Sarcolemmal phospholamban is phosphorylated in isolated rat hearts perfused with isoprenaline

J P Huggins, P J England

|November 14, 1983

Abstract:

Phosphorylation of phospholamban in cardiac sarcolemma is implicated in the increased influx of Ca2+ through the slow calcium channel induced by catecholamines. A method is described for the preparation of highly purified sarcolemmal vesicles from rat heart, and this has been used to examine the phosphorylation of phospholamban in 32Pi-perfused rat hearts. Phospholamban phosphorylation is increased 3-fold after 30 s of perfusion with 0.1 microM isoprenaline. The time course of this increase precedes the inotropic response by 5-10 s.

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential second messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA) and regulates various biological processes. A single epinephrine molecule binds to GPCR and activates several heterotrimeric G proteins, each stimulating multiple adenylyl cyclase, amplifying the signal, and synthesizing large numbers of cAMP molecules. Small changes in cAMP concentration affect PKA activity. The binding of four cAMP molecules induces a conformational change in PKA,...

Transducer Mechanism: Enzyme-Linked Receptors

Enzyme-linked receptors are cell-surface receptors acting as an enzyme or associating with an enzyme intracellularly. They make excellent drug targets. Drugs can bind to the extracellular ligand-binding domain or directly affect their enzymatic domain and alter their activity.
Major types that are helpful drug targets include:
