Abstract

The method of myocardial myofibril reconstruction from structural (actomyosln) and regulatory (tropomyosin and troponin) proteins has been used. The influence of the regulatory proteins purified from healthy donor's myocardium and from myocardium affected by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on the Mg2+ -ATPase activity of actomyosin from the tissues has been studied by this method. During cross-myofibril reconstruction the sensitivity of desensitive acto-myosin to Ca2+ was restored and it did not depend either on actomyosin or tropomyosin-troponin complex origin. Bovine actomyosin has been used as a standard protein in comparison with human actomyosin during addition of the regulatory proteins. The Mg2+ -ATPase actomyosin activity was 1.5 times lower for DCM patients than for healthy donors. It probably depends on modification changes of contractile proteins during DCM development.
