Abstract excerpt
We examined four cardiomyopathy-causing mutations of troponin I that appear to disturb function by altering the distribution of thin filament states. The R193H (mouse) troponin I mutant had greater than normal actin-activated myosin-S1 ATPase activity in both the presence and absence of calcium. The rate of ATPase activity was the same as that of the wild-type at near-saturating concentrations of the activator,...
