Actin filaments
F-actin
Globular actin
G-actin
__-actin are twisted, linear rows of the protein __-actin
F, G
The ____ ____ on actin bind to _____
active sites, myosin
other than actin, thin filaments are made up of
nebulin, tropomyosin, troponin
holds F-actin together
nebulin
Double strand protein that lies on top of actin strand. Prevents actin–myosin interaction
tropomyosin
globular protein binding tropomyosin to actin. Removes tropomyosin from actin when Ca2 binds.
troponin
Have titin substructure that recoils after stretching.
Contains hundreds of twisted myosin subunits.
thick filament
Tail that binds to other myosin molecules. Head made of two globular protein subunits that reach towards the nearest thin filament. Hinge connects head and tail.
Myosin
Myosin heads during contraction form _____-_____ with actin.
cross-bridges
Thin filaments of sarcomere slide toward M line, alongside thick filaments. Z lines move closer together and the width of A band stays the same. I band and H band gets smaller
