title: Bisphosphorylation of cardiac troponin I modulates the Ca(2+)-dependent binding of myosin subfragment S1 to reconstituted thin filaments.
abstract: We have reconstituted thin filaments comprising pyrene-labelled actin (pyr-actin), tropomyosin (Tm) and cardiac troponin (cTn). cTn was isolated in two defined phosphorylation states; completely dephosphorylated on all subunits and with only the cTnI subunit bisphosphorylated. The thin filament was saturated with cTn at a pyr-actin/Tm/cTn ratio of 7:1:1. The calcium-dependent binding of S1 to thin filaments was measured in a stopped-flow spectrophotometer and the dependence of the observed rate constant on [Ca2+] fitted to the Hill equation. The only significant difference between the two phosphorylation states of the filaments was a 0.36 decrease in the pCa50 on bisphosphorylation.
