Mutations, post-translational modifications, and small molecule binding to the cardiac troponin complex alter cardiac contractile function
DownloadFall 2021
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It can lead to acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a “heart attack”, in which heart muscle dies due to disruption of its oxygen and blood supply. Even if patients survive a heart attack and receive the best medical therapy...

Structure and Function of Cardiac Troponin C (TNNC1): Implications for Heart Failure, Cardiomyopathies, and Troponin Modulating Drugs

Li, Monica X., Hwang, Peter M.
In striated muscle, the protein troponin complex turns contraction on and off in a calcium-dependent manner. The calcium-sensing component of the complex is troponin C, which is expressed from the TNNC1 gene in both cardiac muscle and slow-twitch skeletal muscle (identical transcript in both...

Cai, Fangze, Li, Monica X., Pineda-Sanbria, Sandra E., Gelozia, Shorena, Lindert, Steffen, West, Frederick, Sykes, Brian D., Hwang, Peter M.
In cardiac and skeletal muscle, the troponin complex turns muscle contraction on and off in a calcium-dependent manner. Many small molecules are known to bind to the troponin complex to modulate its calcium binding affinity, and this may be useful in a broad range of conditions in which striated...
