Citation | Journal: iScience / Year: 2025Title: 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
