Abstract

Background: A mutation found in titin has been linked to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC). Results: The mutation increases Ig10 instability and susceptibility to degradation. Conclusion: The mutation compromises the local structure of Ig10 and has a significant effect on Ig10 unfolding dynamics. Significance: Titin is the first sarcomeric protein to be implicated in AC pathology; a novel titin-based disease mechanism is suggested.
