The E117K mutation in β-tropomyosin disturbs concerted conformational changes of actomyosin in muscle fibers.

The effect of the skeletal myopathy-causing E117K mutation in human β-tropomyosin on actomyosin structure during the ATPase cycle was studied using fluorescent probes bound to actin subdomain 1 and the myosin head. Multistep changes in flexural rigidity of actin filament and in spatial arrangement o...
