The intrinsically disordered C terminus of troponin T binds to troponin C to modulate myocardial force generation. [PDF]
Aberrant regulation of myocardial force production represents an early biomechanical defect associated with sarcomeric cardiomyopathies, but the molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here, we evaluated the pathogenicity of a previously unreported sarcomeric gene variant identified in a pediatric patient with sporadic dilated cardiomyopathy, and ...

The calcium sensitizer drug MCI-154 binds the structural C-terminal domain of cardiac troponin C [PDF]
The compound MCI-154 was previously shown to increase the calcium sensitivity of cardiac muscle contraction. Using solution NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that MCI-154 interacts with the calcium-sensing subunit of the cardiac troponin complex, cardiac ...

The prognostic value of postoperative cardiac troponin I and T for major adverse cardiac events after coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review [PDF]
Background: This systematic review describes the prognostic value of postoperative cardiac high-sensitive troponin I and T as risk markers for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and their predictive ...

The enthalpy titration of troponin C with calcium
Microcalorimetric titrations have been used to study the binding of Ca2+ to troponin C, the Ca-binding component of troponin. Troponin C was extracted from rabbit skeletal muscle and Ca2+ was added to Ca-free troponin C in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ at pH 8.83 at 10 degrees C.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutations of Troponin Reveal Details of Striated Muscle Regulation
Striated muscle contraction is inhibited by the actin associated proteins tropomyosin, troponin T, troponin I and troponin C. Binding of Ca2+ to troponin C relieves this inhibition by changing contacts among the regulatory components and ultimately ...

X-ROS Signaling Depends on Length-Dependent Calcium Buffering by Troponin
The stretching of a cardiomyocyte leads to the increased production of reactive oxygen species that increases ryanodine receptor open probability through a process termed X-ROS signaling.

An in silico analysis of troponin I mutations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of Indian origin. [PDF]
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder of the myocardium which is hypertrophied resulting in arrhythmias and heart failure leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD).
