Biological function summary
Alpha-tropomyosin ensures the regulation of actin-myosin interactions during muscle contraction. It forms part of the troponin-tropomyosin complex which includes other key proteins such as troponin I T and C. This complex undergoes conformational changes in response to calcium ion concentrations allowing muscle contraction to occur. Alterations in this complex can significantly affect muscle function highlighting the central role of alpha-tropomyosin.
Pathways
Alpha-tropomyosin operates within the actin cytoskeleton regulatory pathway and the calcium signaling pathway. It is closely related to the troponin complex proteins facilitating muscle contraction in these pathways by controlling actin and myosin interactions. Calcium ions bind to troponin C causing structural changes that shift tropomyosin on the actin filament therefore enabling the binding of myosin heads to actin.

General info
Function
Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells (PubMed : 23170982). Plays a central role, in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction (PubMed : 23170982). Smooth muscle contraction is regulated by interaction with caldesmon. In non-muscle cells is implicated in stabilizing cytoskeleton actin filaments.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the tropomyosin family.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylated at Ser-283 by DAPK1 in response to oxidative stress and this phosphorylation enhances stress fiber formation in endothelial cells.
