摘要: The contraction of the vertebrate heart is initiated when intercellular Ca2+ increases and binds to contractile element via cardiac troponin C (cTnC). activation cTnC triggers a series conformational changes through components thin filament that results in generation force by myocyte. While all contractions are powered this mechanism, comparison function between species reveals significant variation. This includes differences rate, strength as well regulatory ability. purpose work examine functional basis for such how these have evolved within heart. I (cTnI) myosin-binding protein (cMyBP-C) they regulated kinase A (PKA) specifically examined. (PKA activated following β-adrenergic stimulation.) influence evolution endothermy on also considered. analysis completed integration variety studies looked at hearts different utilized phylogenetic approaches specific proteins. It generally found became more complex both anatomy capacity, sequence enabled greater control reaction. In addition, appears driven proteins including cTnI.
