“…7) suggests that the actin binding face (site 1) and the β-tentacle (site 2) cooperate to regulate CapZ docking to the actin filament. This model is based on the new results, other investigations (Kim et al, 2007; Kuhn and Pollard, 2007; Smith et al, 2006), and our prior work (Hartman et al, 2009; Li and Russell, 2013; Lin et al, 2013, 2015, 2016; Li et al, 2014, 2016; Mkrtschjan et al, 2018). We propose the tight binding is loosened in growth states of hypertrophy triggered by stimuli such as mechanical flexing, loading, stiffer substrate, angiotensin II, and phenylephrine.…”
