title: Cardiac troponin I inhibitory peptide: location of interaction sites on troponin C.
abstract: Cardiac troponin I(129-149) binds to the calcium saturated cardiac troponin C/troponin I(1-80) complex at two distinct sites. Binding of the first equivalent of troponin I(129-149) was found to primarily affect amide proton chemical shifts in the regulatory domain, while the second equivalent perturbed amide proton chemical shifts within the D/E linker region. Nitrogen-15 transverse relaxation rates showed that binding the first equivalent of inhibitory peptide to the regulatory domain decreased conformational exchange in defunct calcium binding site I and that addition of the second equivalent of inhibitory peptide decreased flexibility in the D/E linker region. No interactions between the inhibitory peptide and the C-domain of cardiac troponin C were detected by these methods demonstrating that the inhibitory peptide cannot displace cTnI(1-80) from the C-domain.
