Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C Mutations and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy : Haploinsufficiency, Deranged Phosphorylation, and Cardiomyocyte Dysfunction

TL;DR: The frameshift MYBPC3 mutations cause haploinsufficiency, deranged phosphorylation of contractile proteins, and reduced maximal force-generating capacity of cardiomyocytes, and the enhanced Ca2+ sensitivity in MYB PC3mut is due to hypophosphorylation in troponin I secondary to mutation-induced dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased phosphorylation levels of cardiac myosin-binding protein-C in human and experimental heart failure

TL;DR: Cardiac myosin-binding protein-C phosphorylation levels are markedly decreased in human and experimental heart failure, suggesting that the compromised contractile function of the failing heart might be in part attributable to reduced cMyBP-C phosphate levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ubiquitin-proteasome system in cardiac dysfunction.

TL;DR: This review mainly focuses on the ubiquitin-proteasome system and its various components in healthy and diseased heart, but also summarizes recent data suggesting parallel activation of the UPS and autophagy in cardiac disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay and Ubiquitin–Proteasome System Regulate Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C Mutant Levels in Cardiomyopathic Mice

TL;DR: An unanticipated complexity of the expression of a single point mutation in the whole animal is revealed and the involvement of both nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and the ubiquitin–proteasome system in lowering the level of mutant proteins is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C Is Required for Complete Relaxation in Intact Myocytes

TL;DR: It is shown that cMyBP-C functions as a restraint on myosin-actin interaction at low Ca2+ and short SL to allow complete relaxation during diastole, and this results in a defect in diastolic relaxation and a smaller dynamic range of cell shortening.
