Abstrakt: Pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a rare heart muscle disorder leading to the enlargement of all chambers and systolic dysfunction. We identified a novel de novo variant, c.88A>G (p.Lys30Glu, K30E), in the TPM1 gene encoding the major cardiac muscle tropomyosin (Tpm) isoform, Tpm1.1. The variant was found in a proband with DCM and left ventricular non-compaction who progressed to terminal heart failure at the age of 3 years and 8 months. To study the properties of the mutant protein, we produced recombinant K30E Tpm and used various biochemical and biophysical methods to compare its properties with those of WT Tpm. The K30E substitution decreased the thermal stability of Tpm and its complex with actin and significantly reduced the sliding velocity of the regulated thin filaments over a surface covered by ovine cardiac myosin in an in vitro motility assay across the entire physiological range of Ca2+ concentration. Our molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the charge reversal of the 30th residue of Tpm alters the actin monomer to which it is bound. We hypothesize that this rearrangement of the actin–Tpm interaction may hinder the transition of a myosin head attached to a nearby actin from a weakly to a strongly bound, force-generating state, thereby reducing myocardial contractility. The impaired myosin interaction with regulated actin filaments and the decreased thermal stability of the actin–Tpm complex at a near physiological temperature likely contribute to the pathogenicity of the variant and its causative role in progressive DCM.
