The interaction of myosin with actin is necessary to the development of force and striated muscle contraction. Whether in skeletal or cardiac striated muscles, the number of myosin molecules that are able to bind to actin is therefore critical to the development of muscle force and modulating these numbers is essential to match the contractile needs of the body to its everyday tasks. While increased intracellular calcium is required to initiate muscle contraction and can be altered to indirectly modulate muscle contraction, it is the myofilament regulatory proteins that respond to this increased calcium to directly regulate the number of myosin molecules that can bind actin and thus contractile force development. Since the identification of the myofilament regulatory proteins tropomyosin, the troponin complex (Tn), myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C) and the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC), much has been learned about the structure-function of these myofilament regulatory proteins and their role in modulating contraction, however significant questions regarding the molecular mechanism of myofilament contractile modulation remain. This Highlight Issue of Achieves of Biochemistry and Biophysics brings together of a broad spectrum of both reviews and original research works that further the current understanding of the diverse molecular mechanisms involved in the modulation of striated muscle contraction through the myofilament regulatory proteins.Reviews in this Highlight Issue summarize current knowledge regarding the role of the Tn regulatory complex to translate the initiating calcium signal into force and its function in modulating muscle contraction. The review by Jonathan Davis and colleagues summarizes the role of calcium as a second messenger signaling molecule and the calcium binding motifs that the downstream sensing proteins employ to respond to this signal by binding calcium (1). This understanding is applied to discuss current knowledge of how the Tn calcium sensor is involved in the myofilament regulation of muscle contraction with a focus on the calcium binding subunit of the Tn complex troponin C (TnC). Finally, the review addresses current state of the art approaches to engineer the TnC calcium binding EF-hand motif as a mechanism to modulate muscle contraction. The review from Michael Regnier and colleague summarizes the calcium regulated structure-function of the Tn complex with a focus on the role of the Tn inhibitory subunit (TnI)(2). This review discusses current knowledge of how protein kinase A (PKA) mediated phosphorylation signaling to TnI and TnI hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated mutations affect the modulation of cardiac muscle contraction. Finally, the review addresses current data supporting a significant role for the TnC-TnI interaction as a myofilament mechanism to modulate cardiac contraction.
