Tropomyosin (Tm), an alpha-helical coiled-coil protein, is a key regulatory protein in muscle contraction. Little is known about the role of Tm dynamics in muscle regulation and more specifically dynamics in the three states of the thin filament. In this work, the flexibility of four different regions of Tm was determined with Saturation Transfer Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (STEPR). The use of bi-functional labels allowed us to immobilize the probe and prevent the motion of the label with respect to protein surface. The rotational correlation time of the bi-functional spin label on Tm was 40 ns compared to 25 ns for a conventional mono-dentate spin label. The spin label was attached to i, iþ4 positions of the coiled-coil, obtained by cysteine mutagenesis. The bi-functionally labeled Tm di-mutants were reconstituted into ‘‘ghost muscle fibers’’from which the myosin filaments and intrinsic regulatory proteins (tropomyosin, troponin) were removed. The filaments were reconsituted with Tn and decorated with myosin S1. We found that there is a gradient of flexibility of Tm along its length in the muscle fiber with the C-terminus mutant A268C/E272C being less mobile (two-fold), as compared to the rest of the mutants. Introduction of troponin decreases the flexibility of the four mutants, specifically the two mid-region mutants H153C/D157C and G188C/E192C by 25% and 30% respectively. The addition of calcium did show a decrease in the flexibility of the C terminus mutant A268C/E272C by 20%. The effect of calcium addition on the two other mutants and the effect of addition of S1 on the four mutants were not significant. Thus, although there is a gradient of flexibility in Tm, its dynamics does not change within different states of thin filament activation.1820-Pos Comparison of the Conformational Stabilities of Striated Alpha-Tropomyosins Adapted to Different Temperature Regimes David H. Heeley, Michael Hayley, Tatiana Chevaldina. Memorial Univeristy, St. John’s, NL, Canada. The conformational stabilities of alpha-striated tropomyosins from warm and cold blooded sources have been compared using circular dichroism (CD) and differential scanning calorimetry. Alpha-tropomyosins from rabbit and shark share 95% sequence identity. There are three replacements in the core: residues Thr179Ala, Ser190Cys and Ser211Ala. At low temperature (pH 7) the two tropomyosins are equivalent in molar ellipticity at 222nm, however, shark
