The study demonstrates that the DFRXXL motifs and N-terminal extension of long MLCK are responsible for its high-affinity binding to actin filaments and stress fibers.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MLCK isoform affinity differences are hypothesis-generating for cytoskeletal regulation; leaves open functional roles in cardiac models pending further validation.
Smith et al. (2002) studied this question.
