Effects of T142 Phosphorylation and Mutation R145G on the Interaction of the Inhibitory Region of Human Cardiac Troponin I with the C-Domain of Human Cardiac Troponin C
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is the inhibitory component of the troponin complex, and its interaction with cardiac troponin C (cTnC) plays a critical role in transmitting the Ca(2+) signal to the other myofilament proteins in heart muscle contraction. The switch between contraction and relaxation involves a movement of the inhibitory region of cTnI (cIp) from cTnC to actin-tropomyosin. This region of cTnI is prone to missense mutations in heart disease, and a specific mutation, R145G, has been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It also contains the unique cardiac PKC phosphorylation site at residue T142. To determine the structural consequences of the mutation R145G and the T142 phosphorylation on the interaction of cIp with cTnC, we have utilized 2D [(1)H, (15)N]-HSQC NMR spectroscopy to monitor the binding of native cIp, cIp-R (R145G), and cIp-P (phosphorylated T142), respectively, to the Ca(2+)-saturated C-domain of cTnC (cCTnC.2Ca(2+)). We also report a strategy for cloning, expression, and purification of cTnI peptide, and both synthetic and recombinant peptides are used in this study. NMR chemical shift mapping indicates that the binding epitope of cIp on cCTnC.2Ca(2+) is not greatly affected, but the affinity is reduced by approximately 14-fold by the T142 phosphorylation and approximately 4-fold by the mutation R145G, respectively. This suggests that these modifications of cIp have an adverse effect on the binding of cIp to cCTnC.2Ca(2+). These perturbations may correlate with the impairment or loss of cTnI function in heart muscle contraction.

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.
