Crystal structure of troponin C in complex with troponin I fragment at 2.3-Å resolution [PDF]
Troponin (Tn), the complex of three subunits (TnC, TnI, and TnT), plays a key role in Ca 2+ -dependent regulation of muscle contraction. To elucidate the interactions between the Tn subunits and the conformation of TnC in the Tn complex, we have determined the crystal structure of TnC (two Ca 2+

Crosstalk within Cardiac Troponin Complex with the R145W Mutation in Cardiac Troponin I [PDF]
The cardiac troponin I (cTnI) inhibitory peptide (IPcTnI) and N-terminal domains (NtcTnI) both regulate the affinity of troponin C (cTnC) to Ca2+ being substrates for protein kinases -C (PKC; T143) and -A (PKA; S23/24), respectively. The R145W mutation localized next to the T143 site has been linked to the development of restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM)

Calcium induced regulation of skeletal troponin--computational insights from molecular dynamics simulations. [PDF]
The interaction between calcium and the regulatory site(s) of striated muscle regulatory protein troponin switches on and off muscle contraction. In skeletal troponin binding of calcium to sites I and II of the TnC subunit results in a set of structural ...

Phosphorylation of troponin and the effects of interactions between the components of the complex [PDF]
1. The troponin complex from skeletal muscle contains approximately 1 mol of phosphate/80000g of complex, covalently bound to the troponin T component. 2. On prolonged incubation of the troponin complex or troponin T with phosphorylase kinase the phosphate content of troponin T was increased to approx. 3mol/mol. 3. On prolonged incubation of troponin I

The 99th percentile of reference population for cTnI and cTnT assay: Methodology, pathophysiology and clinical implications [PDF]
According to recent international guidelines, including the 2012 Third Universal Definiton of Myocardial Infarction by the Joint ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF Task Force, an increase in cardiac troponin (cTn) levels over the 99th percentile upper reference limit ...

Modeling Human Cardiac Thin Filament Structures
Striated muscle contraction is regulated in a calcium-dependent manner through dynamic motions of the tropomyosin/troponin polymer, a multicomponent complex wrapped around actin-containing thin filaments.

The Solution Structure of a Cardiac Troponin C−Troponin I−Troponin T Complex Shows a Somewhat Compact Troponin C Interacting with an Extended Troponin I−Troponin T Component [PDF]
We have investigated the structure of the cTnC-cTnI-cTnT(198-298) calcium-saturated, ternary cardiac troponin complex by small-angle scattering with contrast variation. Shape restoration was also applied to the scattering information resulting from the deuterated cTnC subunit, the unlabeled cTnI-cTnT(198-298) subunits, and the entire complex.

Background Troponin elevation occurs commonly in the setting of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). There is a lack of information on the extent of troponin elevation post TAVR that is prognostically significant. We assessed the optimal cutoff
