Abstract excerpt
Myopalladin (MYPN) is a striated muscle-specific protein essential for sarcomere integrity and actin filament organization. The Ig3 domain of MYPN mediates direct binding and bundling of filamentous actin (F-actin), and several cardiomyopathy (CM)-associated mutations cluster within this domain. To elucidate the molecular basis of MYPN-actin interactions, we performed alanine-scanning mutagenesis of conserved...
