Tropomyosin (Tpm) mutations cause inherited cardiac diseases such as hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies. We applied various approaches to investigate the role of cardiac troponin (Tn) and especially the troponin T (TnT) in the pathogenic effects of Tpm cardiomyopathy-associated mutations M8R, K15N, A277V, M281T, and I284V located in the overlap junction of neighboring Tpm dimers. Using co-sedimentation assay and viscosity measurements, we showed that TnT1 (fragment of TnT) stabilizes the overlap junction of Tpm WT and all Tpm mutants studied except Tpm M8R. However, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) indicated that TnT1 binds Tpm WT and all Tpm mutants similarly. By using ITC, we measured the direct KD of the Tpm overlap region, N-end, and C-end binding to TnT1. The ITC data revealed that the Tpm C-end binds to TnT1 independently from the N-end, while N-end does not bind. Therefore, we suppose that Tpm M8R binds to TnT1 without forming the overlap junction. We also demonstrated the possible role of Tn isoform composition in the cardiomyopathy development caused by M8R mutation. TnT1 dose-dependently reduced the velocity of F-actin-Tpm filaments containing Tpm WT, Tpm A277V, and Tpm M281T mutants in an in vitro motility assay. All mutations impaired the calcium regulation of the actin-myosin interaction. The M281T and I284V mutations increased the calcium sensitivity, while the K15N and A277V mutations reduced it. The Tpm M8R, M281T, and I284V mutations under-inhibited the velocity at low calcium concentrations. Our results demonstrate that Tpm mutations likely implement their pathogenic effects through Tpm interaction with Tn, cardiac myosin, or other protein partners.
