Key result
The troponin complex is assembled on the muscle thin filament through specific structural interactions between the C-domain of TnC and N-domain of TnI, the N-domain of TnI and C-terminal of TnT, and the N-domain of TnT and actin/tropomyosin.

Extends domain mapping of troponin assembly in animal skeletal muscle; leaves open translation to human cardiac regulation or disease.
The study maps the specific structural domains of troponin subunits responsible for the stable assembly of the regulatory complex on the muscle thin filament, independent of calcium binding.
Reinach et al. (1997) studied Skeletal muscle contraction. Deletion mutants of TnC, TnI, and TnT was evaluated. The troponin complex is assembled on the muscle thin filament through specific structural interactions between the C-domain of TnC and N-domain of TnI, the N-domain of TnI and C-terminal of TnT, and the N-domain of TnT and actin/tropomyosin.
