Pathogenesis associated with a restrictive cardiomyopathy mutant in cardiac troponin T is due to reduced protein stability and greatly increased myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations in troponin can blunt effects of protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), decreasing myofilament Ca2+-sensitivity; however this effect has never been tested for restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) mutants. This study explores whether an RCM cardiac troponin T mutant (cTnT-ΔE96) interferes with convergent PKA regulation and if...
