abstract：:Rigor complexes between actin and myosin have been shown to cause increased binding of Ca2+ to troponin C. A similar effect of force-generating crossbridges has been suggested as an explanation for the coupling between load and activation which has been observed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The goal of this study w...

abstract：:Filamin binds to F-actin and influences the myosin-actin interaction. At relatively low concentrations, filamin activates actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase, whereas higher concentrations of filamin exert an inhibitory effect. Activation of ATPase activity occurs under conditions where a loose meshwork of actin filaments is prese...
