Abstract

Background: Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) regulates heart muscle contraction by influencing actomyosin interactions. Results: Amino acids within the tri-helix bundle of the M-domain contribute to the functional effects of cMyBP-C. Conclusion: Amino acids outside of phosphorylation sites influence function of the M-domain. Significance: The tri-helix bundle is important to the regulatory role of cMyBP-C, likely through actin-binding interactions.
