Article Synopsis
  • Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) lack critical nanoscale structures called dyads that are vital for heart function, especially during heart failure.
  • The reduced expression of the protein cardiomyopathy-associated 5 (CMYA5) leads to disorganization of these dyads in heart failure and disrupts their assembly in hiPSC-CMs.
  • A miniaturized version of CMYA5 delivered via adeno-associated virus effectively improved the structure of dyads and normalized heart function under stress, enhancing calcium handling and contractile forces in hiPSC-CMs.

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the inheritance pattern and genetic cause of congenital radial hemimelia (RH) in cats.

Methods: Clinical and genetic analyses were conducted on a Siamese cat family (n = 18), including two siblings with RH. Radiographs were obtained for the affected kittens and echocardiograms of an affected kitten and sire.

Here we show that striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase α (Spegα) maintains cardiac function in hearts with Spegβ deficiency. Speg is required for stability of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) complexes and interacts with esterase D (Esd), Cardiomyopathy-Associated Protein 5 (Cmya5), and Fibronectin Type III and SPRY Domain Containing 2 (Fsd2) in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mice with a sequence encoding a V5/HA tag inserted into the first exon of the Speg gene (HA-Speg mice) display a >90% decrease in Spegβ but Spegα is expressed at ~50% of normal levels.

Four-and-a-half LIM domains protein 2 (FHL2) is an anti-hypertrophic adaptor protein that regulates cardiac myocyte signalling and function. Herein, we identified cardiomyopathy-associated 5 (CMYA5) as a novel FHL2 interaction partner in cardiac myocytes. In vitro pull-down assays demonstrated interaction between FHL2 and the N- and C-terminal regions of CMYA5.

The desmin-associated protein myospryn, encoded by the cardiomyopathy-associated gene 5 (CMYA5), is a TRIM-like protein associated to the BLOC-1 (Biogenesis of Lysosomes Related Organelles Complex 1) protein dysbindin. Human myospryn mutations are linked to both cardiomyopathy and schizophrenia; however, there is no evidence of a direct causative link of myospryn to these diseases. Therefore, we sought to unveil the role of myospryn in heart and brain.
