Overview of the Muscle Cytoskeleton.

TL;DR: In this review, the components of striated muscle are highlighted with respect to their interactions, signaling pathways, functions, and connections to disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leiomodin-3 dysfunction results in thin filament disorganization and nemaline myopathy

Michaela Yuen, +65 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mutations in the gene encoding L MOD3 underlie congenital myopathy and demonstrate that LMOD3 is essential for the organization of sarcomeric thin filaments in skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties of easily releasable myofilaments: are they the first step in myofibrillar protein turnover?

TL;DR: The present study shows that few ERMs could be obtained from the residue after the first removal of ERMs, and the yield of ER Ms from well-washed myofibrils was reduced, probably because some ERMs had been removed by the washing process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Residues within Tropomodulin-1 Responsible for Its Localization at the Pointed Ends of the Actin Filaments in Cardiac Myocytes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) fold and the C-terminal helix are necessary for the optimal localization of tropomodulin-1 at thin filament pointed ends, with site 2 acting as the major determinant.
