The interaction of the myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) isoforms containing different alkali light chains A1 and A2 with F-actin has been studied using the stopped-flow technique and sedimentation in an analytical ultracentrifuge. The data obtained suggest a different mode of attachment of the S-1 isoforms to F-actin filaments.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression is often marked by early glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) dysfunction, including alterations in the fenestration size and number linked to impaired glomerular filtration. However, the cellular mechanisms regulating GEC fenestrations remain poorly understood due to limitations in existing models, challenges in imaging small fenestrations , and inconsistencies between and findings. This study used a logic-based protein-protein interaction network model with normalized Hill functions for dynamics to explore how glucose-mediated signaling dysregulation impacts fenestration dynamics in GECs.

Pressure overload induces pathological cardiac remodeling, including cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, resulting in cardiac dysfunction or heart failure. Recently, we observed that the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), has shown potential in enhancing cardiac function by mitigating cardiac fibrosis in a mouse model subjected to pressure overload. In this study, we investigated the role of LRP6 as a potential modulator of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a frequently encountered cardiac condition worldwide, often inherited, and characterized by intricate phenotypic and genetic manifestations. The natural progression of HCM is diverse, largely due to mutations in the contractile and relaxation proteins of the heart. These mutations disrupt the normal structure and functioning of the heart muscle, particularly affecting genes that encode proteins involved in the contraction and relaxation of cardiac muscle.

Budding yeast cells multiply by asymmetric cell division. During this process, the cell organelles are transported by myosin motors along the actin cytoskeleton into the growing bud, while at the same time some organelles must be retained in the mother cell. The ordered partitioning of organelles depends on highly regulated binding of motor proteins to cargo membranes.

The cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) regulates cross-bridge formation and controls the duration of systole and diastole at the whole heart level. As known, mutations in cMyBP-C increase the cross-bridge number and rate of their cycling, hypercontractility, and myocardial hypertrophy. We investigated the effects of the mutations D75N and P161S of cMyBP-C related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on the mechanism of force generation in isolated slow skeletal muscle fibers.
