Functional Differences between the N-Terminal Domains of Mouse and Human Myosin Binding Protein-C

Figure 4

Effects of mouse and human C0, P/A, and C1 domains on thin filament activated myosin S1 ATPase assays at pCa 10 in the absence of myosin S2. 1  𝜇 M mC0C1 had no effect on ATPase activity ( 𝑛 = 9), whereas 1  𝜇 M hC0C1 increased ATPase activity ( 𝑛 = 9). The human P/A and C1 domains each activated ATPase activity (mhmC0C1 ( 𝑛 = 7) and mmhC0C1 ( 𝑛 = 5), resp.) to intermediate values. The mouse P/A and C1 domains (hmhC0C1, ( 𝑛 = 5) and hhmC0C1, ( 𝑛 = 6), resp.) depressed ATPase activity when compared to hC0C1. The human C0 domain (hmmC0C1, 𝑛 = 6) had no activating effects on actin-activated S1 ATPase activity, while the mouse C0 domain (mhhC0C1, 𝑛 = 4) did not affect activity when compared to hC0C1. Data are mean ± SD. Asterisks (*) and crosses (†) denote significant differences when compared to mC0C1 and hC0C1, respectively, ( 𝑃 < . 0 5 ).
