The D75N and P161S Mutations in the C0-C2 Fragment of cMyBP-C Associated with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Disturb the Thin Filament Activation, Nucleotide Exchange in Myosin, and Actin-Myosin Interaction.

ABSTRACT: About half of the mutations that lead to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) occur in the MYBPC3 gene. However, the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity of point mutations in cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of the D75N and P161S substitutions in the C0 and C1 domains of cMyBP-C on the structural and functional properties of the C0-C1-m-C2 fragment (C0-C2). Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that these mutations disorder the tertiary structure of the C0-C2 molecule. Functionally, the D75N mutation reduced the maximum sliding velocity of regulated thin filaments in an in vitro motility assay, while the P161S mutation increased it. Both mutations significantly reduced the calcium sensitivity of the actin
