متن کاملTitin isoforms in heart failure: are there benefits to supersizing?
Titin is a giant sarcomeric protein that functions as a complex, molecular spring. Its presence in the sarcomere of striated muscle was recognized in the 1980s,1 but its functions have been appreciated only over the past decade, in considerable measure because of the efforts of Granzier, Labeit, Linke, and coworkers.2–4 Earlier work by these investigators and others4 delineated the spring prope...

متن کاملModulation of titin-based stiffness by disulfide bonding in the cardiac titin N2-B unique sequence.
The giant protein titin is responsible for the elasticity of nonactivated muscle sarcomeres. Titin-based passive stiffness in myocardium is modulated by titin-isoform switching and protein-kinase (PK)A- or PKG-dependent titin phosphorylation. Additional modulatory effects on titin stiffness may arise from disulfide bonding under oxidant stress, as many immunoglobulin-like (Ig-)domains in titin'...
متن کاملRenin overexpression leads to increased titin-based stiffness contributing to diastolic dysfunction in hypertensive mRen2 rats.
Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for heart failure. We investigated the influence of HTN on cardiac contraction and relaxation in transgenic renin overexpressing rats (carrying mouse Ren-2 renin gene, mRen2, n = 6). Blood pressure (BP) was measured. Cardiac contractility was characterized by echocardiography, cellular force measurements, and biochemical assays were applied to reveal mo...
