Abstrakt: The compound MCI-154 was previously shown to increase the calcium sensitivity of cardiac muscle contraction. Using solution NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that MCI-154 interacts with the calcium-sensing subunit of the cardiac troponin complex, cardiac troponin C (cTnC). Surprisingly, however, it binds only to the structural C-terminal domain of cTnC (cCTnC), and not to the regulatory N-terminal domain (cNTnC) that determines the calcium sensitivity of cardiac muscle.
