Structure of the C-domain of Human Cardiac Troponin C in Complex with Ca2+ Sensitizer EMD 57033
Structural highlights
DiseaseTNNC1_HUMAN Defects in TNNC1 are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1Z (CMD1Z) [MIM:611879. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death.[1] Defects in TNNC1 are the cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 13 (CMH13) [MIM:613243. A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death.[2] [3] [4] [5] FunctionTNNC1_HUMAN Troponin is the central regulatory protein of striated muscle contraction. Tn consists of three components: Tn-I which is the inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase, Tn-T which contains the binding site for tropomyosin and Tn-C. The binding of calcium to Tn-C abolishes the inhibitory action of Tn on actin filaments. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

In heart failure, myofilaments response to Ca(2+) are often altered and compounds that sensitize the myofilaments to Ca(2+) possess therapeutic value in this syndrome. One of the most potent and selective Ca(2+) sensitizers is the thiadiazinone derivative EMD 57033, which increases myocardial contractile function both in vivo and in vitro and interacts with cTnC in vitro. We have determined the NMR structure of the 1:1 complex between Ca(2+)-saturated C-domain of human cTnC (cCTnC) and EMD 57033. Favorable hydrophobic interactions between the drug and the protein position EMD 57033 in the hydrophobic cleft of the protein. The drug molecule is orientated such that the chiral group of EMD 57033 fits deep in the hydrophobic pocket and makes several key contacts with the protein. This stereospecific interaction explains why the (-)-enantiomer of EMD 57033 is inactive. Titrations of the cCTnC.EMD 57033 complex with two regions of cardiac troponin I (cTnI(34-71) and cTnI(128-147)) reveal that the drug does not share a common binding epitope with cTnI(128-147) but is completely displaced by cTnI(34-71). These results have important implications for elucidating the mechanism of the Ca(2+) sensitizing effect of EMD 57033 in cardiac muscle contraction.
