- H zone
A relatively pale zone traversing the center of the A band of a sarcomere, visible in relaxed muscle fibers; consists of the central portion of thick (myosin) filaments that are not overlapped by thin (actin) filaments.
- obsolete ALP binding
OBSOLETE. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ALP, actinin-associated LIM protein of the Z band. ALP is a PDZ/LIM domain protein found in the Z band.
- protein localization to M-band
Any process in which a protein is transported to, and/or maintained in, the M band. The M band is the midline of aligned thick filaments in a sarcomere.
- obsolete ZASP binding
OBSOLETE. Binding to Z-band alternatively spliced PDZ motif protein (ZASP). ZASP is a Z-band protein specifically expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. This protein contains N-terminal PDZ domain and C-terminal LIM domain.
- equatorial microtubule organizing center
A microtubule organizing center formed by a band of gamma-tubulin that is recruited to a circumferential band of F-actin at the midpoint of a cell and which nucleates microtubules from the cell division site at the end of mitosis.
- polytene chromosome band
A stretch of densely packed chromatin along the polytene chromosome, visible as a morphologically distinct band.
- preprophase band assembly
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form the preprophase band, a dense band of microtubules that marks the position in the cell where cytokinesis will occur in cells that perform cytokinesis by cell plate formation.
