Protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation of troponin I and C-protein in isolated myocardial cells is associated with inhibition of myofibrillar actomyosin MgATPase.
Phosphorylation of cardiac myofibrillar proteins by protein kinase C (PKC) in isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes has been compared with that mediated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). PKA activation by beta-adrenoreceptor (isoproterenol) stimulation results in stoichiometric phosphorylation of troponin I (TnI) and C-protein. PKC activation by either 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or by alpha-adrenoreceptor (phenylephrine plus propranolol) stimulation results in phosphorylation of the same two proteins to similar extents. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping shows that the same sites in TnI are modified by PKC in vitro and in TPA- or alpha-agonist-stimulated cells. These sites are distinct from those phosphorylated in isoproterenol-stimulated cells or by PKA in vitro. Phosphopeptide mapping analysis of C-protein shows that PKC and PKA phosphorylate identical residues in this protein in vitro and in situ. TPA-stimulated phosphorylation in myocytes is associated with a reduction in maximal activity of myofibrillar Ca(2+)-dependent actomyosin MgATPase. Isoproterenol-stimulated phosphorylation has no effect on maximal activity but reduces the Ca2+ sensitivity of the MgATPase. These data demonstrate that TnI and C-protein are phosphorylated in myocardial cells by both PKA and PKC, resulting in different functional consequences in each case.
