Key result
The interplay between cardiac troponin T N-terminal deletions and mutant alpha-tropomyosin (Tm H276N) altered crossbridge cycling, with Tm H276N slowing crossbridge detachment by 19%.
The interplay between the N terminus of cTnT and the overlapping ends of contiguous Tm effectuates different states of Tm on the actin filament, altering crossbridge cycling kinetics and thin-filament cooperativity.

No immediate clinical implications; extends mechanistic understanding of thin-filament mutations in animal models.
Mamidi et al. (2013) studied this question. The interplay between cardiac troponin T N-terminal deletions and mutant alpha-tropomyosin (Tm H276N) altered crossbridge cycling, with Tm H276N slowing crossbridge detachment by 19%.
