The flexible interdomain linker and cardiac-isoform specific loop in the central C4 and C5 domains of cMyBPC play important roles in its functional regulation. These regions modulate the secondary structure and thermal stability of C4C5, and can adopt a completely bent or latched conformation, as demonstrated through extended molecular dynamics simulations and principle component analyses.The hinge-and-latch mechanism proposed in this study suggests that the linker and loop regions participate in dynamic modulation of cMyBPC's motion and global conformation.
Introduction: The central C4 and C5 domains (C4C5) of cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyBPC) contain a flexible interdomain linker and a cardiac-isoform specific loop. However, their importance in the functional regulation of cMyBPC has not been extensively studied. Methods and results: We expressed recombinant C4C5 proteins with deleted linker and loop regions and performed biophysical experiments to determine each of their structural and dynamic roles. We show that the linker and C5 loop regions modulate the secondary structure and thermal stability of C4C5. Furthermore, we provide evidence through extended molecular dynamics simulations and principle component analyses that C4C5 can adopt a completely bent or latched conformation. The simulation trajectory and interaction network analyses reveal that the completely bent conformation of C4C5 exhibits a specific pattern of residue-level interactions. Therefore, we propose a hinge-and-latch mechanism where the linker allows a great degree of flexibility and bending, while the loop aids in achieving a completely bent and latched conformation. Although this may be one of many bent positions that C4C5 can adopt, we illustrate for the first time in molecular detail that this type of large scale conformational change can occur in the central domains of cMyBPC. Conclusions: Our hinge-and-latch mechanism demonstrates that the linker and loop regions participate in dynamic modulation of cMyBPC's motion and global conformation. These structural and dynamic features may contribute to muscle isoform-specific regulation of actomyosin activity, and have potential implications regarding its ability to propagate or retract cMyBPC's regulatory N-terminal domains.
