Abstract excerpt
Cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) is a cardiac-specific, thick-filament regulatory protein that is differentially phosphorylated at Ser(273), Ser(282), and Ser(302) by various kinases and modulates contraction. In this study, phosphorylation-site-specific effects of cMyBP-C on myocardial contractility and cross-bridge kinetics were studied by sinusoidal analysis in papillary and trabecular muscle fibers...
