Characterization of the actomyosin binding interface
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Filamentous actin can exist in multiple conformations depending on the type of bound nucleotide and the isoform of actin. Accordingly, even closely related myosin and actin should show isoform-specific differences in their functional interactions. We tested this hypothesis for several human myosin isoforms. We characterized the extent to which actin filaments formed from α-actin, β-actin, and γ-actin display differences in their ability to activate the ATPase activity and support the motility of these myosins. We focused in particular on the interaction of human myosin isoforms that show much larger differences in their ability to productively interact with F-actin formed from β-actin and γ-actin than can be observed with fast skeletal muscle myosin-2 isoforms. Distinct functional interactions between the actin isoforms and nonsarcomeric myosins were revealed and the consequences of human alpha-cardiac actin mutations Y166C and M305L that lead to familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were characterized in detail. In addition to the elucidation of a wide range of functional changes, we determined structural features of human myosin isoforms and of the actomyosin binding interface in the presence of tropomyosin. Key results that were derived from our work on actomyosin are summarized in a review article. In this review article, we also discuss the potential of myosin as a drug target on the background of structural insights obtained in the context of FOR 629 and how these insights can be translated into drugs discriminating between myosin isoforms.
