Additional evidence to support this notion originates from the observations that the final phosphorylation levels of cMyBP-C and cTnI in the cardiomyocyte suspension after PKA-treatment exceeded the average values in the Quiescence and Contraction group. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The ProQ Diamond stained 1D-gels are convenient to determine the overall degree of phosphorylation of high molecular weight proteins such as cMyBP-C, and very basic proteins such as cTnI. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As expected from the absence of any difference in Fmax, Fpas, and ktr between groups, no significant correlations were observed between these parameters and the endogenous levels of cMyBP-C, cTnI and MLC-2 phosphorylation in tissue from the different animals. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The correspondence between the cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation levels in the Quiescence hearts perfused with 0.2 mM and 1.36 mM CaCl2 was unexpected. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Therefore our results indicate the presence of a strong interaction between the effects of phosphorylation of cTnI and MLC-2 on Ca2+-sensitivity. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Cardiac MyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation were markedly increased (3.7-fold) in the Isoprenaline group relative to the Quiescence group (P<0.01). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Significant differences were found in the phosphorylation of cMyBP-C, cTnI, MLC-1 and MLC-2 in the three groups (ANOVA),while cTnT phosphorylation (approximately 80% of total cTnT) remained the same. | |||||||||||||||

|
Fig. 6A, B Quantitative analysis of cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation from 1D-gels by Pro-Q Diamond and Sypro Ruby staining. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In quiescent Langendorff-perfused hearts MLC-1, MLC-2, cMyBP-C and cTnI were mainly dephosphorylated, indicating that the relevant balance had been shifted in favour of phosphatase activity. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The impact of saturating PKA-sensitive phosphorylation of cMyBP-C, cTnI and (possibly) titin on force development was studied by repeating the Ca2+-sensitivity measurements after incubation of the cardiomyocytes with the active subunit of PKA. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation levels in the Quiescence and Contraction group were very similar. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
An overview of differences in phosphorylation of cMyBP-C, cTnI and MLC-2 in the Quiescence, Contraction and Isoprenaline group is shown in Fig. 6A, B and C, respectively. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The increases in cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation are consistent with literature data (e. g. [5]) and can be attributed to the increased activity of PKA but, because of the associated rise in the time-averaged intracellular Ca2+ concentration [2], altered activities of the Ca2+-dependent kinases CaMK II and classical PKC isoforms and, indirectly, of phosphatases such as PP-1 [22] may be involved as well. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Since cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation are strongly associated (Fig. 6D), it is not possible from these experiments to distinguish directly between effects of cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation on Ca2+-sensitivity of force development. | |||||||||||||||

Since cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation are strongly associated (Fig. 6D), it is not possible from these experiments to distinguish directly between effects of cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation on Ca2+-sensitivity of force development. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The averaged levels of cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation in the Contraction group were not significantly increased. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The endogenous phosphorylation levels of contractile proteins in TCA-treated tissue from the flash frozen hearts were determined from 2D-gels (cTnT, MLC-1 and MLC-2) and from ProQ Diamond stained 1D-gels (cMyBP-C, cTnT, cTnI and MLC-2). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The notion that Isoprenaline phosphorylates other sites on cTnI and cMyBP-C is supported by the observation that the phosphorylation levels attained exceeded those obtained in the myocyte suspension after PKA treatment. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These experiments indicate that the PKA-sensitive phosphorylation sites on cMyBP-C and/or cTnI were not saturated under basal conditions even in the Isoprenaline group. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Addition of Isoprenaline to the electrically paced (5 Hz) heart caused marked elevations of the cMyBP-C and cTnI phosphorylation levels, but did not result in a further significant increase in MLC-2 phosphorylation. | |||||||||||||||
