Ansari S, Alahyan M, Marston S, El-Mezgueldi M
J Biol Chem . 2007 Oct; 283(1):47-56. PMID: 17933868
Smooth muscle thin filaments are made up of actin, tropomyosin, caldesmon, and a Ca(2+)-binding protein and their interaction with myosin is Ca(2+)-regulated. We suggested that Ca(2+) regulation by caldesmon and...

Mirza M, Robinson P, Kremneva E, Copeland O, Nikolaeva O, Watkins H, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2007 Mar; 282(18):13487-97. PMID: 17360712
E40K and E54K mutations in alpha-tropomyosin cause inherited dilated cardiomyopathy. Previously we showed, using Ala-Ser alpha-tropomyosin (AS-alpha-Tm) expressed in Escherichia coli, that both mutations decrease Ca(2+) sensitivity. E40K also reduces...

Alahyan M, Webb M, Marston S, El-Mezgueldi M
J Biol Chem . 2006 Mar; 281(28):19433-48. PMID: 16540476
Caldesmon is a component of smooth muscle thin filaments that inhibits the actomyosin ATPase via its interaction with actin-tropomyosin. We have performed a comprehensive transient kinetic characterization of the actomyosin...

Ansari S, El-Mezgueldi M, Marston S
J Muscle Res Cell Motil . 2004 Feb; 24(8):513-20. PMID: 14870966
We measured the inhibition of actin activated myosin subfragment-1 MgATPase activity in a solution containing no added KCl (5 mM PIPES.K2 (pH 7.1), 2.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 1...

Patchell V, Vorotnikov A, Gao Y, Low D, Evans J, Fattoum A, et al.
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2002 May; 1596(1):121-30. PMID: 11983427
Caldesmon is an inhibitory protein believed to be involved in the regulation of thin filament activity in smooth muscles and is a major cytoplasmic substrate for MAP kinase. NMR spectroscopy...
