RATIONALE: Impaired myocardial relaxation is an intractable feature of several heart failure (HF) causes. In human HF, detyrosinated microtubules stiffen cardiomyocytes and impair relaxation. Yet the identity of detyrosinating enzymes have remained ambiguous, hindering mechanistic study and therapeutic development. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine if the recently identified complex of VASH1/2 (vasohibin 1/2) and...
