Structure of the C-domain of Human Cardiac Troponin C in Complex with Ca2+ Sensitizer EMD 57033

Overview

Ca(2+) binding to cardiac troponin C (cTnC) triggers contraction in heart, muscle. 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.
