Cardiac phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated cardiac troponin inhibitory subunit (troponin I) and tropomyosin-binding subunit (troponin T), present either as the free form or as the troponin-tropomyosin complex. Exhaustive phosphorylation of troponin I and of troponin T revealed that 1.7 and 2 mol of phosphate was incorporated/mol of the subunits respectively. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, though incorporating 0.8 mol of phosphate/mol of troponin I, was unable to phosphorylate troponin T. Phosphorylation of troponin I (apparent Km = 3.4 microM; Vmax. = 2.6 mumol/min per mg of enzyme) or troponin T (apparent Km = 0.3 microM; Vmax. = 0.5 mumol/min per mg of enzyme) by the Ca2+-dependent enzyme was inhibited by various agents, such as adriamycin, palmitoylcarnitine, trifluoperazine, melittin and N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloronaphthalene-1-sulphonamide (compound W-7). Ca2+ antagonists (such as verapamil), forskolin and ouabain were ineffective. These findings indicate that troponin I and troponin T were effective substrates for this species of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, suggesting its potential regulatory role in the contractile activity of myofibrils modulated by troponin.

Skeletal-muscle troponin I and troponin T were found to be rapidly phosphorylated by cardiac phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, with Km values of 6.66 and 0.13 microM respectively. Stoichiometric phosphorylation of skeletal troponin I (endogenous phosphate content 0.7 mol/mol) indicated that the Ca2+-dependent enzyme and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase incorporated 0.9 and 0.8 mol/mol respectively. The same experiments with skeletal troponin T (endogenous phosphate content 1.9 mol/mol) revealed a maximal phosphorylation of 2 mol/mol by the Ca2+-dependent enzyme, whereas the cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme was unable to phosphorylate troponin T. The Ca2+-dependent enzyme phosphorylated both serine and threonine residues in skeletal and cardiac troponin I or troponin T; the cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme, in comparison, phosphorylated only serine in skeletal and cardiac troponin I. Although an equimolar amount of skeletal or cardiac troponin C markedly inhibited (80-90%) phosphorylation of skeletal and cardiac troponin I by the Ca2+-dependent enzyme, these troponin C preparations inhibited only phosphorylation of skeletal troponin I, but not that of cardiac troponin I, by the cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme. Calmodulin and Ca2+-binding protein S-100a could mimic the inhibitory effect of troponin C. A tissue specificity appeared to exist for the skeletal troponin T-skeletal troponin C interaction. Inhibition of troponin T phosphorylation by an equimolar amount of troponin C was lower than that of troponin I phosphorylation; these findings might explain in part why troponin T was the major substrate for the Ca2+-dependent enzyme in the troponin complex. The present studies indicate that skeletal and cardiac troponin I and troponin T were effective substrates for phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, suggesting a potential involvement of this Ca2+-effector enzyme in the regulation of myofibrillar activity.

1. Troponin I isolated from fresh cardiac muscle by affinity chromatography contains about 1.9 mol of covalently bound phosphate/mol. Similar preparations of white-skeletal-muscle troponin I contain about 0.5 mol of phosphate/mol. 2. A 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and a protein phosphatase are associated with troponin isolated from cardiac muscle. 3. Bovine cardiac 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I 30 times faster than white-skeletal-muscle troponin I. 4. Troponin I is the only component of cardiac troponin phosphorylated at a significant rate by the endogenous or a bovine cardiac 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. 5. Phosphorylase kinase catalyses the phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I at similar or slightly faster rates than white-skeletal-muscle troponin I. 6. Troponin C inhibits the phosphorylation of cardiac and skeletal troponin I catalysed by phosphorylase kinase and the phosphorylation of white skeletal troponin I catalysed by 3':5'-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; the phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I catalysed by the latter enzyme is not inhibited.

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 with phosphorylase kinase up to 1.6mol of phosphate/mol were incorporated. 4. Phosphorylation of troponin I was greatly inhibited by troponin C owing to the strong interaction between these proteins. Thus in the troponin complex troponin T was the main substrate for phosphorylase kinase. The phosphorylation of isolated troponin T was also inhibited by troponin C. 5. Troponin I was phosphorylated when the troponin complex was incubated with a bovine cardiac 3′:5′-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Troponin T either in its isolated form or in the troponin complex was not phosphorylated by bovine protein kinase to any significant extent under the conditions used. 6. If the troponin complex was dephosphorylated to 0.2mol/mol, or phosphorylated up to 2.5mol/mol there was no significant effect on the ability of normal concentrations to confer Ca2+sensitivity on the adenosine triphosphatase of densensitized actomyosin.

1. Troponin I prepared from rabbit hearts contains 1.0-1.5 mol of P/mol when isolated by affinity chromatography. Most of the covalently bound phosphate is located in residues 1-48 of the molecule. 2. 3′:5′-Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalyses phosphorylation at serine-20 and serine-146. Serine-20 is more rapidly phosphorylated than serine-146. 3. In troponin I prepared from frozen hearts by affinity chromatography about 0.3-0.5 mol of P/mol is associated with serine-20 and 0.8-1.0 mol of P/mol with other site(s) in residues 1-48 of the molecule. 4. Phosphorylation at serine-20 and servine-146 is not significantly inhibited by troponin C. 5. The mechansim of the interaction of troponin C with cardiac troponin I is discussed in the light of these results.
