ABSTRACT
Mutations in atrial-enriched genes can cause a primary atrial myopathy that can contribute to overall cardiovascular dysfunction. MYBPHL encodes myosin-binding protein H-like (MyBP-HL), an atrial sarcomere protein that shares domain homology with the carboxy-terminus of cardiac myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C). The function of MyBP-HL and the relationship between MyBP-HL and cMyBP-C is unknown. To decipher the roles of MyBP-HL, we used structured illumination microscopy, immuno-electron microscopy, and mass spectrometry to establish the localization and stoichiometry of MyBP-HL. We found levels of cMyBP-C, a major regulator of myosin function, were half as abundant compared to levels in the ventricle. In genetic mouse models, loss of MyBP-HL doubled cMyBP-C abundance in the atria, and loss of cMyBP-C doubled MyBP-HL abundance in the atria. Structured illumination microscopy showed that both proteins colocalize in the C-zone of the A-band, with MyBP-HL enriched closer to the M-line. Immuno-electron microscopy of mouse atria showed MyBP-HL strongly localized 161 nm from the M-line, consistent with localization to the third 43 nm repeat of myosin heads. Both cMyBP-C and MyBP-HL had less-defined sarcomere localization in the atria compared to ventricle, yet areas with the expected 43 nm repeat distance were observed for both proteins. Isometric force measurements taken from control and Mybphl null single atrial myofibrils revealed that loss of Mybphl accelerated the linear phase of relaxation. These findings support a mechanism where MyBP-HL regulates cMyBP-C abundance to alter the kinetics of sarcomere relaxation in atrial sarcomeres.
