Phosphorylation and Mutation of Human Cardiac Troponin I Deferentially Destabilize the Interaction of the Functional Regions of Troponin I with Troponin C<sup>,</sup>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have utilized 2D [(1)H,(15)N]HSQC NMR spectroscopy to elucidate the binding of three segments of cTnI in native, phosphorylated, and mutated states to cTnC. The near N-terminal region (cRp; residues 34-71) contains the protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation sites S41 and S43, the inhibitory region (cIp; residues 128-147) contains another PKC site T142 and a familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) mutation R144G, and the switch region (cSp; residues 147-163) contains the novel p21-activated kinase (PAK) site S149 and another FHC mutation R161W. While S41/S43 phosphorylation of cRp had minimal disruption in the interaction of cRp and cTnC.3Ca(2+), T142 phosphorylation reduced the affinity of cIp for cCTnC.2Ca(2+) by approximately 14-fold and S149 phosphorylation reduced the affinity of cSp for cNTnC.Ca(2+) by approximately 10-fold. The mutation R144G caused an approximately 6-fold affinity decrease of cIp for cCTnC.2Ca(2+) and mutation R161W destabilized the interaction of cSp and cNTnC.Ca(2+) by approximately 1.4-fold. When cIp was both T142 phosphorylated and R144G mutated, its affinity for cCTnC.2Ca(2+) was reduced approximately 19-fold, and when cSp was both S149 phosphorylated and R161W mutated, its affinity for cNTnC.Ca(2+) was reduced approximately 4-fold. Thus, while the FHC mutation R144G enhances the effect of T142 phosphorylation on the interaction of cIp and cCTnC.2Ca(2+), the FHC mutation R161W suppresses the effect of S149 phosphorylation on the interaction of cSp and cNTnC.Ca(2+), demonstrating linkages between the FHC mutation and phosphorylation of cTnI. The observed alterations corroborate well with structural data. These results suggest that while the modifications in the cRp region have minimal influence, those in the key functional cIp-cSp region have a pronounced effect on the interaction of cTnI and cTnC, which may correlate with the altered myofilament function and cardiac muscle contraction under pathophysiological conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
