Shannamar Dewey, Qian Xu, Susan Nguyen, Aldrin V. Gomes. Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) refers to a heterogeneous group of cardiac diseases linked to over 630 mutations in sarcomeric proteins. Analysis of the phenotype of the associated disease, the disease outcome, and the functional consequences of FHC mutations all indicate a complex process of pathogenesis that cannot be predicted solely by the localization of the mutation. However, mutations linked to HCM patients tend to increase the calcium sensitivity of contraction in skinned fiber and myosin ATPase experiments. Mutations linked to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), however, are commonly associated with a decrease in calcium sensitivity of contraction. These generalizations do not hold true for all FHC mutations. The process of myocardial contraction and relaxation also depends on complex protein-protein interactions within the sarcomeric unit. Altered myocardial contractility resulting from disturbed interaction profiles of sarcomeric proteins may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of FHC. A few studies that have investigated protein-protein interactions involving one protein with a cardiomyopathy-linked mutation show distinct disturbances associated with HCM as compared to DCM. In this study, we investigated the effects of several FHC linked mutations, including well-investigated mutations such as cardiac troponin T (cTnT) I79N, R278C and F110I using a mammalian two-hybrid system. The interaction between cTnT and alpha-tropomyosin (Tm) was significantly higher for the cTnT F110I than wild-type cTnT. A DCM mutation has previously been shown to increase the affinity of cTnT for Tm. cTnT I79N and R278C mutants show similar affinity for Tm as wild-type cTnT. These results suggest that some FHC and DCM mutations may show similar changes in cTnT-Tm interactions while other mutations may not affect cTnT-Tm interactions.
