项目摘要

A number of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) causing mutations have been identified in the regulatory proteins, tropomyosin (Tm) and troponin (Tn). Most of these mutations cause an increase in the Ca2+-sensitivity of muscle contraction, i.e. the onset of force occurs at lower Ca2+ concentrations. Neither the molecular mechanisms underlying the increased Ca2+-sensitivity nor its relation to the hypertrophy of the heart are well understood. Stretch activation is another cardiac phenomenon whose molecular mechanism is not understood. The long-range goal is to understand the molecular basis of FHC and stretch activation. The main hypothesis that we will test is that both of these activations involve strongly bound cross bridges (myosin heads). We plan to: 1. Determine the contribution of the myosin head-induced vs. Ca2+-induced changes in the interactions of troponin I (TnI) with actin-Tm and with troponin C (TnC) in thin filaments reconstituted with skeletal and cardiac muscle isoforms of the regulatory proteins. The main techniques will be solution ATPase and FRET measurements. 2. Determine effects of FHC mutations on occupancy of the 3 thin filament regulatory states using equilibrium titrations and transient kinetics. Fluorescent labels on selected proteins will be used to obtain equilibrium constants and rates. 3. Determine effects of selected FHC mutations in TnI and Tm on ATPase in terms of myosin vs. Ca2+ activation. FRET measurements will be used to obtain structural information. 4. Test the hypothesis that the C-terminal domain of TnC is involved in the myosin head induced activation of the thin filament. Mutants of TnC having increased affinity for Mg2+ will be used to assess the role of divalent cation in the C-domain of TnC on thin filament function. A novel mutant of TnC which reconstitutes into the thin filament and binds Ca2+ but does not activate ATPase that was developed in this lab will be used. These experiments will lead to a better understanding of the regulatory mechanism in cardiac and skeletal muscle. In particular, a better understanding of the relative contribution of the Ca2+/troponin-dependent and the myosin S1/actin-dependent activation of the thin filament will be obtained. By identifying the protein-protein interactions that are altered in the disease state it will be possible to suggest potential targets for drug design for FHC.

许多家族性肥厚心肌病（FHC）导致突变已发生在调节蛋白，肌动蛋白（TM）和肌钙蛋白（TN）中鉴定。其中大多数突变导致肌肉收缩的Ca2+ - 敏感性增加，即力的发作发生在较低的Ca2+浓度下。没有分子机制众所周知，Ca2+敏感性增加或与心脏肥大的关系。拉伸激活是另一种心脏现象，其分子机制不是理解。远程目标是了解FHC和拉伸的分子基础激活。我们将测试的主要假设是，这两种激活都涉及强烈绑定的十字架桥（肌球蛋白头）。我们计划： 1。确定肌球蛋白头引起的与Ca2+诱导的变化的贡献肌钙蛋白I（TNI）与肌动蛋白-TM以及薄丝中的肌钙蛋白C（TNC）的相互作用用调节蛋白的骨骼和心肌同工型重构。主技术将是解决方案ATPase和FRET测量。 2。确定FHC突变对3个细丝调节状态的占用率的影响使用平衡滴定和瞬态动力学。选定蛋白上的荧光标签将是用于获得平衡常数和速率。 3。根据肌球蛋白与Ca2+激活。 FRET测量将用于获取结构信息。 4。检验以下假设：TNC的C末端结构域参与肌球蛋白头诱导细丝的激活。 TNC的突变体对Mg2+的亲和力增加将为用于评估二价阳离子在TNC C域中的作用在细丝功能上。 TNC的一种新型突变体，将其重构为细丝并结合Ca2+，但可以将使用该实验室中开发的非激活ATPase。这些实验将导致更好地了解心脏和骨骼肌的调节机制。在特别是，更好地理解Ca2+/肌钙蛋白依赖性的相对贡献将获得薄丝肌球蛋白S1/肌动蛋白依赖性激活。通过识别疾病状态中改变的蛋白质蛋白质相互作用将有可能暗示 FHC药物设计的潜在目标。
