In-frame deletion mutations can result in disease. The impact of these mutations on protein structure and subsequent functional changes remain understudied, partially due to the lack of comprehensive datasets including a structural readout. In addition, the recent breakthrough in structure prediction through deep learning demands an update of computational deletion mutation prediction.

Article Synopsis
  • cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1α (PKG1α) supports heart function in response to pressure overload, but its activation often leads to hypotension, which limits its therapeutic use in heart failure.* -
  • The study found that mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) interacts with PKG1α and is crucial for maintaining left ventricle (LV) function without affecting blood pressure (BP), even in conditions of heart failure.* -
  • Results indicate that enhancing MLK3 activity could help improve heart function in heart failure patients while preventing the drop in blood pressure typically associated with PKG1α activation.*
