Abstract

Detailed residue-wise interactions involved in the binding of myosin to actin in the rigor conformation without nucleotides have been examined using molecular dynamics simulations of the chicken skeletal myosin head complexed with two actin monomers, based on the cryo-microscopic model of Holmes et al. (Nature 2003;425:423-427). The overall interaction is largely electrostatic in nature, because of the charged residues in the four loops surrounding the central primary binding site. The 50k/20k loop, disordered in crystal structures and in simulations of free myosin in solution, was found to be in a conformation stabilized with 1 - 2 internal salt bridges. The cardiomyopathy loop forms 2 - 3 interprotein salt bridges with actin monomers upon binding, whereas its Arg405 residue, the mutation site associated with the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, forms a strong salt bridge with Glu605 in the neighboring helix away from actin in the actin-bound myosin. The myopathy loop of the R405Q mutant maintains a high degree of two-strand beta-sheet character when bound to actin with the corresponding salt bridges broken.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
