The primary structures of light chains isolated from the human myocardium with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) were determined and compared with the sequence structures of myosin light chains obtained from control human heart myosin. Sequences were determined by chemical analysis and the identity of N-terminal residues established by mass spectrometry. The N-terminal residues in essential (ELC) and regulatory (RLC) light chains were blocked and were identified to be trimethyl alanine. The amino acid sequences of ELC and RLC from control human myosin revealed a high degree of homology with those purified from rat and chicken cardiac myosin. Comparison with a published partial chemical sequence of the human heart myosin light chains revealed significant variations. However, there was very good agreement with published sequences obtained by molecular biological techniques. Sequences of the light chains from cardiomyopathic myosin revealed no difference in the primary structures when compared with control human heart myosin light chains indicating IDC had no influence on, nor was caused by, altered myosin light chain gene expression.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
