Some cardiomyopathy-causing troponin I mutations stabilize a functional intermediate actin state.
We examined four cardiomyopathy-causing mutations of troponin I that appear to disturb function by altering the distribution of thin filament states. The R193H (mouse) troponin I mutant had greater than normal actin-activated myosin-S1 ATPase activity in both the presence and absence of calcium. The rate of ATPase activity was the same as that of the wild-type at near-saturating concentrations ...
متن کاملFacilitated Cross-Bridge Interactions with Thin Filaments by Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutations in α-Tropomyosin
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is a disease of cardiac sarcomeres. To identify molecular mechanisms underlying FHC pathology, functional and structural differences in three FHC-related mutations in recombinant α-Tm (V95A, D175N, and E180G) were characterized using both conventional and modified in vitro motility assays and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Mutant Tm's exhibited reduc...
متن کاملSevere myopathy mutations modify the nanomechanics of desmin intermediate filaments.
Mutations in the intermediate filament (IF) protein desmin cause severe forms of myofibrillar myopathy characterized by partial aggregation of the extrasarcomeric desmin cytoskeleton and structural disorganization of myofibrils. In contrast to prior expectations, we showed that some of the known disease-causing mutations, such as DesA360P, DesQ389P and DesD399Y, are assembly-competent and do al...
متن کاملIntermediate filaments and disease: mutations that cripple cell strength
T HERE are nearly 50 different intermediate filament (IF) proteins of five major types (for reviews, see references 16, 23, and 59). Four of the IF types are cytoplasrnic, and they are expressed differentially in all tissues at various stages of embryonic and adult development. Type V IF proteins are the nuclear lamins, which form a fibrous meshwork on the inner surface of the nuclear membrane,...
متن کاملIntermediate filaments
Intermediate filaments form a class of insoluble cytoplasmic filaments ofdimensions intermediate in size between those of microtubules (about 25 nm in diameter) and microfilaments (about 7 nm in diameter). Thus, they are generally known as intermediate-sized filaments (IF)' or 10-nm filaments. They have been identified in virtually all differentiated types ofcells and it seems possible that IF-...
