  • Title: Protein phosphorylation and compartments of cyclic AMP in the control of cardiac contraction.
    Author: Murray KJ, Reeves ML, England PJ.
    Journal: Mol Cell Biochem; 1989 Sep 07; 89(2):175-9. PubMed ID: 2554123.
    Abstract:
    The roles of cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and the phosphorylation of specific proteins in the regulation of cardiac contractility are briefly reviewed. Criteria for determining whether changes in cyclic AMP and protein phosphorylation are involved in a physiological response are discussed. Although cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the voltage-operated Ca2+ channel, phospholamban, troponin-I and C-protein have all been implicated in the response of the heart to inotropic agents which elevate cyclic AMP, none of these phosphorylations satisfy all of the criteria completely. Evidence is presented that there are compartments of cyclic AMP in heart which are coupled to different functional responses.
