Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Protein kinase (PK)C-induced phosphorylation of cardiac troponin (cTn)I has been shown to regulate cardiac contraction. OBJECTIVE: Characterize functional effects of increased PKC-induced cTnI phosphorylation and identify underlying mechanisms using a transgenic mouse model (cTnI(PKC-P)) expressing mutant cTnI (S43E, S45E, T144E). METHODS AND RESULTS: Two-dimensional gel analysis showed 7.2+/-0.5%...
