Abstract

Myosin binding protein-C (MyBP-C) is a poorly understood component of the thick filament in striated muscle sarcomeres. Its C terminus binds tightly to myosin, whereas the N terminus contains binding sites for myosin S2 and possibly for the thin filament. To study the role of the N-terminal domains of cardiac MyBP-C (cMyBP-C), we added human N-terminal peptide fragments to human and rodent skinned ventricular myocytes. At concentrations >10 micromol/L, the N-terminal C0C2 peptide activated force production in the absence of calcium (pCa 9). Force at the optimal concentration (80 micromol/L) of C0C2 was approximately 60% of that in maximal Ca2+ (pCa 4.5), but the rate constant of tension redevelopment (ktr) matched or exceeded (by up to 80%) that produced by Ca2+ alone. Experiments using different N-terminal peptides suggested that this activating effect of C0C2 resulted from binding by the pro/ala-rich C0-C1 linker region, rather than the terminal C0 domain. At a lower concentration (1 micromol/L), exogenous C0C2 strongly sensitized cardiac myofibrils to Ca2+ at a sarcomere length (SL) of 1.9 microm but had no significant effect at SL 2.3 microm. This differential effect caused the normal SL dependence of myofibrillar Ca2+ sens...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
