Question
Answer in terms of True (T) or False (F) and explain why:
a. Human Beta-cardiac myosin binds ADP more tightly when bound to actin than does alpha-cardiac myosin. ?(T/F)?
b. Myosin binding protein C is hypothesized to destabilize the OFF state of the thick- filament. (T/F)?
c. Myosin binding protein C desensitizes the thin-filament to calcium. (T/F)?
d. Phosphorylation of Myosin Binding Protein C by Protein Kinase A increases the probability that Myosin binding protein C will bind to Cardiac Myosin. (T/F)?
Explanation / Answer
a. True
Beta cardiac myosin binds more tightly than alpha cardiac myosin due to maximum activity.
b. True
off state- thick and on state-thin filament.
c. True
desensitizesthin filament.
d. True
binds to thick filaments of cardiac myosin.
