【Significance】
Tropomyosin's HCM mutants modulate in vitro sliding mechanism of actomyosin

In vitro motility assay was used to examine regulatory functions of thin filaments that contain tropomyosin mutants V95A or D175N, which are known to cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in humans. The sliding velocity during relaxation was significantly increased in these mutants compared to wild type (WT) tropomyosin. Ca2+-activatable sliding force decreased in V95A and increased in D175N. The duty ratio determined at the steady state of force generation at saturating [Ca2+] decreased in V95A and increased in D175N. We conclude that HCM mutants of tropomyosin differently modulate molecular processes of the actomyosin interaction.
