Abstract excerpt
In the heart, mutations in the TPM1 gene encoding the α-isoform of tropomyosin lead, in particular, to the development of hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies. We compared the effects of hypertrophic, D175N and E180G, and dilated, E40K and E54K, cardiomyopathy mutations in TPM1 gene on the properties of single actin-myosin interactions and the characteristics of the calcium regulation in an ensemble of...
