... volumes of 5M urea solution and then run on SDS ⁄ PAGE. Lanes a and d, in the absence of both TnC and Ca2+; lanes b and e, in the presence of TnC and the absence of Ca2+; lanes c and f, in the ... corresponding interaction in rabbitTnI–TnC in the absence of divalent cation. Therefore,this interaction potentially participates in both the Ca2+-dependent activation of the contraction and the maintenance ... site, from actin, resulting in the release of the inhibitionand muscle contraction [17]. The structural TnC-bind-ing site interacts with the C -domain of TnC in both the relaxed and contractile...
