Role of troponin I phosphorylation in protein kinase C-mediated enhanced contractile performance of rat myocytes.

چکیده
Our goal was to define the role of phosphorylated cardiac troponin-I in the adult myocyte contractile performance response to activated protein kinase C. In agreement with earlier work, endothelin enhanced both adult rat myocyte contractile performance and cardiac troponin-I phosphorylation. Protein kinase C participated in both responses. The role of cardiac troponin-I phosphorylation in the contractile function response to protein kinase C was further investigated using gene transfer into myocytes of troponin-I isoforms/mutants lacking one or more phosphorylation sites previously identified in purified cardiac troponin-I. Sarcomeric replacement with slow skeletal troponin-I-abrogated protein kinase C-mediated troponin-I phosphorylation. In functional studies, endothelin slowed relaxation in myocytes expressing slow skeletal troponin-I, while the relaxation rate increased in myocytes expressing cardiac troponin-I. Based on these results, acceleration of myocyte relaxation during protein kinase C activation largely depended on cardiac troponin-I phosphorylation. Experiments with troponin-I isoform chimeras provided evidence that phosphorylation sites in the amino portion of cardiac troponin I-mediated the protein kinase C acceleration of relaxation. The cardiac troponin-I Thr-144 phosphorylation site identified in earlier biochemical studies was not significantly phosphorylated during the acute contractile response. Thus, amino-terminal protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation sites in cardiac troponin-I are likely responsible for the accelerated relaxation observed in adult myocytes.

TNNI3K is a novel mediator of myofilament function and phosphorylates cardiac troponin I
The phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) plays an important role in the contractile dysfunction associated with heart failure. Human cardiac troponin I-interacting kinase (TNNI3K) is a novel cardiac-specific functional kinase that can bind to cTnI in a yeast two-hybrid screen. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether TNNI3K can phosphorylate cTnI at specific sites and to exa...
متن کاملTroponin I chimera analysis of the cardiac myofilament tension response to protein kinase A.
Viral-mediated gene transfer of troponin I (TnI) isoforms and chimeras into adult rat cardiac myocytes was used to investigate the role TnI domains play in the myofilament tension response to protein kinase A (PKA). In myocytes expressing endogenous cardiac TnI (cTnI), PKA phosphorylated TnI and myosin-binding protein C and decreased the Ca2+ sensitivity of myofilament tension. In marked contra...

In the heart, cAMP is a key regulator of excitation-contraction coupling and its biological effects are mainly associated with the activity of protein kinase A (PKA). The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of the cAMP-binding protein Epac (Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) in the regulation of the contractile properties of rat ventricular cardiac myocytes. We repor...

Protein kinase D (PKD) is a serine/threonine kinase with emerging myocardial functions; in skinned adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs), recombinant PKD catalytic domain phosphorylates cardiac troponin I at Ser22/Ser23 and reduces myofilament Ca sensitivity. We used adenoviral gene transfer to determine the effects of full-length PKD on protein phosphorylation, sarcomere shortening and [Ca ]i...
