Figure 5.
Figure 5: A schematic representation of the interactions between troponin and other thin filament components. The potential actin-tropomyosin-binding portions, which are not included in the current structural model, are schematically drawn: TnT1 and C-TnT are yellow ellipsoids, and the inhibitory region (IR) and the C terminus of TnI (C-TnI) are blue ellipsoids. The actin and the tropomyosin strands are in green and brown, respectively. The black arrows indicate the interactions between troponin and tropomyosin-actin.
