title: Some properties of cardiac troponin T structure.
abstract: Troponin T is eluted in multiple peaks when the whole bovine cardiac troponin complex is subjected to DEAE-cellulose chromatography in the presence of 8 M-urea. The heterogeneity observed is due to the presence of two forms of troponin T, differing in their Mr values, amino acid content, degree of phosphorylation and aggregation. Cardiac troponin T contains up to 0.8 mol of phosphate/mol of protein. Rabbit skeletal-muscle troponin T kinase phosphorylates the single site located in the N-terminal pentapeptide of cardiac troponin T. The composition of this peptide, (Ser,Asx,Glx,Glx)Val, is similar to that of skeletal-muscle troponin T. The single thiol group of cardiac troponin T is located some 50-70 residues from the N-terminus. The C-terminal sequence of cardiac troponin T is Trp-Lys, i.e. as is the case of skeletal-muscle troponin T.
