Journal: iScience / Year: 2025 Title: The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-associated A331P actin variant enhances basal contractile activity and elicits resting muscle dysfunction.

The mutation is located along an actin surface strand, proximal to residues that interact with tropomyosin. These F-actin-tropomyosin associations are vital for proper contractile inhibition. To help resolve disease pathogenesis, we implemented a multidisciplinary approach. Transgenic , expressing A331P actin, displayed skeletal muscle hypercontraction and elevated basal myocardial activity. A331P thin filaments, reconstituted using recombinant human cardiac actin, exhibited higher myosin-based sliding speeds, exclusively at low Ca concentrations. Cryo-EM-based reconstructions revealed no detectable A331P-related structural perturbations in F-actin. , however, the P331-containing actin surface strand was less mobile and established diminished van der Waal's attractive forces with tropomyosin, which correlated with greater variability in inhibitory tropomyosin positioning. Such mutation-induced effects potentially elevate resting contractile activity among our models and may stimulate pathology in patients.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
