Troponin-Tropomyosin Control of Thin Filament Activity Revealed by Electron Microscopy and 3-D Reconstruction.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Muscle contraction and the actomyosin ATPase that drives the contractile process are switched on and off by changes in sarcoplasmic free Ca2+ -concentration. In skeletal and cardiac muscles, on-off switching is mediated by the actinassociated protein tropomyosin and by the troponin complex. While the details of this mechanism are still subject to debate, it is well-accepted that tropomyosin strands move to sterically block and unblock myosin binding sites on actin, thereby controlling actomyosin ATPase and consequently contraction. It is also well known that the Ca2+- dependency of the movement of tropomyosin on actin is governed by troponin. As a means of studying tropomyosin movement and the influence of troponin, we have used cryo-EM, negative staining and 3-dimensional helical reconstruction to define the positions of tropomyosin and troponin on thin filaments. We examined various preparations of native isolated filaments and filaments reconstituted with wild-type and mutant proteins.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
