Troponin Variants as Markers of Skeletal Muscle Health and Diseases
Ca2+-regulated contractility is a key determinant of the quality of muscles. The sarcomeric myofilament proteins are essential players in the contraction of striated muscles.

Phosphorylation of the ‘37000 component’ of the troponin complex (troponin-T) [PDF]
Most of the phosphorus present in the troponin complex, which on average contains 1 mol of P/80000g, is associated with the ‘37000 component’ (0.6mol of P/mol). The inhibitory protein and particularly the ‘37000 component’, but not the calcium-binding protein, were phosphorylated when incubated with phosphorylase b kinase and [γ-32P]ATP.

Disease-related cardiac troponins alter thin filament Ca2+ association and dissociation rates. [PDF]
The contractile response of the heart can be altered by disease-related protein modifications to numerous contractile proteins. By utilizing an IAANS labeled fluorescent troponin C, [Formula: see text], we examined the effects of ten disease-related ...

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 ...

Protein kinase C phosphomimetics alter thin filament Ca2+ binding properties. [PDF]
Adrenergic stimulation modulates cardiac function by altering the phosphorylation status of several cardiac proteins. The Troponin complex, which is the Ca(2+) sensor for cardiac contraction, is a hot spot for adrenergic phosphorylation. While the effect

Monoclonal Antibodies as Probes to Study Ligand-Induced Conformations of Troponin Subunits
Striated muscle contraction and relaxation is regulated by Ca2+ at the myofilament level via conformational modulations of the troponin complex. To understand the structure–function relationship of troponin in normal muscle and in myopathies, it is ...

Cardiac troponin I but not cardiac troponin T adheres to polysulfone dialyser membranes in an in vitro haemodialysis model: explanation for lower serum cTnI concentrations following dialysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease. Differences in cTn concentrations between cTnT and cTnI have been reported but the mechanism of such discrepancy has not been ...
