Cardiac myosin missense mutations cause dilated cardiomyopathy in mouse models and depress molecular motor function

Abstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) leads to heart failure, a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Approximately 30% of DCM cases are genetic in origin, with some resulting from point mutations in cardiac myosin, the molecular motor of the heart. The effects of these mutations on myosin's molecular mechanics have not been determined. We have engineered two murine models characterizing the physiological, cellular, and molecular effects of DCM-causing missense mutations (S532P and F764L) in the ␣-cardiac m… Show more

“…Disrupted contractile performance of the diseased myocardium may result from alterations in the mutant myosin's ability to generate force and motion (Schmitt et al, 2006;Debold et al, 2007). Mouse models engineered with DCM-causing ␤-cardiac MHC mutations reproduced morphological and functional characteristics consistent with the human phenotype (Schmitt et al, 2006).…”

Mouse models engineered with DCM-causing ␤-cardiac MHC mutations reproduced morphological and functional characteristics consistent with the human phenotype (Schmitt et al, 2006). At the molecular level, the mutations depressed ATPase activities, in vitro actin filament sliding velocities, and/or maximal force generating capacity of myosin motors (Schmitt et al, 2006;Debold et al, 2007).…”
