Abstract excerpt
We examined the cardiomyopathy-causing tropomyosin mutations E180G, D175N, and V95A to determine their effects on actomyosin regulation. V95A reduced the ATPase rate when filaments were saturated with regulatory proteins both in the presence and absence of calcium, indicating either a stabilization of the inactive state or an inability to fully populate the active state. Effects of E180G and D175N were more...
