Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is caused by missence mutations in beta-myosin heavy chain or other various sarcomeric proteins. To elucidate the functional impact of FHC mutations in myosin heavy chain, we generated Dictyostelium discoideum myosin II mutants equivalent to human FHC mutations by site-directed mutagenesis, and characterized their molecular-basis motor function. The current mutants, i.e....
