The myosin filaments of striated muscle contain a family of enigmatic myosin-binding proteins (MyBP), MyBP-C and MyBP-H. These modular proteins of the intracellular immunoglobulin superfamily contain unique domains near their N termini. The N-terminal domain of cardiac MyBP-C, the MyBP-C motif, contains additional phosphorylation sites and may regulate contraction in a phosphorylation dependent way. In contrast to the C terminus, which binds to the light meromyosin portion of the myosin rod, the interactions of this domain are unknown. We demonstrate that fragments of MyBP-C containing the MyBP-C motif localise to the sarcomeric A-band in cardiomyocytes and isolated myofibrils, without affecting sarcomere structure. The binding site for the MyBP-C motif resides in the N-terminal 126 residues of the S2 segment of the myosin rod. In this region, several mutations in beta-myosin are associated with FHC; however, their molecular implications remained unclear. We show that two representative FHC mutations in beta-myosin S2, R870H and E924K, drastically reduce MyBP-C binding (K(d) approximate to 60 mu M for R870H compared with a K(d) of approximate to 5 mu M for the wild-type) down to undetectable levels (E924K). These mutations do not affect the coiled-coil structure of myosin. We suggest that the regulatory function of MyBP-C is mediated by the interaction with S2, and that mutations in beta-myosin S2 may act by altering the interactions with MyBP-C.
