We describe a cardiac muscle isoform of the voltage-dependent calcium channel alpha 1 subunit, which corresponds to the rabbit ortholog of alpha 1C-a (Ca(v)1.2a). We also cloned smooth muscle isoforms alpha 1C-b (Ca(v)1.2b) and alpha 1C-d (Ca(v)1.2d). Differences among these three isoforms lie within the N-tenninal region (exon 1A or 1B), the sixth transmembrane segment of domain 1 (exon 8A or 8B), and the use of exon 10, which forms the intracellular loop between transmembrane domains I and II. Two-hybrid analysis revealed interactions among the three alpha 1 isoforms and beta subunits. In vitro overlay and immunoprecipitation analyses revealed preferential binding between alpha 1C-alpha and beta(2), which is also expressed at a high level in the heart. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
