Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins including the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC). Two such FHC mutations, R58Q and N47K, located near the cationic binding site of the RLC, have been identified from population studies. To examine the molecular basis for the observed phenotypes, we exchanged endogenous RLC from native porcine cardiac myosin with recombinant...
