...

Troponin release following endurance exercise: is inflammation the cause? a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study [PDF]
Background: The aetiology and clinical significance of troponin release following endurance exercise is unclear but may be due to transient myocardial inflammation.

Cardiac troponins in intensive care [PDF]
The cardiac troponins are integral components of the myofibrillary apparatus and they regulate muscle contraction. The measurement of cardiac troponins has replaced other biomarkers for the specific detection of myocardial necrosis and for the diagnosis ...

ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease requiring reliable biomarkers to improve patient stratification and trial design. While serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) reflects neuroaxonal stress and disease aggressiveness, troponin T (TnT) may capture complementary aspects of ...

The Lupus Damage Index Revision Program: Results From the Item Generation and Reduction Phases
Objective A data‐driven and expert/patient consensus‐based project to develop a revised Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Damage Index (SDI) is under way supported by SLICC, ACR, and the Lupus Foundation of America. Our objective is to report the item generation and reduction phase results

A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

The Solution Structure of a Cardiac Troponin C−Troponin I−Troponin T Complex Shows a Somewhat Compact Troponin C Interacting with an Extended Troponin I−Troponin T Component [PDF]
We have investigated the structure of the cTnC-cTnI-cTnT(198-298) calcium-saturated, ternary cardiac troponin complex by small-angle scattering with contrast variation. Shape restoration was also applied to the scattering information resulting from the deuterated cTnC subunit, the unlabeled cTnI-cTnT(198-298) subunits, and the entire complex.
