Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in alpha-tropomyosin can cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The effects of two of these, Asp175Asn and Glu180Gly, have been tested on the structure and function of recombinant human tropomyosin expressed in Escherichia coli. The F-actin affinity (measured by cosedimentation) of Glu180Gly was similar to that of wild-type, but Asp175Asn was more than 2-fold weaker, whether or not...
