17932326 Robinson P, Griffiths PJ, Watkins H, Redwood CS: Dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations in troponin and alpha-tropomyosin have opposing effects on the calcium affinity of cardiac thin filaments. Circ Res. 2007 Dec 7;101(12):1266-73. Epub 2007 Oct 11.

To assess whether this functional phenomenon was a direct result of altered Ca (2+) affinity or was caused by altered troponin-tropomyosin switching, we assessed Ca (2+) binding of the regulatory site of cardiac troponin C in wild-type or mutant troponin complex and thin filaments using a fluorescent probe (2-[4'-{iodoacetamido}aniline]-naphthalene-6-sulfonate) attached to Cys35 of cardiac troponin C.

The structure reveals that the W7 naphthalene ring interacts with the terminal methyl groups of M47, M60, and M81 as well as aliphatic and aromatic side chains of several other residues in the hydrophobic pocket of cNTnC.

Force-pCa relationships in TnC ((E59D,D75Y)) reconstituted rabbit psoas fibers and fluorescence spectroscopy of TnC ((E59D,D75Y)) labeled with 2-[(4'-iodoacetamide)-aniline] naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid showed a decrease in myofilament Ca (2+) sensitivity and Ca (2+) binding affinity, respectively.
