The increase in contractility which occurs on exposure of cardiac muscle to catecholamines is thought to be mediated by an increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic 3’, 5-AMP [1, 2]. It is proposed that this increase activates cyclic 3’, 5’-AMP-dependent protein kinase, resulting in the phosphorylation of membrane and myofibrillar proteins (reviewed in [3, 4]). The phosphorylation of a number of cardiac myofibrillar proteins has been studied in detail both in vitro and in vivo. The inhibitory subunit of troponin (troponin-I) can be phosphorylated in vitro by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase [S, 6], and in perfused heart in response to agents which elevate cyclic 3’, 5’-AMP [7, 8]. This results in a decrease in calcium sensitivity of both the adenosine triphosphatase of isolated myofibrils [9, 10] and tension development in skinned cardiac fibres [11, 121. It is possible that this is related to the decrease in relaxation time observed on treatment of cardiac muscle with catecholamines [3, 4]. The P-light chain of myosin is also phosphorylated in cardiac muscle, although the light chain kinase is a Ca’+-dependent enzyme and is not activated by cyclic AMP [13,141. The level of phosphorylation of the P-light chain in perfused hearts does not appear to be affected by catecholamines or increased Ca*+ however [15, 161, and is probably not involved with short-term regulation of contractility.C-protein is a protein of& 140 000-150 000 which is associated with myosin in the thick filaments of striated muscle [17, 18]. Use of antibodies to C-protein on intact myofibrils showed that it was located at a spacing of 43 nm along the thick filament [191. C-protein will bind to various fragments from
