Revised Manuscript Received August 17, 1994® abstract: We report here a model structure for 4Ca2+* troponin C-troponin I derived from small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering data using a Monte Carlo modeling method. In this model, troponin I appears as a spiral structure that wraps around 4Ca2+-troponin C which adopts an extended dumbbell conformation similar to that observed in the crystal structures of troponin C. The troponin I spiral has the approximate dimensions of an a-helix and winds through the hydrophobic “cups” in each globular domain of troponin C. The model is consistent with a body of previously published biochemical data on the interactions between troponin C and troponin I, and suggests the molecular mechanism for the Ca2+-sensitive switchthat regulates the muscle contraction/relaxation cycle involves a signal transmitted via the central spiral region of troponin I.In the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, interdigitating thick and thin filaments move past each other, resulting in contraction and relaxation. The thick filaments are composed of myosin, while the thin filaments are made from a helical assembly of actin monomers with tropomyosin polymerized head to tail in the grooves of the actin helix, and each tropomyosin bound to one troponin. The contractile force is thought to be generated when the myosin heads, SI, cyclically attach and detach from specific sites on the actin monomers, whereby a power stroke, driven by actin-Sl-myosin ATPase activity, occurs sometime during the attach-ment phase of the cycle. Troponin and tropomyosin form a Ca2+-sensitive switch which regulates the interactions between myosin and actin [reviewed by Lea vis and Gergely (1984) and Zot and Potter (1987)]. Troponin has three subunits: troponin C (TnC) 1which binds Ca2+, troponin I (Tnl) which inhibits the actin-Sl-myosin ATPase activity, and troponin T (TnT) which binds troponin to tropomyosin.
