Human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation R712L suppresses the working stroke of cardiac myosin and can be rescued by omecamtiv mecarbil

Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (HCMs) are the leading cause of acute cardiac failure in young individuals. Over 300 mutations throughout β-cardiac myosin, including in the motor domain, are associated with HCM. A β-cardiac myosin motor mutation (R712L) leads to a severe form of HCM. Actin-gliding motility of R712L-myosin is inhibited, despite near normal ATPase kinetics. By optical trapping, the working stroke of R...
