Data are means ± SE. Resting force was measured at pCa 9.0. Maximum force and the rate constant of force redevelopment (ktr) were measured at pCa 4.5. Minimum ktr was measured at ∼10% of maximum force. pCa50 and nH values were derived by fitting the force–pCa relationships to a Hill equation.

a

Significantly different from values recorded in cTnIAla5/cMyBP-C−/− skinned myocardial preparations (−cMyBP-C).

b

Significantly different from values recorded in cTnIAla5/cMyBP-C−/− skinned myocardial preparations reconstituted with purified cMyBP-C (+cMyBP-C).
