R453C impairs myosin kinetics in HCM models; leaves open links to human phenotypes and therapies.
Effect estimate: reduced by 35% (ATP binding); slowed 3-fold (ATP hydrolysis)
The R453C mutation in human β-cardiac myosin, associated with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, significantly impairs ATP binding and hydrolysis, likely by perturbing Switch-2 closure.
Bloemink et al. (2013) studied Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. R453C mutation in human β-cardiac myosin was evaluated on Biochemical kinetic parameters (ATP binding and hydrolysis) (reduced by 35% (ATP binding); slowed 3-fold (ATP hydrolysis)). The R453C mutation in human β-cardiac myosin reduced the rate constant for ATP binding by 35% and slowed the ATP hydrolysis step/recovery stroke 3-fold.
