Direct visualization of myosin-binding protein C bridging myosin and actin filaments in intact muscle.
Myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C) is a thick filament protein playing an essential role in muscle contraction, and MyBP-C mutations cause heart and skeletal muscle disease in millions worldwide. Despite its discovery 40 y ago, the mechanism of MyBP-C function remains unknown. In vitro studies suggest that MyBP-C could regulate contraction in a unique way--by bridging thick and thin filaments--b...
متن کاملCardiac myosin binding protein C.
Myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C) is one of a group of myosin binding proteins that are present in the myofibrils of all striated muscle. The protein is found at 43-nm repeats along 7 to 9 transverse lines in a portion of the A band where crossbridges are found (C zone). MyBP-C contains myosin and titin binding sites at the C terminus of the molecule in all 3 of the isoforms (slow skeletal, fas...
متن کاملModulation of striated muscle contraction by binding of myosin binding protein C to actin
Myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C or C-protein) is a protein of the thick (myosin-containing) filaments of striated muscle thought to be involved in the modulation of cardiac contraction in response to β-adrenergic stimulation. The mechanism of this modulation is unknown, but one possibility is through transient binding of the N-terminal end of MyBP-C to the thin (actin-containing) filaments. Wh...
متن کاملSignaling and myosin-binding protein C.
Myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C) is a thick filament protein consisting of 1274 amino acid residues (149 kDa) that was identified by Starr and Offer over 30 years ago as a contaminant present in a preparation of purified myosin. Since then, numerous studies have defined the muscle-specific isoforms, the structure, and the importance of the proteins in normal striated muscle structure and funct...
متن کاملMyosin binding protein C in the heart.
Myocardial force generation is initiated on the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and subsequent activation of the contractile apparatus.1 A schematic of the cardiac sarcomere and some of its component proteins is shown in the Figure.2 Contractile activation involves binding calcium to Tn-C, redistribution of the affinity of Tn-I for Tn-C away from Tn-T, and movement of tr...
