Myosin-binding protein C regulates the sarcomere lattice and stabilizes the OFF states of myosin heads by Anthony L. Hessel, Nichlas M. Engels, Michel N. Kuehn, Devin Nissen, Rachel L. Sadler, Weikang Ma, Thomas C. Irving, Wolfgang A. Linke, Samantha P. Harris

“…Abstract Muscle contraction is produced via the interaction of myofilaments and is regulated so that muscle performance matches demand. Myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C) is a long and flexible protein that is tightly bound to the thick filament at its C-terminal end (MyBP-CC8C10), but may be loosely bound at its middle- and N-terminal end (MyBP-CC1C7) to myosin heads and/or the thin filament. …”
