Synthetic thick filaments: A new avenue for better understanding the myosin super-relaxed state in healthy, diseased, and mavacamten-treated cardiac systems

Sampath K. Gollapudi et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that myosin in STFs can mimic the electrostatic and cooperative interactions underlying the energy-sparing SRX state, providing insights into pathophysiological insults and drug interventions. STFs serve as a valuable tool in understanding myosin SRX state in different conditions.

Relaxed tarantula tarantula skeletal muscle has two ATP energy-saving mechanisms

Weikang Ma et al.

Summary: This study explores the effect of temperature on the blocked heads (BHs) and free heads (FHs) in tarantula skeletal muscle, revealing that their behavior changes with temperature variations. BHs remain ordered at low temperatures while FHs become disordered, with a different behavior observed at higher temperatures. These results suggest a thermosensing mechanism in tarantula skeletal muscle, showcasing energy-saving mechanisms at different temperature ranges, similar to that proposed in mammals.

Mavacamten has a differential impact on force generation in myofibrils from rabbit psoas and human cardiac muscle

Beatrice Scellini et al.

Summary: Mavacamten has a negative effect on force generation in human ventricular myofibrils by reducing the number of heads available for interaction with actin. It also affects the kinetics of force development in fast skeletal myofibrils. Additionally, it alters the relaxation of human ventricular myofibrils and inhibits ADP-stimulated force in the absence of Ca2+.

Stress-dependent activation of myosin in the heart requires thin filament activation and thick filament mechanosensing

So-Jin Park-Holohan et al.

Summary: The regulation of myosin activity in heart muscle involves the modulation of myosin motors available for interaction with thin filaments. Stretch or increased RLC phosphorylation do not have a direct effect on the activation of folded myosin motors at physiological conditions, but can lead to delayed activation and increased force production at higher calcium concentrations. This suggests a calcium-dependent interfilament signaling pathway involving thin filament sensitization and thick filament mechanosensing in the increased contractility induced by RLC phosphorylation and stretch in the heart.

Cardiomyopathic mutations in essential light chain reveal mechanisms regulating the super relaxed state of myosin

Yoel H. Sitbon et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the super relaxed state of myosin and sarcomeric protein phosphorylation in two pathological models of cardiomyopathy and a near-physiological model of cardiac hypertrophy. The mutations in the cardiomyopathy models had antagonistic effects on the myosin energetic states, leading to changes in RLC phosphorylation levels. The N-terminus of ELC was suggested to act as an energetic switch promoting the transition between SRX and DRX states, affecting myosin RLC phosphorylation.
