Post-translational modifications of vertebrate striated muscle myosin heavy chains.

Article Synopsis
- Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for the regulation of sarcomeric proteins, particularly myosins, which are key for muscle contraction and cell motility.
- Myosin consists of two heavy chains and two pairs of light chains, with specific regions prone to PTMs that can influence their function.
- Dysregulation of these PTMs can lead to muscle dysfunction and contribute to diseases like myopathies and cardiovascular disorders, making their study important for understanding muscle physiology.
