title: Removal of tropomyosin overlap and the co-operative response to increasing calcium concentrations of the acto-subfragment-1 ATPase.
abstract: The co-operative response of regulated actomyosin ATPase to increasing concentrations of calcium has been attributed to nearest-neighbor interactions, presumably between troponin-tropomyosin complexes. The degree of co-operativity was not decreased after the carboxy-terminal 11 amino acid residues had been removed from tropomyosin by carboxypeptidase A. This indicates that the interactions between neighboring troponin-tropomyosin complexes do not occur through the overlapping tropomyosin ends.
