    motifs/domains
  • has a unique 31-AAs N-terminal region that binds cardiac troponin C (TNNC1) to increase the calcium sensitivity of the sarcomere
  • C-terminal end segment of TNNI3 participates in the Ca(2+) regulation of muscle thin filament through interaction with tropomyosin
  • conjugated PhosphoP , Other

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the regulation of heart
  • involved in the regulation of muscle contraction
  • calcium channel inhibitory activity
  • blocking actin-myosin interactions and thereby mediating striated muscle relaxation
  • participates in proper stabilization of tropomyosin in the Ca2+-activated state (Galinska 2010)
  • inhibitory subunit of the troponin complex in the sarcomeric thin filament of striated muscle and plays a central role in the calcium regulation of contraction and relaxation

    PATHWAY

    a component
  • inhibitory subunit of the troponin complex of the thin filaments of striated muscle
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to actin-tropomyosin
  • interactng with TRIM63
  • binding to DSCR1L2 (Canaider 2006)
  • CAMK2A-dependent TNNI3 phosphorylation is involved in frequency-dependent myofilament Ca(2+) desensitization (FDMCD) and the consequent frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation (FDAR) and CAMK2A inhibition removes this mechanism and thus induces diastolic dysfunction

    REGULATION
    Phosphorylated by STK4 (You 2009)
    Other phosphorylation of the PRKACA sites (Ser(23)/Ser(24)) of TNNI3 results in a decrease in myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity and an increase in the rate of relaxation
    phosphorylation by PRKAG1 may represent a novel mechanism of regulation of cardiac function

    Variant & Polymorphism
    Candidate gene
  • two novel missense mutations (Lys36Gln, Asn185Lys) causing autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy (Carballo 2009)
  • combination of elevated CRP and TNNI3 increase the risk of adverse cardiac events (Huang 2009)
  • elevated TNNI3 levels are significantly associated with short- and long-term mortality in ESRD patients with sepsis (Kang 2009)
  • Marker
  • NPPB and TNNI3 are useful markers for identifying patients at risk for clinical deteriorations, and combined measurements of these biomarkers further improves the prognostic value of increased cardiovascular events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
