Human skeletal myopathy myosin mutations disrupt myosin head sequestration

Human skeletal myopathy myosin mutations disrupt myosin head sequestration

Myosin heavy chains encoded by MYH7 and MYH2 are abundant in human skeletal muscle and important for muscle contraction. However, it is unclear how mutations in these genes disrupt myosin structure and function leading to skeletal muscle myopathies termed myosinopathies. Here, we used multiple appro...
