Cardiac muscle troponin T (cTnT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNNT2 gene.[5][6] Cardiac TnT is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which is located on the thin filament of striated muscles and regulates muscle contraction in response to alterations in intracellular calcium ion concentration.

The TNNT2 gene is located at 1q32 in the human chromosomal genome, encoding the cardiac muscle isoform of troponin T (cTnT). Human cTnT is an ~36-kDa protein consisting of 297 amino acids including the first methionine with an isoelectric point (pI) of 4.88. It is the tropomyosin- binding and thin filament anchoring subunit of the troponin complex in cardiac muscle cells.[7][8][9] TNNT2 gene is expressed in vertebrate cardiac muscles and embryonic skeletal muscles.[8][9][10]

Structure

edit

Cardiac TnT is a 35.9 kDa protein composed of 298 amino acids.[11][12] Cardiac TnT is the largest of the three troponin subunits (cTnT, troponin I (TnI), troponin C (TnC)) on the actin thin filament of cardiac muscle. The structure of TnT is asymmetric; the globular C-terminal domain interacts with tropomyosin (Tm), TnI and TnC, and the N-terminal tether which strongly binds Tm. The N-terminal region of TnT is alternatively spliced, accounting for multiple isoforms observed in cardiac muscle.[13]

Function

edit

As part of the Troponin complex, the function of cTnT is to regulate muscle contraction. The N-terminal region of TnT that strongly binds actin most likely moves with Tm and actin during strong myosin crossbridge binding and force generation. This region is likely involved in the transduction of cooperativity down the thin filament.[14] The C-terminal region of TnT constitutes part of the globular troponin complex domain, and participates in employing the calcium sensitivity of strong myosin crossbridge binding to the thin filament.[15]

Clinical significance

edit

Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as with restrictive[16] and dilated cardiomyopathy. Transcripts for this gene undergo alternative splicing that results in many tissue-specific isoforms, however, the full-length nature of some of these variants has not yet been determined.[17] Mutations of this gene may be associated with mild or absent hypertrophy and predominant restrictive disease, with a high risk of sudden cardiac death.[16] Advancement to dilated cardiomyopathy may be more rapid in patients with TNNT2 mutations than in those with myosin heavy chain mutations.[18][19]

In patients with active chronic non-inflammatory myopathy and myositis, skeletal muscles are a significant source of cardiac troponin T without any cardiac involvement. It is advised to measure cardiac troponin I instead if a skeletal muscle disorder is suspected.[20]

Elevated levels after Covid-19 mRNA vaccinations

A study carried out by the University of Basel and the University Hospital of Basel found that a Covid-19 mRNA vaccination significantly elevates the cardiac troponin T levels in the blood stream. 3 % of the study subjects have shown elevated amounts of the protein after their 3rd vaccination. The effect was most pronounced among young men. It is not yet clear what the mechanism is, and the observed troponin levels were still much lower than in clinically significant heart disease. Given that previous studies only registered 35 cases of heart muscle inflammation per million subjects, the involved researchers were surprised by the results.[21]

Evolution

edit
 

Three homologous genes have evolved in vertebrates encoding three muscle type- specific isoforms of TnT.[9] Each of the TnT isoform genes is linked in chromosomal DNA to a troponin I (TnI) isoform gene encoding the inhibitory subunit of the troponin complex to form three gene pairs: The fast skeletal muscle TnI (fsTnI)-fsTnT, slow skeletal muscle TnI (ssTnI)-cTnT, and cTnI-ssTnT pairs. Sequence and epitope conservation studies suggested that genes encoding the muscle type-specific TnT and TnI isoforms have originated from a TnI-like ancestor gene and duplicated and diversified from a fsTnI-like-fsTnT-like gene pair.[22]

 

The apparently scrambled linkage between ssTnI-cTnT and cTnI-ssTnT genes actually reflects original functional linkages as that TNNT2 gene is expressed together with ssTnI gene in embryonic cardiac muscle.[23] Protein sequence alignment demonstrated that TNNT2 gene is conserved in vertebrate species (Fig. 2) in the middle and C-terminal regions, while the three muscle type isoforms are significantly diverged.[8][9]

Alternative splicing

edit

Mammalian TNNT2 gene contains 14 constitutive exons and 3 alternatively spliced exons.[24] Exons 4 and 5 encoding the N-terminal variable region and exon 13 between the middle and C-terminal regions are alternatively spliced.[25] Exon 5 encodes a 9 or 10 amino acid segment that is highly acidic and negatively charged at physiological pH.[8] Exon 5 is expressed in embryonic heart, down-regulated and ceases express during postnatal development.[26]

Embryonic cTnT with more negative charge at the N-terminal region exerts higher calcium sensitivity of actomyosin ATPase activity and myofilament force production, compared with the adult cardiac TnT, as well as a higher tolerance to acidosis.[27]

TNNT2 gene is transiently expressed in embryonic and neonatal skeletal muscles in both avian and mammalian organisms.[23][28][29] When TNNT2 is expressed in neonatal skeletal muscle, the alternative splicing of exon 5 exhibits a synchronized regulation to that in the heart in a species-specific manner.[23] This phenomenon indicates that alternative splicing of TNNT2 pre-mRNA is under the control of a genetically built- in systemic biological clock.

Posttranslational modifications

edit

Phosphorylation

edit

Ser2 of cTnT at the N terminus is constitutively phosphorylated by unknown mechanisms.[7] cTnT has been found to be phosphorylated by PKC at Thr197, Ser201, Thr206, Ser208 and Thr287 in the C-terminal region. Phosphorylation of Thr206 alone was sufficient to reduce myofilament calcium sensitivity and force production.[30][31][32][33] cTnT is also phosphorylated at Thr194 and Ser198 under stress conditions,[34] leading to attenuated cardiomyocyte contractility. Phosphorylation of cTnT at Ser278 and Thr287 by ROCK-II was shown to decrease myosin ATPase activity and myofilament force development in skinned cardiac muscle.[35] Table 1 summarizes the phosphorylation modifications of cTnT and possible functions.

O-linked GlcNAcylation

edit

cTnT is increasingly modified at Ser190 by O-GlcNAcylation during the development of heart failure in rat, accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of Ser208.[33]

Proteolytic modification

edit

In apoptotic cardiomyocytes, cTnT was cleaved by caspase 3 to generate a 25-kDa N-terminal truncated fragment.[36] This destructive fragmentation removes a part of the middle region tropomyosin binding site 1,[22] leading to attenuation of the myofilament force production by decreasing the myosin ATPase activity.[36]

In cardiac muscle under stress conditions, cardiac TnT is cleaved by calpain I, restrictively removing the entire N-terminal variable region.[37][38] This proteolytic modification of cTnT occurs in cardiac muscle in acute ischemia-reperfusion or pressure overload.[39]

The restrictively N-terminal truncated cTnT remains functional in the myofilaments and leads to reduced contractile velocity of the ventricular muscle, which extends the rapid ejection phase and results in an increase in stroke volume, especially under increased afterload.[39] In vitro studies showed that N-terminal truncated cTnT preserved the overall cardiac myofilament calcium sensitivity and cooperativity, but altered TnT's binding affinities for tropomyosin, TnI and TnC proteins,[40][41] and lead to slightly decreased maximum myosin ATPase activity and myofilament force production, which forms the basis of the selective decrease in contractile velocity of ventricular muscle to increase stroke volume without significant increase in energy expenditure.[39]

With the relatively short half life of cTnT in cardiomyocytes (3–4 days),[42] the N-terminal truncated cTnT would be replaced by newly synthesized intact cTnT in several days. Therefore, this mechanism provides a reversible posttranslational regulation to modulate cardiac function in adaptation to stress conditions.
