The Z-disk is a complex structure comprising some 40 proteins that are involved in the transmission of force developed during muscle contraction and in important signalling pathways that govern muscle homeostasis. In the Z-disk the ends...
The cardiac troponin C (TnC)-A8V mutation is associated with hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathy (HCM and RCM) in human and mice. The residue affected lies in the N-helix, a region known to affect Ca-binding affinity to the N...
The heart responds to physiological and pathophysiological stress factors by increasing its production of nitric oxide (NO), which reacts with intracellular glutathione to form S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a protein S-nitrosylating agent...
Pathogenesis associated with a restrictive cardiomyopathy mutant in cardiac troponin T is due to reduced protein stability and greatly increased myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity.
Dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations in troponin can blunt effects of protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), decreasing myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity; however this effect has never been tested...
