Abstract:Cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) is an important regulator of sarcomeric function. Although reduced phosphorylation of cMyBP-C has been linked to compromised contractility in heart failure patients, direct modulation of cMyBP-C to myosin using small molecules or peptides has not been reported to improve cardiac performance. Here we used previously published cMyBP-C peptides 302A and 302S (surrogates to the regulatory phosphorylation site serine 302) as tool molecules to investigate the role of cMyBP-… Show more
