Tension development and relaxation in cardiac muscle are regulated at the thin filament via Ca2+ binding to cardiac troponin C (cTnC) and strong cross-bridge binding. However, the influence of cTnC Ca2+-binding properties on these processes in the organized structure of cardiac sarcomeres is not well-understood and likely differs from skeletal muscle. To study this we generated single amino acid variants of cTnC with altered Ca2+ dissociation rates (k(off)), as measured in whole troponin (cTn) complex by stopped-flow spectroscopy (I61Q cTn>WT cTn>L48Q cTn), and exchanged them into cardiac myofibrils and demembranated trabeculae. In myofibrils at saturating Ca2+, L48Q cTnC did not affect maximum tension (T-max), thin filament activation (k(ACT)) and tension development (k(TR)) rates, or the rates of relaxation, but increased duration of slow phase relaxation. In contrast, I61Q cTnC reduced T-max, k(ACT) k(TR) and k(TR) by 40-65% with little change in relaxation. Interestingly, k(ACT) was less than k(TR) with I61Q cTnC, and this difference increased with addition of inorganic phosphate, suggesting that reduced cTnC Ca2+-affinity can limit thin filament activation kinetics. Trabeculae exchanged with I61Q cTn had reduced T-max, Ca2+ sensitivity of tension (pCa(50)), and slope (n(H)) of tension-pCa, while L48Q cTn increased pCa(50) and reduced n(H). Increased cross-bridge cycling with 2-deoxy-ATP increased pCa(50) with WT or L48Q cTn, but not I61Q cTn. We discuss the implications of these results for understanding the role of cTn Ca2+-binding properties on the magnitude and rate of tension development and relaxation in cardiac muscle.
